Challenges and Learnings

[edit]
  • Internet access was inconsistent & Inadequate in some rural locations.
    • To plan a Internet Dongle for such events.

  • Need to develop pre-workshop orientation material for future events.

Future Plans

[edit]
  • Monthly online mentoring sessions
  • Develop Kannada-specific help pages
  • Collaborate with college/university language departments
  • Need printed handbooks in Kannada for offline learners
  • simultaneous activity to plan for keep active editors sustain on wikimedia projects
