We could still use the content as RS since it comes from govt. Wondering if the Chapter and the Office can do anything? Perhaps the Chapter can offer to conduct training programs for government servants in all states (cascading model) to upload and maintain information on government procedures and processes. It could be a steady source of income for the Trust. What is also needed is information on what we might call 'ground reality' processes. For instance, when the information asked for in the form etc does not match the information actually needed by the officer concerned, or at least claimed to be needed. For obvious reasons, such processes cannot be authenticated with references to official documents, yet it is precisely these that are needed by ordinary applicants, who are otherwise driven to the arms of pimps (ie, consultants). The arthapedia site will also necessarily fail in this respect, so either wikifyindia or Wikipedia itself must provide a meaningful solution.

We are pleased to let you know we can arrange a talk/lecture on Wikipedia at your college if you could arrange a lab for 3 hours with some students. Below is the sample call for program and we can structure the agenda based on the below one. We could also include specific areas within Wikipedia in the agenda which your students might be interested in.(Ex:- Wikipedia as media resource for journalism students / Technical talk on Wikipedia for Computer Science students) We could send a local Wikipedian to talk about Wikipedia and how students can benefit out of it by knowing more than just a site to get assignment notes. Please let us know if you are interested.we are interested please tell us what to do On Sun, Aug 28, 2011 at 8:50 AM, Ashwin Baindur ashwin.bain...@gmail.comwrote: This is relevant to all those who have written to the various lists and asked how one can participate. volunteer or help in any way. We need people to upload images to Wikimedia Commons. - We face a problem in that photographers are willing to go out shoot and donate images. But they are unfamiliar with Commons and do not upload it there. However, we find that they know Flickr and are willing to upload it under a suitable Creative Commons license. - There are hundreds of free images on the net, we can show you how to locate them. These can be uploaded to Commons. We are at this point of time interested in images pertaining to India only. It is a job requiring patience, care for details and intelligence as the images need to be categorised also. Where relevant we would like to add them to articles too. We need a small TEAM of three to five - people, age, sex, religion, etc, etc, no bar, except that they should have: * Knowledge of uploading images to Commons * know how to categorise * know how to load images into Wikipedia * Possess good judgement. * Possess an abiding love for Wikipedia and willing to contribute to it. If you are interested, let us know. This is a serious commitment under the India Loves Wikipedia initiative. Dont apply if just for time paas. Helpers will be awarded barnstars at a suitable date after the project is done.
