Project scope[edit]

Wikimedia-Lontar for Indonesian writers is a collaboration between Wikimedia Indonesia and The Lontar Foundation to improve the biographies of Indonesian writers on the Indonesian and English Wikipedias.
Lontar Foundation has committed to make the articles on Indonesian writers available as widely as possible, in both Indonesian and English, in accordance with Wikimedia Indonesia's goal of promoting "free knowledge" in Indonesian and other languages.

In this joint collaboration agreement, Wikimedia Indonesia's contribution is to provide coaches for the participants (Lontar Foundation employees) so that articles written for this project are up to the standards for biographies, on both the Indonesian and English Wikipedias. The Lontar Foundation will provide a training facility as in kind contribution well as participants; the participants will be trained for 3 (three) months.

During this time, participants are expected to contribute 300 articles, including biographies of Indonesian writers and their works, as well as publishers and other related organizations. Wikimedia trainers are paid to monitor participants during these three months of contributions, and will provide a final report regarding the results of the project's implementation Training will start in October 2011 and end in December 2011

Background[edit]

The Lontar Foundation Digital Library are planning to use Dbpedia for entries of Indonesian writer's bio in their website. However, many of these entries aren't available both in English Wikipedia or Indonesian Wikipedia. Their option is to make a completely independent website or to contribute to Wikipedia and improves the article there. However when trying to edit Indonesian Wikipedia, an Indonesian volunteer contributor told them off by saying "You don't know how to write." The Lontar then suggested by their contact to go to Wikimedia Indonesia for assistance. Wikimedia Indonesia (WMID) agree to help The Lontar Foundation and provide funding for the trainer, however, noting that WMID expertise is limited to Indonesian language Wikipedia and have very little to no knowledge on how English Wikipedia worked WMID contacted its counterpart Wikimedia Australia (WMAU) for help. WMAU identify a Canadian national volunteer contributor (very active contributor) to English Wikipedia studying Indonesian Language in Yogyakarta. WMID contacted the volunteer and arrange five times returned trip, perdiem, and incentive in the course of three months to aided The Lontar Employees to contribute to English Wikipedia and budgeted a trainer in Indonesian Wikipedia to assist and monitor the progress.
