Initial discussions led to virtual sessions featuring speakers from the other Indic Wikimedia Communities, highlighting challenges faced by the community.

Key speakers included Program Director of CIS-A2K, who emphasized the value of in-person meetings for networking and idea exchange. Multilingual communication was prioritized, with sessions conducted in Santali, Hindi, and English, supported by translation services. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Santali_Wiki_Conference_2024.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ec/Santali_Wiki_Conference_2024.svg/220px-Santali_Wiki_Conference_2024.svg.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="174" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ec/Santali_Wiki_Conference_2024.svg/330px-Santali_Wiki_Conference_2024.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ec/Santali_Wiki_Conference_2024.svg/440px-Santali_Wiki_Conference_2024.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="256" data-file-height="202" /></a><figcaption>Santali Wiki Conference 2024</figcaption></figure> <p>Day one included various sessions covering topics such as challenges faced by Santali Wikipedia, multimedia content sharing through Wikimedia Commons, and digitization efforts for the Santali language.

Launched in January 2023, this initiative aims to digitize and make accessible the rich cultural heritage of Meghalaya's Khasi, Jaintia, and Garo communities. By collaborating with local organizations like the Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama Sohra, Jeebon Roy Memorial Trust Library in Shillong and Vintage Museum in Sohra, the project seeks to ensure that valuable cultural resources—such as manuscripts, books, and audio files—are freely available on Wikimedia platforms. </p><p>In an era characterized by rampant misinformation, this project becomes particularly relevant. It aims to improve verifiable and reliable reference materials that enhance the quality of online content, particularly in under represented languages. The Wikimedia movement envisions a world where everyone has free access to the sum of all human knowledge. Through projects like Wikipedia, Wikisource, and Wikimedia Commons, it has fostered a global community of volunteers dedicated to this vision. This initiative not only aligns with that mission but also strengthens partnerships with local institutions to document indigenous culture accurately. As of September 2024, approximately 20,000 pages have been digitized, with 5,426 pages (41 books) uploaded onto Wikimedia Commons. Out of these 28 rare books are in Khasi language. A total of 337 photos and 25 videos have been documented and shared online. Skill training has been provided to 24 volunteers, enhancing local capacity for ongoing cultural documentation. </p><p>By training local volunteers in digital skills and engaging them in knowledge creation, the project empowers communities to contribute actively to the global knowledge ecosystem.

