వికీపీడియా:వికీప్రాజెక్టు/సిఐఎస్-ఎ2కె/సీఐఎస్-ఎ2కె తెవికీ ప్రణాళిక జులై 2015-జూన్ 2016

సీనియర్ తెలుగు వికీపీడియన్ గుళ్ళపల్లి నాగేశ్వర రావు తన వికీ అనుభవాలు పంచుకుంటూ.

సీఐఎస్-ఏ2కె నిరుడు తెవికీ సముదాయంతో, సంస్థాగత భాగస్వామ్యాల ద్వారా ఆశించిన ఫలితాలను చేరుకుంది. ఫిబ్రవరి 2013 నుండి సీఐఎస్--ఎ2కె తెలుగు వికీపీడియా సమూహ సభ్యులతో పని చేస్తూ వచ్చింది. సంస్థాగత భాగస్వామ్యాలు ఇందుకు దోహద పడ్డాయి. తెలుగు వికీపీడియాలో, వికీసోర్స్ లో సమిష్టి కృషి ద్వారా సమూహ సభ్యులు తెవికీ, తెవికీసోర్స్ నాణ్యతను పెంచుతుంటే, సీఐఎస్-ఎ2కె కొత్త వాడుకరులను తేవటం, వారిని సమూహానికి పరిచయం చేయటం చేసింది. వీరు తిరిగి సమూహంతో కలిసి సమిష్టి ప్రాజెక్టులలో పని చేసారు. తెలుగు వికీమీడియా సమూహంతో పని చేయటం ద్వారా సీఐఎస్-ఎ2కె ఎన్నో సరికొత్త పాఠాలను నెర్చుకుంది. సీఐఎస్-ఎ2కె పని చేస్తున్న ఇతర భాషలలో ఈ అనుభవాన్ని చేర్చి మెరుగైన ప్రణాళికలు రూపొందించింది కూడా.

తెవికీమీడియన్లలో సుపరిచితులు అగ్రగణ్యులైన అర్జున రావు గారు ముందు నుండి సీఐఎస్-ఎ2కె కార్యక్రమాల పట్ల శ్రద్ధ చూపించారు. మేము తప్పటడుగులు వేసినపుడు సరి చేసారు. తన బ్లాగు పోస్టు ద్వారా తెవికీ గత అయిదేళ్ళ అభివృద్ధిని సమీక్షిస్తూ గత రెండేళ్ళలో 163.40% శాతం అభివృద్ధితో మంచి ప్రగతిని సాధించిందని పేర్కొన్నారు/ ఇందుకు సమూహ సభ్యుల కృషి, వికీమీడియా ఫౌండేషన్ సహకారంతో పాటుగా సీఐఎస్-ఎ2కె ప్రణాళికలు కూడా దోహదపడ్డాయని తెలిపారు. సీఐఎస్ ఈ మెచ్చుకోలును తిరిగి తెలుగు వికీమీడియనులనే బాధ్యులుగా పేర్కొటుంది. సీఐఎస్ ప్రణాళిక మాత్రమే రూపొందించినా, వారి సహకారం, అవిరళ కృషితో తెవికీ సభ్యులు ఆ ప్రణాళికకు సాకార రూపం ఇచ్చి అందులోని లక్ష్యాలను చేరుకోవటంలో పూర్తి పాత్ర వహించారు. తెలుగు స్వేచ్ఛా నిర్బంధ జ్ఞానం అందరికీ అందేలా చేయడంలో బాధ్యత తెవికీమీడియన్ల వలన మరింత పెరిగింది. ఇంకా ఈ ప్రయాణపు గమ్యం బహుదూరం. రెండేళ్ళుగా తెలుగు వికీపీడియా-వికీసోర్స్ తోడ్పాటుదార్లతో గల అనుబంధం, పని చేసిన అనుభవంతో మరింత లోతుగా తెవికీలో పని చేయాలని సీఐఎస్ నిర్ణయించింది. మార్చ్ 2013 నుండి సీఐఎస్ చేసిన పనులను బేరీజు వేస్తూ మొదలయే ఈ ప్రణాళిక జులై 2015 నుండి జూన్ 2016 వరకూ సీఐఎస్ తలపెట్టిన పనులు, సమూహం ద్వారా సీఐఎస్ అభ్యర్థన కోరబడి సమూహం చేయబోయే పనులతో కూడుకొని ఉంది. సమూహ సలహాలను చర్చల రూపంలో పొంది, ఈ ముసాయిదా ప్రణాళికలో మార్పులు చేయగలము.

