[Wikisource-l] Re: Reviving the Wikisource Project Conference - Seeking Volunteers!

[Abhinav srivastava]

Hello,

Thanks for taking this up.

May I propose India as a location for this conference? India has Wikisource
in so many languages and so many others waiting to be. Many volunteers from
India would be happy to support and make this event a success.

Dear Gurlal,

Hope all is well.

Please do not hesitate in asking for any help. I am there and I am sure
many more would be happy to volunteer and assist you in preparing a report.

Re: [Wikisource-l] (no subject)

[Abhinav srivastava]

Hi Bodhisattwa,

I saw these videos last evening, they are actually very nicely done.

I have a very minor concern which I have also posted under the comments
section and reached out to you last evening.

In ‘What just happened’ video, can we drop ’whatsapp’ placed just ahead of
fake news. If possible dubb it to online fake news or simply mute it.

I am not a lawyer and not sure on legal issues. Someone can better reflect
on the matter of taking names of Internet organisation outside our
movement.

When Hindi promotional video was made by WMF, The Hindi community members
on the table  made a common consensus on not taking names.

Again, it could be a very minor issue and may not hold much relevance.
