Hello Dhaval,
Thank you for your email and your suggestions.
There seem to be 2 questions here:
1) Project Tiger Community Consultation: and 2) Gujarati Wikisource
community consultation.
I'll try to answer your questions.
1) Project Tiger Community Consultation: You know Project Tiger (PT)
community consultation 1.0 ended some time ago, and you may also know from
Wikimedia Foundation/Google or from some other social media post that the
next iteration of Project may be started sometime this year, probably in a
few months.
The consulltation is planned as a colcluding event of Project Tiger 1.0
with an objective of gathering feedback, experiences (may be in form of
presentations), meet and greet PT contributors, brainstorming etc. The
planning part started early, in the beginning of January, and at that same
time we talked to WMF PT team, and who discussed with Google. We are doing
ground-work on this. We'd like to conduct this event in a good way.
2) Gujarati community Wikisource meetup: The event is in planning stage.
I remember it being discussed by Gujarati community members over email, and
I know some community members are working on this.
I need a little time to check. I'll check this and get back to you in
next 72 hours/3 days (maximum).
I once again thank you for your email and suggestions.
Thanks
Tito Dutta
Note: If I don't reply to your email in 2 days, please feel free to

Hi All,
Don't know whether it is only me, does anybody else here also feels
that there is a rush in somehow spend money, or should I say blow up money,
or rather "meet the target spend"?
For example this consultation is being planned, there is a Wikisource
meet in Ahmedabad being planned, all at very short notice and without any
substantial groundwork. Any consultation or meet needs a planning of at
least a couple of months, especially if you're targeting pan India
participation. Booking train/flight tickets with just 2-3 weeks notice will
not be expensive?
Could these things not be organised later in the year giving more time
to the communities to consult and organisers to prepare themselves? Or is
it just because there is a 31st March deadline to utilise the budget which
remained unspent till date?
If we do the so called Gujarati Wikisource Meet aka Workshop in 2
weeks, what level of participation are we expecting? What is the expected
outcome?
At least these 2 things certainly make me think that there is sone Rush
in spending money.
Regards,
Dhaval Sudhanva Vyas
