Dear Friends at Wiki,
Thanks to the efforts of Dhavalbhai that I could join in the session - not
on behalf of any organisation, but on my own.
It was nice to discuss about a few points, that is, about Writing
guidelines. We talked about issues, language, the content should be "to the
point" rather than using ornamental language.
It would be nice to have these sessions, fortnightly or monthly, depending
on convenience, feasibility..
For future, maybe an agenda is framed beforehand, prior to the meeting, and
circulated, so that everyone is aware of it.
Dhavalbhai, thank you, once again. Sorry for the delay in replying, as I
was unwell.
Happy 2012 to everyone!

Hello Friends,
We had our very first successful online session this morning. I must thank
Roopalben (on behalf of Gujarati Sahitya Parishad) for joining it despite
of her prior social commitment, which she had to postponed just for this
session.
I had confirmation of 5 users and was expecting a couple of more old wines
to join, but only one user joined and one apologised through email for not
being able to join due to power failure.
We discussed a couple of issues in the session and it was very useful. I
will like Roopalben to share her experience here, what she thought about it
and whether it was really useful from her perspective.
I would like these sessions to be made regular, at least fortnightly. As
there was not much attendance this morning, I assume it was not a right
time to have the session. If so, and you want to suggest a different
time/day/frequency, please don't be shy and drop a line to me or leave your
comments on the discussion on Wikipedia Chotaro. This is for the benefit of
community and for the benefit of Gujarati Wikipedia.
Looking forward to your active participation.
Yours,
Dhaval S. Vyas

Hi ,
In case you haven't seen this : Wikimedia Traffic Analysis Reports
*Wikipedia Page Views Per Country* - Overview
http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportPageViewsPerCountryO…
Only 1.9 % of traffic for Wikimedia Projects is from India. ( 13th
position)
*Page Views Per Wikipedia Language*
http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportPageViewsPerLanguage…
>From India :
English (en) - 3.7 %
Simple English (simple) - 5.9 %
Hindi (hi) - 86.5 %
Tamil (ta) - 60.5 %
Malayalam (ml) - 66.3 %
Telugu (te) - 79.5 %
Bengali (bn) - 17 %
Urdu (ur) -6.1
Kannada (kn) - 79.3 %
Gujarati (gu) - 76.1 %

This also gives some idea of where the traffic to Indic language Wikipedias
are coming from.
Stats of some of Indic languages like Bhojpuri, Bishnupriya Manipuri
, Kashmiri ,Sindhi are missing though.
*Page Edits Per Wikipedia Languages*

>From India :
English (en) -3.5 %
Tamil (ta) - 51.3 %
Persian (fa) -0.9 %

Wishes if it included more of Indian languages.

*DNA : "Wikimedia Commons to feature more of Ahmedabad"*
http://epaper.dnaindia.com/epapermain.aspx?pgNo=4&edcode=1310005&eddate=201…http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report_wikimedia-commons-to-feature-more-of-a…
*Members of Wikipedia's Wikimedia Commons (a repository of free images,
sound and other multimedia files which may be used in other projects on the
Wikimedia servers) will move around in Ahmedabad on January 3 from 8.30am
to 1pm clicking pictures of prominent places of the city and will upload
them on the internet through Creative Commons Licenses.*
*
*
*Explaining this, treasurer, Wikimedia India, Anirudh Bhati, informed that
under the aegis of this license, pictorial facts about the city will be
available to users free of cost. "The license is called, 'Creative Commons
Attribution - Sharealike License' and under this licensing certificate, we
can release to media in a manner that can be used for commercial and
non-commercial purposes without any royalty. Even now people make use of
pictures without paying royalty, but that is unethical", Bhati said.*
*
*
*Currently, pictures and matter available online are copyright of authors.
However, this licence will help end users to download pictures and also
modify them as per their requirements, without explicit permission of the
authors, Bhati said.*
*
*
*"By the release of creative works, free of cost, we are trying to create
culture and environment which is free."*
*
*
*"For this purpose, on January 3, nearly 230 people will gather outside
Gandhi Ashram. We will divide the group into four teams and will coordinate
accordingly. These pictures will then be uploaded in Wikimedia Commons and
will be made available to all Wikipedias", Bhati informed. Noopur
Raval,another member of Wikimedia India, said: "This will help us
place Ahmedabad
city on the global world."*
