Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] IEP canceled for the next term

2011-12-13 Thread Srikanth Lakshmanan
Hi,

There is also a special extension being developed for Education Program[1]
and hope this will introduce a systemic workflow by default for students
joining through *EP, hence there could be great control and will help
wikipedian volunteers / CA / OA etc. I think the next IEP will also have
these tools which will help people who volunteer for / manage the project.

hi Bala,

Could we also have some idea on how we can help with the cleanup that
was needed? Is there a category in which these articles are placed so
that we can clean-up the articles?
I have heard about the clean-up being needed and felt that I could
offer some assistance.

warm regards,
Pradeep

 In the same page, i see the first use of the failure word. from the
 organisers. (* I don't feel that we can say we've involved the community in
 determining why the Pune Pilot failed*). A page full of insights from
 interviews conducted with people involved ruminating on why the program
 failed has been added.[2]  Looks finally we have gotten around to
 plainspeak and learning from mistakes. (I believe these interviews are
 separate from Tory Read's report, which is due on Jan 15.)

 It would have better if we had been informed here too, instead of having to
 dig through talk page discussions. Since IEP discussions have taken all
 over the place, please take care to make important announcements like this
 are made in all places where previous discussions have taken place - meta,
 en wiki project page, india list and INT noticeboard in India.

Hi Pradeep,

Here is the CCI page for IEP
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contributor_copyright_investigations/Indian_Education_Program

This page lists all known IEP students and their contribs. A CCI checker
needs to go through the diffs provided, compare with the ref/google it and
see whether it is copyvio or not. Take a look at CCI instructions and the
various notations used and start with a small contrib to begin with. CCI
people are usually helpful and correct new participants.

regards
Bala
