Hi Assamese Wikisource Community,
As COVID-19 has forced the Wikimedia communities to stay at home and like
many other affiliates, CIS-A2K has decided to suspend all offline
activities till 15th September 2020 (or till further notice).I present to
you for an online training session for future coming months.
1. Wikisource Skill Share,[1] a capacity-building initiative, where Indic
Wikisource contributors, both newcomers and experienced, can share
knowledge and skills with each other and clear confusions. Most of the
time, it will be done online on 1:1 basis, so it is just the right time to
participate there if you have not planned to do it or done it already.
Let's learn Wikisource together! I would like to invite experienced Indic
Wikisource contributors and sign your name at Willing to respond section
[2]. Newcomer or any Indic Wikisource contributors are welcome to join the
session with your queries and doubts.
2. Intensive Personalized Training (or IPT),[3] this also a
capacity-building initiative, where Indic Wikisource contributors,
especially newcomers could come with his/her queries and doubts. I, myself
will share my knowledge and skills with each contributor and clear
confusions. It will be done online on a 1:1 basis, so it is just the right
time to participate there if you have not planned to do so.
3. Online Proofread-edithon for all 12 Indic Wikisource language projects.
We are planning for an indic level online proofreadthon from 1 May 2020 to
10 May 2020. The book of the subject will be the classical literature of
your languages. We’ll share details about this in a separate email in a
couple of days.
Regards,
Jayanta Nath

Subject: [WikiConference India 2020] Community Engagement Survey
To: Wikimedia India Community list <wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hello everyone,
I hope everyone is doing great.
I am writing this email to invite you all to participate in the Community
Engagement Survey for WikiConference India 2020. The Community Engagement
Survey is one of the key requirements for drafting the Conference & Event
Grant application for the Wikimedia Foundation.
The survey will have questions regarding a few demographic details, your
experience with Wikimedia, challenges and needs, and your expectations for
WCI 2020. The responses will help us to form an initial idea of what is
expected out of WCI 2020, and draft the grant application accordingly.
Please note that this will not directly influence the specificities of the
program, there will be a detailed survey to assess the program needs after
funding.
Please fill the survey at; https://forms.gle/YkA9UfcbXo3c637M6. The survey
will be open until 23:59 hrs of 22 December 2019.
Please pass on this message to your community mailing lists, and it would
be great if you post on the Village Pumps of your local Wikis. Looking
forward to all of your active participation.
Let me know if there are any questions.
Best wishes,
Pavan Santhosh.

Hello,
I am Sejal Khatri. I am a graduate student at the University of Washington
and have worked as an engineer on the Wikipedia Programs and Events
Dashboard Tool. I am planning a research study to understand Indic-language
communities. This study will help us understand community needs and
facilitate further development measures!
I am currently in the process of recruiting Wikipedians from 'mr' Wikipedia
for an interview study. If you agree to be in the study, you will
participate in an interview with a researcher which should last between 60
and 90 minutes and will be conducted remotely via voice or video chat or
in-person at a location of your preference.
In exchange for your participation, you will receive a ₹1430 gift card.
Please fill this form if interested: https://forms.gle/pSQrNFQfAHtzekuC9

Hello everyone,
We have a few updates regarding the WikiConference India 2020 proposal for
Hyderabad. Initial conversations around the proposal of conducting Wiki
Conference India 2020 in Hyderabad were started in earlier this month in
several Indian wikimedia spaces (Wikimedia India-l mailing list, Meta-Wiki,
and, several Indian language Wikipedias village pumps).
Firstly, we are happy to share the news that there has been a very good
positive response from individual Wikimedians[1]. Also there have
community-wide discussions on local Village Pumps on various languages.
Several of these discussions have reached consensus[2], and are supporting
this idea.
We will be engaging with more communities this week, and clear any
concerns/doubts people may have during this week. Also to wrap up these
discussions and conclude, we would like to call for IRC.
Details of IRC:
* Timings and Date: 6:00 pm on 20 November 2019
* Website: https://webchat.freenode.net/
* Channel: #wci
Looking forward for all your active participation.
Thanks & Regards,
Pavan Santhosh.
