Dear all, <br><br>I am back in Delhi and still cherishing the time I spent with you guys in Guwahati. The tenth anniversary celebrations were fabulous and getting 60 participants for an Indian language Wikipedia meet up is extraordinary! Just wanted to share a couple of suggestions with you all. These are things we should do quickly before the energy and enthusiasm dies out. <br>
<ul><li>We should send out one mail to all those email IDs welcoming them to Assamese Wikipedia and ask them to keep editing. In that mail, we can mention the Facebook group link to Assam Wiki group also. They can connect with us there. 60 people is a big number, let&#39;s not lose them guys!<br>
</li></ul><br><ul><li>As I spoke to you earlier about using Assam Wiki Facebook group to do small editing sessions, we should start those sessions from today itself if possible. Here is a comprehensive <a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/India_Program/Pilot_Designs/Social_Media#Process">20 point guideline</a> that we&#39;ve prepared. I hope this helps you out. To start with, maybe you can start doing editing hours for Wikiproject: Districts of Assam.  </li>
<ul><li><b>Example</b>: <i>&quot;Hey friends, we have started the new Wikiproject: Districts of Assam. Which district are you from? I am from Tinsukia. Here is the article on Tinsukia &lt;insert link&gt;. This article needs more information! Who all are from Tinsukia? Reply here and we can make our district article good!&quot;</i>  </li>
</ul></ul><p><br></p><ul><li>The Districts of Assam project can create a sense of competition and make people work faster to write their district article. We should do it like a fun competition on Facebook group. Post one district everyday. Don&#39;t forget to tag some new members and your friends in that post! :-)<br>
</li></ul><p><br></p><ul><li>We also spoke about doing outreach programs in our own cities. You can also post this on Fb group:</li><ul><li> &quot;<i>Hey friends! We are bringing Wikipedia to your city! Do you study in a college or work in a company? Do you want us to conduct a Wiki workshop for you? Reply here and let&#39;s contribute to Assamese Wikipedia!&quot; <br>
</i></li></ul></ul><p><br></p><ul><li>Please post all these messages in <b>Assamese only. </b>Also, can we start posting the same message on some &quot;Assamese language group&quot; or &quot;Assam community&quot; group also? That will bring us new members. Gitartha has already volunteered to start posting these messages. Anybody else interested in taking up the responsibility for posting on Fb group? <br>
</li></ul><p><br></p><p>I am writing a blog post on my experience of the celebrations in Assam. Till then, let&#39;s get the social media and Wikiproject started in full steam! :) Please feel free to ask me any questions. <br>
