Well, if I am correct Tinucherian does have the email of Mr. Jagjit or Mr. Srinidhi, who represented Google at the December Wikipedia Bangalore Meetup, if we can get these guys to like, sign up for this list, then We're all for it ... On 27 February 2010 21:36, Casey Brown wrote: > On Mon, Feb 2

Umm.. abt the Sanskrit Wiki.. User:Arunram has hosted one Wikipedia academy in Bangalore, and has plans to hold more. The alst one was a success, and several people have been 'inducted' by us into editing Wikipedia.. So I guess, the manpower issue for one Wikipedia is gone eh? :D Regards, On 25 Fe

That probably explains it. I was wondering how you could be so casual about man power to deal with such an event. If you look at our indic wikipedias, We wouldnt see many hands to do the heavy lifting. For some reason, many Indian wikipedians can work in en wiki, but wont really bother to work in t

In Tamil wiki too we're extremely concerned about quality. That's why even GaneshBot was constrained. On this issue, we're keeping an open mind and it's still in a pilot stage. sundar from mobile Jyothis Edathoot wrote: > While we welcome the efforts and contributions, all wikis may not be equ

While we welcome the efforts and contributions, all wikis may not be equipped with enuf active users to handle such a flood. if a flood of low quality articles or translations come by, such projects may take (much) longer to recover and regain the drop of quality. While quantity benefits o

Shiju, Can't we just go ahead normally? If these Google guys make mistakes, we just correct them and go on. If they resist, then explain or warn them? Regards, On 23 February 2010 21:08, Shiju Alex wrote: > There should be proper co-ordination between each language community and > the Google. >

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Coordinating Google translation kit articles

There should be proper co-ordination between each language community and the Google. In Malayalam Wikipedia, we already tried collaborative translation of some English Wiki articles 2 years back. But that was a failure and we dropped that. One of the main issue with word-to-word translation is tha

Hoi, While there may be reasons to wait for Google, there is nothing stopping you to use this time to localise for your language ... As you may have read on my blog, the localisation for mobile MediaWiki is now also complete for Bangla, for Telugu there are four messages left to do. Thanks Gera

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Coordinating Google translation kit articles

Might NOT bea good idea. Google seems to be interested in only their side of the story, and NOT ours. Atleast that's what it sounded like at the Meetup on 20th. We will discuss this [hopefully] on 10th.. 2009/12/25 Ravi shankar > Hi all, > > Following the recent Wiki meet in Bangalore, Sundar (

Hi all, Following the recent Wiki meet in Bangalore, Sundar (Tamil Wikipedian) brought to our notice that Google is contributing to various Indian language Wikis using Google translation kit and paid translators. In Tamil Wiki, we feel a strong need to corordinate / organize this activity andwe
