*DNA : "Here’s chance to become Wiki editors"*
http://www.dnaindia.com/mumbai/report_heres-chance-to-become-wiki-editors_1610665


*Achu Kunameara, 10, from Kochi, uses Wikipedia on a daily basis to promote
his mother tongue by regularly editing and uploading content in Malayalam.*
*
*
*Now he will present a paper on how students like him are using Wikipedia
to help generate content, at the Wikipedia conference to be held at the
Mumbai University’s Fort campus from November 18 to 20. “I started using
Wikipedia when I was in class IV. Instead of using its content, I started
editing some articles,’’ he said.*
*Like Kunameara, many people in the age group of 10 to 30 are using and
generating content on Wikipedia.*
*
*
*Now, Wikipedia is encouraging Indian youth to become content generators
and editors, as well as being the end users. *
*At the two-day conference, workshops like Editahon and Hackathon, will
teach students how to edit content on Wikipedia and will give chance to
tech savvy youth to develop components for mobile applications, offline
open source application and improving its interface.*

*DNA : "South India bags 50% of Wiki scholarships"*
http://www.dnaindia.com/mumbai/report_south-india-bags-50pct-of-wiki-scholarships_1610660

*There are only eight days to go for WikiConference India 2011, the first
national conference of its kind in India aimed at creating a platform for
Wikimedians (volunteers engaged in creating and editing content for all
Wikimedia projects, including Wikipedia) from across the country to enter
into a dialogue about the future of the online encyclopaedia in India,
especially its Indian language counterparts.*
*
*
*Interest in this purely volunteer-driven activity can be gauged from the
number of scholarship applications that arrived for assistance to attend
the conference which will take place at the Fort campus of University of
Mumbai. A total of 7,070 applications were received and nearly 100
candidates were selected based on their level of contribution to Wikimedia
projects.*
*
*
*However, even though the conference is being held in Mumbai, the current
lack of awareness about Indian language Wikipedias in western India has
seen just over 15% of application awards go to this region, principally
Gujarat and Maharashtra.*
*
*
*“Within this we have a very strong presence from Pune, including a focused
community working on the Marathi language Wikipedia,” said Vickram Krishna,
head of the scholarship committee for the conference. He added that over
18% of scholarship applications came from the north, and 13% from the
eastern region. The largest number of scholarship-awarded participants came
from south, a total of 50%.*
*
*
*WikiConference India will be held between November 18 and November 20. To
register as a participant, visit bit.ly/wci11* .

Another way to think of a jury is as a committee - or a smaller group of
people, who convene to make something specific happen. And there are many
of these: ChapCom (Chapters Committee), NomCom (Nominations Committee),
CommCom (Communications Committee), to name a few.

And, of course, there are more than 11 committees that are part of
WikiConference India 2011.

Also, in this specific case, the jury is charged to pick noteworthy
wikipedians from among those nominated by different communities. So it is
not like the jury is separately nominating and deciding on its own, but
from a pool nominated by a larger community. (So it's a smaller subset of
the former, in a sense).

Best,
Bishakha

In case the time is too short to do this before the last date for
nominations, this could still be done later - it is an idea that stands on
its own.

We had good discussions on the Jury size and the implications. Jury members
are also have been consulted on the process and only after their consent,
the Jury is finalized.  While there are other approaches for taking care if
some of the jury members are nominated, in view of the short lead time, we
wanted to keep the process simple.

Nominations can be done by one or more wikimedians.  You can discuss in
your core community and come up with  nominations.  Every nomination is
itself a  way of recognising fellow wikimedians who made a difference.

Hi all,

I'm really looking forward to Wikiconference India next week and congrats
in advance to the organizers, who have put countless hours into the work of
preparing this unprecedented gathering in India.  The program committee
invited me to do a talk on Sunday which is a great honor, thank you!

I'd like to ask for your input on areas you would like me to focus on in my
talk.  I will have time set aside for discussion, but want to see if you
have any particular interest areas that you'd like me to focus on.

Thanks and see you on Friday!

[Wikimediaindia-l] INR in 2011 Fundraising!! -- Finally

2011-11-11 Thread Srikanth Lakshmanan 
Hello all,

As most of you have known, Fundraising for 2011 have started. The one big
change is INR is added to list of currencies along with atleast ~40 other
currencies it seems. As such option is present only for credit cards, heard
debit cards might get added in a week and inquiries are on for adding
netbanking as well. If you have any suggestions specific to India, please
use the local testing talk page[1]. Now that we have INR in currency,
please help translate[2] into as many Indic languages.

We might be late this year, next year probably we could have Shiju /
Santhosh / Hisham instead of Brandon on the Sitenotice banner :D ;) ;)

delivering a talk. Cant wait to to hear your words.

IMO, I think it would be nice, if your talk focuses on the future of
India/Indians in the wikimedia movement.. You might also consider talking
on how people can contribute to improve Wikipedia's presence among the
strong and culturally inclined Indian community.

Open for suggestions.

Thanks,
Ade.

Congratulations, Hisham. I know this has been a lot of work for you

There's tons of work to do. :-)

[Wikimediaindia-l] [Press]: DNA : "Will young India take to editing Wikipedia?"

2011-11-11 Thread CherianTinu Abraham 
*Will young India take to editing Wikipedia?"*
http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report_will-young-india-take-to-editing-wikipedia_1611239
http://epaper.dnaindia.com/epaperpdf/12112011/11main%20edition-pg7-0.pdf (
The print version is a must see)

*At the age of 10, Srikant Kedia began inserting his name into Wikipedia
articles as a prank, leading to several of his accounts being blocked.
However, a year ago, Kedia turned into a serious Wikipedian after finding
that he could make contributions to Wikipedia in Oriya — his first
language. “Now, I am part of the sum of all human knowledge,” gushed the
18-year-old college student from Cuttack.*
*
*
*At the upcoming WikiConference in Mumbai, Wikipedians from across the
country will come together to chart out an action plan for the future of
the user-generated online encyclopaedia in India. And they hope that the
youth will play a major role.*
*
*
*Computer savvy, with plenty of time on their hands and a direct
involvement in the sphere of knowledge and education, students are ideal
candidates for a project like Wikipedia, which is completely
volunteer-driven.*
*
*
*Srikant Ramakrishnan, a 19-year-old computer science student in
Coimbatore, began editing on Wikipedia when he was 13. He now has 10,000
edits on English Wikipedia.*
*
*
*With endless access to knowledge that is constantly evolving and the
thrill of contributing to something that will be of use to others, these
bright youngsters have discovered that Wikipedia can be just as addictive
as Facebook. Take the case of Surya Prakash, 18, the youngest administrator
on Tamil Wikipedia. He admits to spending most of his holidays and free
time at his campus browsing centre. Instead of status updates, he borrows
his friends’ laptops to make an urgent edit or to update pages. And in
Kozhikode, Kerala, Netha Hussain, a 20-year-old medical student, likes
chatting with her friends as they make improvements on the same Wikipedia
article and compare notes.*
*
*
*But what would drive a young person to contribute to something that is
anonymous in nature and with no monetary gain? “Wikipedia has helped me
understand concepts in medicine. Whenever I notice an insufficiency in a
medicine-related article, I look up authentic websites/books and edit that
article. So I’m learning while editing,” said Hussain.*
*
*
*Prakash, who did his schooling in Tamil, said, “Having conversations with
foreigners has helped me develop my English. I’ve learned how to write
professionally. I have also picked up skills on how to convince and bargain
with people,” he said, referring to the extensive dialogue that goes on in
the back-end of every Wikipedia page whenever an addition or edit is
brought to question.*
