[Wikimediaindia-l] Contribute campaign
Hi everyone I mentioned the contribute campaign on the mailing list earlier, I wanted to inform everyone that the pages have been set up on Meta. I would like to invite participation from anyone who would like to support the Indian language projects. There are 3 distinct areas that the contribute campaign is going to focus on, the English Wikipedia, the Social Media and the Indic Language wikis. The Indic language contribute campaign seeks to bring more attention and drive up participation on our local language projects. The essence of the campaign is to turn readers into editors. The motivation is purely to seek non-financial contributions from our readers in the form of edits.

Good work Santhosh and team.

[Wikimediaindia-l] Fwd:Kannada -English Dictionary bot launched
Dear Wikimedians, Here is one more solution from Santhosh and team for the Indian Languages. After Malayalam and Hindi dictionary bot, now it is the turn of Kannada. Vasudev Kamath has customized this solution for Kannada. But unlike Malayalam and Hindi, Kannada dictionary bot completely relies on *Kannada Wiktionary*, since Kannada does not have a free s/w licensed dictionary database. Read the blog post for more details: http://vasudevkamath.blogspot.com/2010/11/jabber-dictionary-bot-for-kannada.html Shiju Alex -- Forwarded message -- From: Santhosh Thottingal Date: Mon, Nov 22, 2010 at 9:54 PM Subject: [smc-discuss] Kannada -English Dictionary bot launched To: Discussion list of Swathanthra Malayalam Computing < disc...@lists.smc.org.in>, silpa-disc...@nongnu.org Friends, Based on the code of our very successful dictionary bot, Vasudev Kamath launched English-Kannada dictionary bot service. Unlike Malayalam or Hindi, Kannada does not have a free s/w licensed dictionary database. So the bot completely relies on the Kannada wiktionary. See the blog post: http://vasudevkamath.blogspot.com/2010/11/jabber-dictionary-bot-for-kannada.html And English-Malayalam bot now uses Malayalam wiktionary along with our dict database. It crossed 8000 users now. I had written a blog post about this here: http://thottingal.in/blog/2010/11/20/dictionary-jabber-buddy-bots/ Parsing wiktionary content is not an easy job, it still have some bugs. Wiktionary has highly unstructured data or machine consumption. Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi bots are running from our VPS server.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] List of Indian language wiki projects
I have added all the Indian language wikipedias that are in incubator also to this list. But this list is still not complete. Only the information about the wikipedia project is added. Sister projects (wikitionary, wikibooks, and so on) of many languages are in incubator. We need to gather that information also and add it to this list. I have generated the above list for the purpose of Newsletter. But that list was not complete.

[Wikimediaindia-l] Speaking at GLOBALOCAL: The Forum for content
Hello! Achal and I are speaking at GLOBALOCAL: The Forum for content on 26 November 2010. http://www.newdelhi.gbo.org/en/events/ We will be speaking about the Commons as a resource and how Wikipedia is a stellar example of how collaborative material is being produced and published on the internet. Would anyone have examples of the Wikimedia Commons/Wikipedia being used in the mainstream publishing world? Interestingly, this is one while Bishaka will be speaking in Mumbai! Thank you.
