What type of support you need

• Laptop

Reason

Why do you need this support (Internet and/or laptop) My old laptop is 7 years old. I have gotten it repaired many times but it gets out of commission at critical times. The latest incident happened few days from Online International Mother language Edit-a-thon and I had yet to prepare Wiki Page, put notifications on different channels, create list of articles of mother tongues of India that were not present in Punjabi Wiki and my laptop kept switching off after every 10 minutes, so I had to give to repair shop. Because of years of usage it has gotten slow and dies now and then. To handle that critical situation, I had to ask for support from my community members. Some members of Chandigarh Wiki Club also use this laptop to make articles in Punjabi and Hindi Wikipedia.

Future activities

How will you use this in the next six months? Organizing various online events of Wikipedia, wikicommons and wiktionary in Punjabi Wikipedia. I will also loan my laptop to community members in Chandigarh Wiki Club who need it for online contribution and having this laptop will help us build a stable community in Chandigarh, especially with some people who cannot contribute to Wiki because of lack of computer. We have tried creating articles from mobile phones in Punjabi and Hindi, but new volunteers find it really difficult and give up in half the process because translating from different tabs takes long time and sometimes, they lose unpublished content due to automatic page refresh.