ఎంత దూరం వచ్చాం - గత రెండేళ్ళ విశ్లేషణ

సీఐఇఎస్-ఎ2కె నిరుడు వార్షిక ప్రణాళికను తెలుగు వికీపీడియన్ల అవసరాలను వారి ద్వారానే తెలుసుకుని రూపొందించడం జరిగింది. ఈ ప్రణాళికలో కూడా ఇదే పద్ధతిని పాటించాము. క్రితం ప్రణాళికలో తెలిపిన విధంగానే సంస్థాగత భాగస్వామ్యం ద్వారా తెలుగు వికీమీడియాకు, తెవికీ సముదాయానికి తెవికీ, ఇతర సోదర ప్రాజెక్టులలో విషయవస్తువునూ అందించడంలో సముదాయ సశక్తీకరణలో బాగా పనికి వచ్చాయి. హైదరాబాద్ కేంద్రీయ విశ్వవిద్యాలయం వారు వారి కళాశాల ప్రాంగణాన్ని హైదరాబాద్ సమావేశాలకూ, కార్యక్రమాలకూ వేదికగా అందిస్తున్నారు. ఆంధ్ర లయోలా కళాశాల భాగస్వామ్యం ద్వారా 260 మంది కొత్త వాడుకరులు వచ్చారు. వీరిలో 12 మంది చురుకైన వికీపీడియన్లుగా మారారు. భౌతిక శాస్త్రం, తెలుగు విషయాలలో దాదాపు 150 కొత్త వ్యాసాలు సృష్టించబడ్డాయి. అన్నమయ్య గ్రంథాలయం గుంటూరు వారు వారి గ్రంథాలయ సూచిక, ప్రచురణలను సంస్థాగత భాగస్వామ్యం ద్వారా తెవికీ కి అందించారు. ఈ గ్రంథాలయం దాదాపు 80 వేల పైచిలుకు పుస్తకాలతో ఒక మంచి గ్లాం ప్రాజెక్టు కాగలదని సీఐఎస్-ఏ2కే భావిస్తోంది. ధార్మిక, ఆధ్యాత్మిక, సాంస్కృతిక, మానవశాస్త్ర సంబంధ ఎన్నో పుస్తకాలకు ఈ గ్రంథాలయం నెలవు. ఈ గ్రంథాలయానికి సాంకేతిక మెరుగులు దిద్ది ప్రపంచ స్థాయిలో అందరికీ వికీ ప్రాజెక్టులు వేదికగా అందుబాటులోకి తేవడంలో సీఐఎస్-ఎ2కె సహకారం ఇవ్వనుంది. అలానే ఫేస్బుక్ వేదికగా పని చేస్తున్న ఔత్సాహికుల ద్వారా అన్నమాచార్య కీర్తనల యూనికోడ్ పాఠ్యాన్ని పొందడం జరిగింది. ఇవి దాదాపుగా అన్నమాచార్యులవారి లభ్యమయే కీర్తనలలోని 15000 కీర్తనల భాండాగారం. ఈ కీర్తనలు వికీసోర్స్ ద్వారా అందుబాటులోకి వస్తాయి.

సీఐఎస్-ఎ2కె సహకారంతో తెవికీ సభ్యులు గత సంవత్సరంలో పలు భారత భాషా వికీపీడియనులు పాల్గొన్న సదస్సులలో హాజరయ్యారు.
సీఐఎస్-ఎ2కె ఈ విధంగా సంస్థాగత భాగస్వామ్యాల ద్వారా, కొత్త సభ్యులను తెవికీకి పరిచయం చేయటం ద్వారా, సముదాయ సభ్యులను సశక్తీకరించడం ద్వారా, సమిష్టి కృషి ప్రాజెక్టులకు తెవికీ సభ్యులను ప్రోత్సహించడం ద్వారా, ప్రస్తుతాం ఉన్న మొలక స్థాయి వ్యాసాలను అభివృద్ధి పరచడంలో సహాయం అందించడం ద్వారా, సముదాయ కార్యక్రమాలు, సమావేశాలు, వార్షికోత్సవం లాంటివి జరిపించడం ద్వారా తెవికీ సముదాయానికి సహకారమిస్తూ సముదాయ సభ్యులను తెవికీలో పలు స్థాయిల్లో పని చేసేలా ప్రేరేపిస్తున్నది. ఇవన్నీ జరగడం ద్వారా తెవికీ దినదినాభివృద్ధి పొందుతోంది. సీఐఎస్-ఎ2కె తెవికీ 11వ వార్షికోత్సవాన్ని జరుపుకునేందుకు సహాయం అందించింది. ఈ కార్యక్రమం భాస్కర నాయుడు, సుజాత, ప్రణయ్ రాజ్, పవన్ సంతోష్, కశ్యప్, గుళ్ళపల్లి నాగేశ్వరరావు మరియు విశ్వనాధ్ కార్యవర్గ సభ్యులుగా వ్యవహరించి నేతృత్వం వహించారు. ఈ సందర్భంలో తెవికీ సముదాయంతో సీఐఎస్-ఎ2కె వివిధ ప్రాజెక్టులను సమిష్టిగా ఆలోచించి ఆచరణయోగ్యమైనవిగా మలిచి ప్రస్తావించింది. గత రెండేళ్ళలో తెవికీ కనబరచిన ఈ కృషే తెవికీ అభివృద్ధికి ప్రధాన కారణం.

