Outreach
தொகு- professional video tutorials in Indian languages
We have requested funds for camera equipment. Although this may not be professional, it could be a start. Based on feedback etc. we could go for professional video budget if required in 2015. AroundTheGlobe (பேச்சு) 06:35, 24 செப்டம்பர் 2013 (UTC)
- creation of brochures and posters for colleges
This is a budget for 2000 brochures this year and next year. Although its not a high amount and will probably have to be distributed among many languages. AroundTheGlobe (பேச்சு) 06:35, 24 செப்டம்பர் 2013 (UTC)
- a dedicated staff member for outreach
We will post the proposed job spec of the proposed new employees. This is covered. AroundTheGlobe (பேச்சு) 06:35, 24 செப்டம்பர் 2013 (UTC)

Community/Volunteer Development
தொகு- internship with a stipend similar to GSoC program
It has been considered in the past. We did not add it to the budget specifically, but there is a proposal to use part of the GLAM budget to hire interns in summer months for GLAM activities. That would be one of the two proposed projects with a INR 125000 budget. AroundTheGlobe (பேச்சு) 06:40, 24 செப்டம்பர் 2013 (UTC)
- corpus for scanner, cameras, and some computing resources for volunteers
We have requested for camera equipement and netbooks. A multi-purpose printer/scanner is also in the budget but more for office use than industrial use that we would need for digitisation. Digitisation does have a separate budget though. AroundTheGlobe (பேச்சு) 06:40, 24 செப்டம்பர் 2013 (UTC)
- travel support for networking among wikipedians in different places (4 times a year)
While there is no "travel support" budget so to say, there is support for event travel. Will try to add travel support as well, but cannot promise at the moment. AroundTheGlobe (பேச்சு) 06:40, 24 செப்டம்பர் 2013 (UTC)
Training
தொகு- tutorial sessions and webinars for basic computing, image processing, article writing, improving language skills, researching for references, copyright education for wikipedians with various levels of experience
We aim to have a conference room facility in our office where such sessions can be conducted. Though this is Bangalore specific, we would encourage all communities to use the facility. It is aimed to be a "community area". AroundTheGlobe (பேச்சு) 06:43, 24 செப்டம்பர் 2013 (UTC)
- there are style guides for Tamil from language bodies which can be supplied to some wikipedians
Possibly an innovative project? AroundTheGlobe (பேச்சு) 06:43, 24 செப்டம்பர் 2013 (UTC)
Facilitating Contribution
தொகு- collaborate with organisations that work for free or cheap internet access
Once again, it would be made available at our office in Bangalore - a 100mbps connection aimed to support editathons etc. If there is any way of supporting in other cities without having our own office, do let us know how and will try to support. AroundTheGlobe (பேச்சு) 06:45, 24 செப்டம்பர் 2013 (UTC)
- work on large projects to improve computer literacy among subject experts like professors
One of Sowmyans new job specs is engaging with Universities etc. AroundTheGlobe (பேச்சு) 06:45, 24 செப்டம்பர் 2013 (UTC)
Content Development
தொகு- contests where they have shown to have worked
- Tamil typing contests
- Wikidata for Tamil Wikipedia and other Indian Wikipedias
Wiki Loves India would cover this? It isnt language or area specific. AroundTheGlobe (பேச்சு) 06:47, 24 செப்டம்பர் 2013 (UTC)
- Develop tools to extract data about books, movies, events, etc so the data will be structured and linked; this can be used in multiple platforms/projects and would eliminate redundant work
- Integrated and Universal Database and repository of All Indian Knowledge-ware
All this would again come under innovative projects? AroundTheGlobe (பேச்சு) 06:47, 24 செப்டம்பர் 2013 (UTC)
Publications
தொகு- CDs and DVDs
We have conciously stayed away from this as the chapter would be legally liable for content distributed. It is not a risk we are willing to undertake. AroundTheGlobe (பேச்சு) 06:49, 24 செப்டம்பர் 2013 (UTC)
- printed manuals
Part of the budget. AroundTheGlobe (பேச்சு) 06:49, 24 செப்டம்பர் 2013 (UTC)
- pamphlets
Part of the budget. AroundTheGlobe (பேச்சு) 06:49, 24 செப்டம்பர் 2013 (UTC)
- an Indian Wikimedia press to release quarterly magazines or printed books of selected wiki articles
Possibly the new employee proposed who is to work on PR could do this. Would suggest you engage with the person once hired. AroundTheGlobe (பேச்சு) 06:49, 24 செப்டம்பர் 2013 (UTC)
Language Tools
தொகு- Support research projects involved in making futuristic tool
- For example, machine translation between Indian languages and make them available under open source licences. Some Machine Translation tools among Indian languages are available in university labs.
