Srikanth,
Thanks for the understanding.
An ideal and desirable state will be that the WMF, Local chapters and Local
Wiki communities all co-exist with autonomy and facilitate each other's
function rather than routing everything through one or another.

Ravi, META was just a suggestion. Local wikis are fine too.

Srikanth,
We have selected such spokespersons through a vote in Tamil Wikipedia
itself. (similar to sysop voting process). Since Tamil Wiki is a close knit
community, we proposed around 12 names and all were elected unanimously.
After having this team of 12, we form subgroups for various purposes
Jyothis, a poll , or something like an RfA.. You stand, we elect, and we
vote on someone from each indian language to represent that particular wiki
[ALL, not just Wikipedia, Wikisource, Wikibooks, etc.] in India, to Indian
newspapers.

Sorry, I guess you were correct.

Seems worthwhile to do both these - the most accurate bits in all the recent
reports are from the Foundation's press release, which I forwarded them
after the Sunday meet.

Ravi,
Good points. I agree that it is better to provide a prepared release.
Whether they want it or not is not our issue.
Further to point 3, it would be better if the media channel is limited to
the designated people. Rest of the folks could just redirect all queries to
them and let the designat

This will also be a good way to document our activities.

Ravi,
while that is a good point, do you think the press still will take it? I

Hi Bishaka,
Welcome to Wikipedia.
No ill-feelings :) I have had similar misreporting experiences with media.
One way for better media management will be to take minutes during the
meeting and handing over a formal written press release to the media people.
We can also give contact numbers to cla

Sorry about that - don't know how or why it happens. What I said was
that with the participation of a critical mass of Wikipedians, each
language Wikipedia could possibly reflect the culture of those
language-speakers, i.e. what they want to see on Wikipedia - I certainly

Great meeting all. The TOI report, unfortunately, misquotes both me and

And of course the melodramatic headline "Wikipedia cries" could do with some
