Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] CIS-A2K Bulletin for June-July, 2013
Just wanted to add one more thing: the a2k team has also been talking to a few departments at Jadavpur University, Kolkata, about bringing their students and faculty on board the Bangla wikipedia. Hope to finalise these partnerships soon. Tejaswini On 16 August 2013 07:40, Subhashish Panigrahi wrote: > Dear Pradeep, > > Thanks a lot for your support.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] CIS-A2K Bulletin for June-July, 2013
Dear Pradeep, Thanks a lot for your support. A2K team had an interaction with the Bengali Wikipedia community at Kolkata. We also had tried to explore opportunities for institutional partnership for involving students for WikiProjects that are more relevant to Bengali Wikipedia. The biggest challenge so far has been outreach because of the small community. I'm extremely glad to see Jayanta da in the chapter EC. This would be helpful now for more activities. Few things are in pipeline and you'd see more updates soon. Best!

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] CIS-A2K Bulletin for June-July, 2013
Hi Subha,Thank you for this Report.Just like to ask a question related to the Indic Programmes. In your work plan for April 2013 onwards, you focus on 5 Indic languages, Telugu, Kannada, Konkani, Bengali and Odia.I am happy to see a spurt in activity reported in Telugu and Kannada communities. I am also happy to see that Odia maintains a steady pace with workshops. On Konkani, I see some mention of upcoming activities in Goa. But, I see no mention of Bengali in the report.Would you or anyone in the team like to comment on why this maybe so? What issues is CIS-A2K facing in working with Bengali?Warm regards,Pradeep MohandasSent from Yahoo!
