CIS-A2K Budget, Utilization Report and proposed revision

Dear All,

In our effort to increase transparency with the working of CIS-A2K
programme, we are sharing with you the A2K Programme Budget along with the
Utilization for the period Sept. 2012 to February 2013 [1]. We intended to
share this with you by mid April, but it got delayed, as we felt the need
to propose revisions to the budget in the context of the A2K Work Plans.
Apologies for this delay.

The proposed revisions to the budget along with some notes are here [2]. We
would appreciate your feedback and suggestions on this. Based on the
feedback received from you, we will approach the Wikimedia Foundation
seeking for approval of the revised budget. It will be very useful to hear
from you on the proposed revisions to the A2K grant budget before May 20,
2013.

Looking forward to your feedback.

Warmly,
Vishnu
Programme Director

حذف تصاویر

اردو وکیپیڈیا پر ایک صاحب دھڑا دھڑ تصاویر حذف کر رہے
ہیں۔ اگر کوئی تصویر آپ
نے زیر اثقال کی ہے اور اس کے حقوق ایسے ہیں کہ وکیپیڈیا کے
ضابطہ کے اندر
رہتے ہوئے ان کا استعمال کا جواز بنتا ہو تو براہ کرم اس طرف
توجہ دیں۔ صرف
حقوق کا سانچہ نہ ہونے کی وجہ سے تصویر قابل حذف نہیں ہو
جاتی۔ وکیپیڈیا کے
منتظمیں سے التماس ہے کہ وکیپیڈیا پر نظر رکھیں۔

وکیپیڈیا سال 2013ء

2013ء نئے سال کی سب احباب کو مبارک۔ اردو وکیپیڈیا پر نئے
ساتھیوں کے آنے سے
اور کچھ پرانے ساتھیوں کی مدد سے تدوینی کام بڑی تیزی سے ہو
رہا ہے، جس میں
وکیپیڈیا کی رنگ و روپ میں تبدیلی، جاوا سکرپٹ کی مدد سے
نئی سہولتیں، اور
زمرہ بندی شامل ہیں۔  لیکن اصل مضامین لکھنے کا کام اب بھی
سست ہے کہ لکھنے
والے کم ہیں۔  اس کے علاوہ  وہ لوگ  جن کا وکیپیڈیا  کو یہاں تک
پہنچانے  کا
اعزاز ہے اور جہنوں نے اردد وکیپیڈیا کو انگریزی زدہ ہونے
سے بچا کر رکھا ہے
اب وکیپیڈیا کو وقت نہیں دے پا رہے۔ اگرچہ روزانہ تاریخہ
دیکھنے پر کافی
تبدیلیاں نظر آتی ہیں مگر اس میں اصل مواد  ی اضافہ کم ہی
ہوتا ہے۔  جو احباب
وکیپیِڈیا پر لکھنے کی صلاحیت رکھتے ہیں، یا انگریزی
وکیپیڈیا سے اردو میں
ترجمہ کرنے  میں مدد دے سکتے ہیں، ان سے درخواست ہے کہ چاہے
ہفتہ میں ایک نیا
مضمون ہی لکھ سکیں، براہ کرم  وکیپیڈیا سے مواد میں اضافہ
کرنے کی وابستگی
جاری رکھہیں۔

Fwd: [Blog]: Postcard from the Tamil Community

*FYI. Sorry for cross posting. *

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Noopur Raval <nraval@...>
Date: Tue, Apr 17, 2012 at 11:57 AM
Subject: [Blog]: Postcard from the Tamil Community
To: Wikimedia India Community list <wikimediaindia-l@...>

Hey folks,

The Tamil Wikimedia Contest organized by User: Sodabottle and other members
of the Tamil community recently got over. As you are all aware, it
generated over 15,000 media files and got over 250 new contributors to
Commons. A detailed report was published at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Tamil_Wikimedians/TamilWiki_Media_Contest/Report

There's also a blog post that we've been working on that takes a peek at
TWMC behind the scenes with inputs from the organizing team. It might be
really useful to any community planning to conduct a similar events in
future. You can read the post here:
http://blog.wikimedia.in/2012/04/17/postcard-from-the-tamil-community/.
It's a great story of how an off-the-cuff conversation between 2 editors
resulted in a massive community wide initiative - with participation of the
Tamil community (and other communities) from across the world, the kind of
intense efforts, the use of technology enablers and last - and most
certainly not the least - some fantastic images (a sample of which can be
seen at http://www.tawp.in/r/33zx)  - which have now been used to create or
improve articles (6122 on Tamil Wiktionary, 1659 on Tamil Wikipedia and
more).

Announcing Noopur Raval as Consultant, Wikimedia Foundation (India Program, Communications)

cross-posting to reach pan-community; apologies if you have already read this from another list.

Dear All,

I am pleased to announce that Noopur Raval ([User:Noopur28] has been selected as Consultant to the
Wikimedia Foundation, and will support Communications for India Program.  

This position will perform 4 key functions.  Firstly, it will support communications with our community. 
This involves a regular set of updates (such as newsletters) as well as specific communication projects
such as story-telling of local community initiatives (to document experiences, celebrate successes
and cross-pollinate ideas.)  This is not for day-to-day program communications - which is a core part of
each of our responsibilities in the India Program team.  Second will be to support media & PR for local
community initiatives.  The single biggest challenge here will to be get more Indic language media
coverage to support community building efforts. This will be done directly with community members and
also in co-ordination with the India Chapter's Communications Media & PR team.  T
 he third aspect is to build and expand existing community social networks (such as WikimediaIndia on
facebook) and to help with the use of social networks to support community building.  Lastly, there is
untapped potential of using digital outreach - to augment existing physical outreach efforts.  We need to
(very, very carefully) explore if we can reach out to our large and growing reader base and inform,
encourage and enable them to become editors using online channels and resources.

Noopur is a community member and has supported outreach activities (in Ahmedabad & Delhi), is a member of
Delhi SIG of the Chapter, has participated in community collaborations like Collaboration of the Month
and has been actively trying to start GLAM in India.  

Noopur is from Gandhinagar and is graduating from JNU with a Master's in Arts & Aesthetics.  She has a triple
honors Bachelor's in Media Studies, Literature and Psychology from Christ College, Bangalore.  She has
interned with Radio Mirchi, Times of India and the Centre for Internet & Society (amongst others) - as well
as done some teaching assignments.  She is an active blogger (including for the India Art Summit, 2011.)
She has published a novella and co-authored an anthology of poems, plays & short stories and has

*that are derived not only from this data but directly from community
