Content enrichment program on Punjabi Wikisource[edit]

What
CIS-A2K conducted a content enrichment program coordinated with Punjabi Wikimedians by scanning the rare books from different libraries and different organizations. CIS-A2K will continue to work on this program. CIS-A2K will start a campaign to aware Punjabi authors about relicensing their books.

Why
When Punjabi Wikisource became live project there was a little number of books available in the Punjabi language. Most of the books on Punjabi Wikisource are in the public domain and there is less number of relicensed books. To develop this number, CIS-A2K will continue this program. This program will give Punjabi Wikisource volunteers a variety of books.

How
CIS-A2K uses Scansnap SV600 scanner for scanning and we will found books from local libraries, Bhai Kahn Singh Library of Punjabi University Patiala and by using local contacts. CIS-A2K will start a campaign to aware Punjabi authors about uploading their books on Wikisource. Under this campaign, CIS-A2K will approach Punjabi authors and publishers to relicense their books. We will scan their books and upload them on Wikimedia Commons.

Expected outcome

  • 30 Punjabi books will be relicensed.
  • 10,000 pages of Public domain works will be scanned by next year apart from relicensed books.
  • Two proofreading events.
  • We will approach 30 Punjabi authors.

Wikidata+Wikisource Editathon[edit]

What
CIS-A2K will organize a Wikidata+Wikisource editathon to improve data related to books on Wikidata. This will be a weekend-long editathon.

Why
There is a number of Punjabi books that are available on Punjabi Wikisource but they don't have Wikidata items and even some of them are without book template. To fill this gap, CIS-A2K will organize an editathon. Apart from that, there is less number of Wikidata volunteers in the Punjabi community. This editathon will help us to bring new Wikidata users.

How
After preparing the list of books, items will be created. Book cover, Name of author, number of pages, price, language, ISBN number and other statements will be added. We will plan an offline event to teach participants how they can contribute.

Expected outcome

  • 100 new items will be created.
  • The involvement of the community in the activity would be around 10 new Wikidata users.

Involvement of community –

  • Participants – 25
  • Newly registered – 10
  • Footprints - 2

Monthly Meetups[edit]

What
CIS-A2K will conduct monthly meetings of Punjabi Wikimedians. We will organize one meeting every month for the engagement of user group members.

Why
Meetings are helpful to engage community members with each other. They are commonplace where people meet with each other and to share their ideas between the community. So, monthly meetups are important to strengthen community health.

How
The place and dates will be decided by the discussion on the village pump and messenger group of Punjabi community members. People will meet each other at the commonplace. Agenda will be decided before the meeting.

Expected outcome

  • Meetups in Faridkot, Mansa, Patiala and Jalandhar districts.

Involvement of community –

  • Participants – 40
  • Newly registered – 10
  • Footprints - 5

Photo-walks in Punjab[edit]

What
CIS-A2K will conduct photo-walks in the different cities of Punjab.

Why
Photos are an important aspect of Wikipedia articles. They help readers to get a better understanding of the given topic. There is a gap on Punjabi Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. Most of the articles are without photos. We will try to fill this gap by conducting these photo-walks.

How
We will conduct these photo-walks in villages of Faridkot and Mansa district. This will be done with the help of users who are interested in photography. These photos will be uploaded on Wikimedia Commons with proper categorization and We will conduct an editathon for users to add those photos in Wikipedia articles.

Expected outcome

  • 300 photos on Wikimedia Commons.
  • 5 quality images are expected.

Involvement of community –

  • Participants – 20
  • Newly registered – 5
  • Footprints - villages of Faridkot and Mansa district [TEMPORARY]

What
Mini MWT is a short version of MediaWiki Training. Local participants will take part in this training. While MediaWiki Training is a national level training program. CIS-A2k will conduct Mini MWT in Punjab, India for Punjabi Wikimedians.

Why
Mini MediaWiki is important because we have not done this type of technical training in Punjab before. There are experienced Wikimedians in Punjab and even some of them have attended MediaWiki Training. This will be helpful for community to solve technical issues in their Wikimedia projects or to work on new projects.

How
CIS-A2K will conduct this training with the help of local community members. Agenda or schedule will be done by discussing with community members and resource person. Participants will be selected based on their contribution by organizing team. This training will take two days. We will try to do some task work in this training or follow up work for participants.
