Forwarding for my colleague Chris Schilling.  His original posting must be
stuck in moderation.  (It's been a few days; does this list need
new/additional admins?)

Subject: What IdeaLab campaigns do you want to see next year?
To: wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org

Hello! I’m seeking your help to decide on topics for new IdeaLab campaigns
that could be run starting next year. These campaigns are designed to
attract proposals from contributors that address a need or problem in
Wikimedia projects. Here’s how to participate:

   - Learn more  about this consultation [1] and review submitted campaign
   topics.[2]


   - Vote on and submit new campaign topics in the AllOurIdeas survey [3]
   (in English)


   - Discuss campaign topics and ask questions on the IdeaLab talk page in
   your language [4], or discuss and propose campaign ideas here on the
   mailing list that we should consider.


With thanks,

Chris Schilling

[Wikimediaindia-l] CIS-A2K November newsletter

[Tito Dutta]

​
Hello,
Centre for Internet and Society’s Access To Knowledge (CIS-A2K) program
would like to share with you the newsletter below for the month of November
2015. We look forward to hear any feedback or input you might have.

Wikimedia communities of four (Kannada, Marathi, Odia and Telugu) out of
the five Focus Language Areas joined for the IRC-based meetings on 29
November 2015 to discuss about the next set of activities for the newly
recruited Programme Associates.

Marathi:
(https://mr.wikipedia.org/wiki/विकिपीडिया:आय.आर.सी._चॅनेल/२९-११-२०१५)
Four Marathi Wikipedians Santosh Dahiwal (User:संतोष दहिवळ),
User:Suyogaerospace and Santosh Shingare (User:Cherishsantosh) along with
Wikimedian and CIS-A2K member Abhinav Garule (User:Abhinavgarule) joined
for the IRC. The discussions were focused on CIS-A2K's work from July 2015
and Marathi Wikipedia work plan (
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CIS-A2K/Work_plan_July_2015_-_June_2016/Marathi).
Wikimedians joined in the discussion proposed for diversifying the outreach
and take it to many other cities and towns apart from the usual places like
Mumbai or Pune. Santosh Dahiwal, administrator of Marathi Wikipedia
appreciated encouraged to keep posting about every Marathi Wikipedia
community activity and invite for various activities organized in different
places.

Kannada:
(https://kn.wikipedia.org/wiki/ವಿಕಿಪೀಡಿಯ:ಸಮ್ಮಿಲನ/೨೦)
Thanks to the seven Kannada Wikimedians User:Omshivaprakash, Deepu, Yogesh
(User:Yogesh), Vishwa, User:M G Harish along with CIS-A2K team members
Anant (User:Ananth subray), Pavanaja (User:Pavanaja) who participated in
this meeting to discuss about priorities for the community and how to take
the programmatic works forward with the help of the new Programme
Associate. The community members suggested for more work related
documentation for the community to know about programmatic work by CIS-A2K
e.g. books relicensed and digitized.

Odia:
(https://or.wikipedia.org/wiki/ଉଇକିପିଡ଼ିଆ:IRC/29-11-2015)
Four Odia Wikimedians User:Akala Kushmanda and User:Swagatika91 along with
Sailesh (User:Saileshpat) and Subhashish Panigrahi (User:Psubhashish) who
are part of CIS-A2K program joined in the IRC suggested for creating
monthly offline meetups and online campaigns where the latter could help
recruit new editors from Twitter , Facebook and other social media. They
also emphasized on featuring Wikimedians in local newspapers and websites
so the Wikimedians and other potential Wikimedians would be encouraged to
contribute. There is a potential for the Odia Wikiquote (
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikiquote_Oriya)
which is in Incubator at this moment and there was a request to make it
live. The Wikimedians also suggested for creating more projects for quality
improvement of article. One of the participants of the IRC also showed
interest in supporting outreach in the southern and western part of Odisha.

Telugu:
(
https://te.wikipedia.org/wiki/వికీపీడియా:సమావేశం/వెబ్_ఛాట్/సమావేశం_16/సంభాషణల_చిట్టా
)
Five Telugu Wikimedians JVRK Prasad, Arjuna Rao.C, Sujatha.T., Pranay Raj
Vangari and Viswanadh.B.K. along with CIS-A2K program members Pavan and
Rahim joined in this IRC. Arjuna emphasized on conducting a reader survey
to assess various interest areas for the Telugu Wikipedia. Wikipedians also
shared how important it is to develop a tool that could ease in extracting
text from scanned books using Google OCR so that could be useful for Telugu
Wikisource. Improving quality of Telugu author Sayeed Naseer Ahmad's books
that exist on Wikisource was also discussed. Most of the participants
expressed interest in collaborating for celebrating Telugu Wikipedia Day
and Telugu Wikipedia 12th anniversary. The community members asked to share
the statistics on success of the "how-to" video tutorials that the CIS-A2K
program created for Hindi (
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Learn_to_edit_Hindi_Wikipedia)
and Kannada (
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/category:Learn_to_edit_Kannada_Wikipedia)
so that the Telugu community could assess if the similar tutorial could be
made for Telugu Wikipedia.

== Events ==
⬤ Community discussion for making Tulu Wikipedia live (
http://cis-india.org/openness/news/making-tulu-wikipedia-live): CIS-A2K
Programme Officer Rahmanuddin Shaik visited Mangalore on October 28 and 29
and again on November 5 and 6, 2015. During his visit he interacted with
Wikipedians for making the Tulu Wikipedia live. There were discussions on
translations of system messages that appear on Wikipedia interface,
creating templates pages and adding images. Around 79 strings were
translated on Translatewiki.net, the community project for MediaWiki
localization, and about 500 strings were approved. This event was organised
at Tulu Bhavana, Karnataka Tulu Sahitya Akademy. The director of the
institution was part of the meeting who agreed for relicensing lower
resolution cover pages of their published books and metadata of 157 volumes

Asaf, thanks to you, I got alerted and could support whatever seemed
worthwhile to me in the context of English Wikimedia projects :)
Thanks

[Asaf Bartov]

Thanks, Ashwin!

Manoj, thanks for bringing up this need.  It won't make it into this round
of prioritization, but it can be added to the backlog.  I would happily
create a Phabricator ticket on your behalf, but I need to better understand
the need you describe.  Where would you like to use Indic numerals,
exactly?  In template parameters, for example? (i.e. instead of the 1 and 2
in: {{some_template|1=this|2=that}}?)

Could you give some examples of what you meant?

Thanks,

A.

[Niharika Kohli]

Hi Manoj, 

Unfortunately it’s a little too late to propose new projects in the survey. :( 
Sorry. 

We did publicize the survey on all village pumps and on Wikimedia-l/Wikitech-l. 
Please let us know a better way to publicize the survey next time so that you 
don’t miss it again. We’ll be holding it periodically (every year). 

Thanks.
Niharika

Perhaps related to calc or parser function?

AFAIK, Indian numerals can not be used in calculations

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] reminder: ends in a few hours: Community Tech Wishlist Survey

[omshivaprak...@gmail.com]

Already there is a bug related to this topic here: -
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T21412

For Kannada many template reporting this issue were fixed by applying the
solution mentioned in the thread.

Check the comment by :bzimport
===

As long as {{#time}} supplies you with Kannada digits, you need to use
{{format:KANNADA_INTEGER|R}} (note "R" argument). For example, you can use
this to fix the issue:

{{#ifexpr:{{formatnum:{{#time:t|{{{year|2000}}}-{{{month|jan}|R}}>28|29}}
