Context

[edit]

The Graphic Labs on Wikimedia Commons and English Wikipedia, create/improve graphical content for use on Wikimedia projects. The Wikigraphists handle requests that have been proposed by the community. This involves work such as vectorizing images — converting to Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), new drawings, diagrams and maps when requests are made to do so. The primary motivation behind this project is to create a community of such users in India, who'll later take up request from communities.
