- If your activities include the use of paid online tools, please describe what tools these are and how you intend to use them.
- Google meet
- Do your activities include the translation of materials, and if so, in what languages will the translation be done? Please include details of those responsible for making the translations.
- The translation will only be done in the Odia Language. POCs are Sangram : ssgapu22@gmail.com, Chinmayee : chinumishra70@gmail.com and Gyan : gyana111@gmail.com

- The Odia community along with many others in the region needs this project significantly. Being a small community, there are several obstacles, including misunderstandings, language issues, and lack of awareness. This project is a good effort to better comprehend and participate in the Movement Charter Drafting Committee work. We are attempting to mainstream the Wiki movement by integrating the Odia community.
Outcomes[edit]
After your activities are complete, we would like to understand the draft implementation plan for your community. You will be required to prepare a document detailing this plan around a movement strategy initiative. This report can be prepared through Meta-wiki using the Share your results button on this page. The report can be prepared in your language, and is not required to be written in English.
In this report, you will be asked to:
- Provide a link to the draft implementation plan document or Wikimedia page
- Describe what activities supported the development of the plan
- Describe how and where you have communicated your plan to relevant communities.
- Report on how your funding was spent
Your draft implementation plan document should address the following questions clearly:
- What movement strategy initiative or goal are you addressing?
- What activities will you be doing to address that initiative?
- What do you expect will happen as a result of your activities? How do those outcomes address the movement strategy initiative?
- How will you measure or evaluate your activities? What tools or methods will you use to evaluate your activities?
To create a draft implementation plan, we recommend the use of a logic model, which will help you and your team think about goals, activities, outcomes, and other factors in an organized way. Please refer the following resources to develop a logic model:
- Overview of logic models on Meta-wiki
- Example logic models for reference for other movement activities (such as partnerships and edit-a-thons)
