I was reading <http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/article2079548.ece> off another thread and, here's a part that I found illuminating <quote> Sharing the reason for choosing India, Frank Schulenburg, Head of Public Outreach at the Wikimedia Foundation, said: “We need a lot more writers from India, and a lot about India needs to be written. This is why we sensed the biggest global opportunity in India.” </quote> In my mind this sums it up well. The initial question or, conversation with Gautam was not aimed at bike-shedding but was with the idea of understanding whether everyone shared the same idea when it comes to the word 'growth'. Personally, I'd see opportunity. That slice in time and space that allows content and technology to be mashed together to provide a larger possibility to an ever increasing population by means of an outreach. And, yet, there needs to be data points defined to be able to keep track of such events and such opportunities. To Tinu, Gautam and Bishakha, thank you for taking time for responding. -- sankarshan mukhopadhyay <http://sankarshan.randomink.org/blog> _______________________________________________ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l
