Dear Wikimedians, I wish to inform you about CIS-A2K’s new project “Train-a-Wikipedian” (TAW) https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CIS-A2K/Train-a-Wikipedian
You may know of the English Wikipedia program Adopt-a-user <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Adopt-a-user>. We wanted to start something similar for the Indian Wikimedia communities. In February and June this year, CIS-A2K conducted Train the Trainer <http://cis-a2k/Events/Train%20the%20Trainer%20Program> (TTT) and MediaWiki Train the Trainer <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CIS-A2K/Events/MediaWiki_Train_the_Trainer_Program> (MWTTT). After conducting these two events, and communicating with the participants we found the necessity to start a training program that we’ll be running on regular basis, and from there we conceived this “Train-a-Wikipedian” program. Initially, we will be concentrating on these 5 Indian languages Wikis: 1) Kannada, 2) Konkani, 3) Marathi, 4) Odia, 5) Telugu. But, we may expand soon, if our program is a success. In our TAW main page <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CIS-A2K/Train-a-Wikipedian>, we have listed a number of topics those we will be discussing during our training. We hope to conduct hangout or webinar sessions. Please provide your feedback and suggestion. Tanveer Hasan A.K User:Lahariyaniyathi Regards,