The event saw 40 participants engage in discussions on various topics related to digital knowledge sharing and preservation. The session emphasized the importance of Unicode for encoding languages like Marathi, explored online publishing platforms, and highlighted the significance of open access initiatives such as Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. Participants learned about copyright laws and Creative Commons licenses, discussed strategies for contributing to Wikimedia projects, and examined major campaigns aimed at increasing representation of marginalized groups. The event also covered the need for relicensing content and digitization of historical texts, along with the availability of e-books and audiobooks on Wikisource. Best practices for digital archiving were shared, focusing on metadata standards, user accessibility, and community engagement. Overall, the session aimed to enhance understanding of digital resources for the Marathi language while promoting open knowledge ideals. Follow-up online sessions are planned for members interested in digitization and editing Wikimedia projects, with a digitization workshop scheduled for November 2024 at the Lokmanya library. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="CIS-A2K’s_Multi-Year_Grant_Proposal" data-mw-thread-id="h-CIS-A2K’s_Multi-Year_Grant_Proposal-Monthly_Recap"><span id="CIS-A2K.E2.80.99s_Multi-Year_Grant_Proposal"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-CIS-A2K’s_Multi-Year_Grant_Proposal-Monthly_Recap"></span>CIS-A2K’s Multi-Year Grant Proposal<span data-mw-comment-end="h-CIS-A2K’s_Multi-Year_Grant_Proposal-Monthly_Recap"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=CIS-A2K/Reports/Newsletter/September_2024&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: CIS-A2K’s Multi-Year Grant Proposal"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Last month, CIS-A2K submitted the Multi-year grant proposal for the purview of the South Asia Regional Grants Committee for the years 2025-28. </p><p>A2K has dedicated the past decade to supporting Indic Wikimedia communities through leadership development, partnerships, outreach, and diversity initiatives, adapting to the evolving challenges faced by underrepresented groups in the open knowledge space. In our Year 1 proposal, we aim to create systemic changes in how cultural and educational institutions engage with Wikimedia through initiatives like Living GLAM, museum digitization, and training programs such as Train-the-Trainer (TTT) workshops and Wiki Camps. Our 2024-2027 strategic plan emphasizes investing in technology to enhance the growth of Indic and Global Majority communities, focusing on tools for content creation, secure data management, and innovative engagement methods. </p><p>In Years 2 and 3, we will scale up our efforts through platforms like WikiConference India 2025 and the Future of the Commons, fostering collaboration and community building. These initiatives aim to deepen our support for the Indic Wikimedia movement and contribute to a more equitable and sustainable knowledge landscape. </p><p>Our Year 1 plan combines ongoing core activities with ambitious new initiatives designed to drive systemic change and expand capacity in key areas. Initiatives like Living GLAM will redefine the cultural and heritage sector in India by empowering local institutions to curate and share their stories, addressing the underrepresentation of Global South narratives in global knowledge platforms. The Technology Advocacy initiative focuses on enhancing technical support for Wikimedia projects, particularly for Global Majority communities, addressing disparities in technological infrastructure and access. </p><p>We aim to shift from simple content re-licensing to building comprehensive documentation and forming new data partnerships to bridge the information gap in the Global South. Targeted Capacity-building programs like TTT workshops and WikiCamps will develop problem-solving skills and resource-generation capabilities, enhancing community resilience. Through events like WikiConference India 2025 and the Future of the Commons, we will foster cross-community collaboration and knowledge sharing. Core activities will continue to promote diversity, inclusion, and community support, ensuring sustained growth and active participation across Wikimedia communities. </p><p>For more information, please refer to our proposal “<a href="/wiki/Grants:Programs/Wikimedia_Community_Fund/General_Support_Fund/Deepening_the_impact_of_Open_Knowledge_projects_for_sustainable_Knowledge_practices_across_Indian_language_communities_steered_by_Access_to_Knowledge,_Centre_for_Internet_and_Society" title="Grants:Programs/Wikimedia Community Fund/General Support Fund/Deepening the impact of Open Knowledge projects for sustainable Knowledge practices across Indian language communities steered by Access to Knowledge, Centre for Internet and Society">Deepening the impact of Open Knowledge projects for sustainable Knowledge practices across Indian language communities steered by Access to Knowledge, Centre for Internet and Society</a>” at Meta. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Supporting_the_volunteer-led_committee_on_WikiConference_India_2025" data-mw-thread-id="h-Supporting_the_volunteer-led_committee_on_WikiConference_India_2025-Monthly_Recap"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Supporting_the_volunteer-led_committee_on_WikiConference_India_2025-Monthly_Recap"></span>Supporting the volunteer-led committee on WikiConference India 2025<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Supporting_the_volunteer-led_committee_on_WikiConference_India_2025-Monthly_Recap"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=CIS-A2K/Reports/Newsletter/September_2024&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Supporting the volunteer-led committee on WikiConference India 2025"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>CIS-A2K, as committed during the community consultation process led by the former Core organizing committee of Wiki Conference India, continues its support for the planning of WikiConference India 2025. <a href="/wiki/Grants:Programs/Wikimedia_Community_Fund/Conference_Fund/WikiConference_India_2025" title="Grants:Programs/Wikimedia Community Fund/Conference Fund/WikiConference India 2025">The proposal for WCI 2025</a> was submitted to honour the funding deadline in collaboration with interested community members. <a href="/wiki/Wiki_Conference_India_2025:_Preparatory_and_consultation_calls" class="mw-redirect" title="Wiki Conference India 2025: Preparatory and consultation calls">Multiple consultation and planning calls</a> were organized, along with a survey distributed to collect input from a wider range of community members.
