Bug #: 32747
Summary: "wikimedia-in-eng" - Mailing list for co-ordination of
Indian Wikipedians / WPs wokring on India related
content on English Wikipedia & other Eng Wikimedia
projects
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: critical

This is to request a new mailing list for "wikimedia-in-eng"
Indian Wikipedians / Global Wikipedians wokring on India related content on
English Wikipedia, is a larger community by itself.
While wikimediaindia-l is the main mailing list of Wikimedia Community in
India, a larger discussion of English Wikipedia/ns in India or WikiProject
India on en.wiki is out of scope on wikimediaindia-l and its subscribers.
While most of the Indian language Wikipedias have their separate mailing lists,
co-ordination & collaboration among the Indian Wikimedians contributing to
English Wikipedia has become the most difficult. English Wikipedia mailing list
"wikien-l" is too boarder scope of discussing them.
In this context, there have been large number of requests for creating a
mailing list for Indian Wikipedians / Global Wikipedians wokring on India
related content on English Wikipedia.
We are aware that we have "too many lists", but that is expected as the
communities grows in size and creation of separate lists is justified as long
as we have enough activity on/around it. We believe, India-related content and
community of Indian Wikipedians on English Wikipedia is as equally important to
grow as Indic language Wikipedias.
The other reason is to reduce en.wiki related noise on the primary community
list of wikimediaindia-l, which doesnt make sense for many of its subscribers.
We would like to clarify.
1) wikimediaindia-l remains the the most important mailing list and primary
platform for the Wikimedia India community to interact each other.
2) This new mailing list is not for replacing on-wiki discussions.
We have put this proposal on wikimediaindia-l ( India community list) which
largely echoed the support and a consensus was reached to go ahead with the
filing of this request.
Some of the discussion & support on the list