సీఐఎస్-ఎ2కె హైదరాబాదులో, బెంగుళూరులో తెలుగు వికీపీడియనులు కలుసుకునేలా వేదికను ఏర్పాటు చేసింది. జులై 2014 నుండి దాదాపు 10 నెలవారీ సమావేశాలు జరిగాయి (వేదుకలు-ఉత్సవాలు మినహాయించుకొని). ఇవి సైష్టి ప్రాజెక్టుల ఆచరణలో దోహద పడ్డాయి. ఈ కింది పట్టికలో గత సవత్సరపు లక్ష్యాలకు అనుగుణంగా ప్రస్తుత పరిస్థితి చూపించబడింది.

ముఖ్య చర్య	ఉపచర్య	పరిస్థితి
కొత్త వాడుకరులను తేవడం	సంస్థాగత భాగస్వామ్యం: ఒక విద్యా సంస్థ లేదా నిర్దిష్ట విషయమై పనిచేసే సంఘంలోని వ్యక్తులను వికీపీడియన్లుగా తీర్చిదిద్దడం	కొత్తగా ఆంధ్ర లొయోల కళాశాల భాగస్వామ్యం. ఎఫ్లూ, హెచ్.సీ.యు లోని థియేటర్ ఔట్రీచ్ యూనిట్ భాగస్వామ్యాలు కొనసాగింపు. వచ్చే నెలలలో మరో రెండు సంస్థలతో భాగస్వామ్య ఒప్పందం కుదుర్చుకోవాలనేది సంకల్పం, ఇతర సంస్థలతో చర్చలు జరిపినా సమ్యాభావం, రాజకీయ అనిశ్చితి వలన ముందుకు సాగలేదు.
	Small City Outreach: CIS-A2K will identify small cities across AP and Telangana where internet penetration is high and use the connectivity factor to actively spread awareness about Telugu Wikipedia	This activity has been actively taken up by Pavan santhosh in Tadepalli Gudem and Viswanadh in Rajahmundry. The other cities where such possibility has seen partial success are Vijayawada, Guntur and Tirupati.
	User Interest Groups: Target and enroll at least 4 existing collectives or groups and motivate them to contribute to Telugu Wikipedia	Limited success. Brought on board 10 new editors and 2 active editors in the field of literature and poetry. Around 40 biographical articles, 10 poetry related articles were created.
Strengthening Existing Community	Capacity Building Meet-ups: To facilitate interactions among community members to create new project ideas, mitigate issues and review periodic growth of Telugu Wikipedia	Highly successful. In addition to the monthly meet-ups, three large community meet-ups were organised.
Strengthening Existing Community	Advanced User Training: 2-3 advanced training programs	Successfully organized 2 advanced user trainings. Also CIS-A2K's Train the Trainer program helped four Wikipedians from Telugu Wikipedia Community to enhance their skills who in turn played a key role in organising various events at Tewiki
Content Generation	Making Telugu Content in Public Domain Accessible	Survey of books has been done against the plan. An IEG grantee from Telugu has applied for a project that will make DLI book catalogue accessible in Unicode.
Content Generation	Content Donation	About 50 books are release under CC license by 8 authors.

In addition to this, CIS-A2K has also undertaken the following activities that helped in the growth of Telugu Wikipedia and the associated community. Organized 12 Telugu Wikipedia Training Workshops :

Telugu Sahityam Project (about 1000 articles were created and quality improved)
Monthly tracking of stub article creation and improvement
Telugu Wikimedians had set for themselves a target of 61000 articles before TeWiki 11 celebrations. It must be noted that special emphasis was given on the quality of articles to be created.
Significant media publicity in electronic and print media.
Social media campaign for Telugu Wikipedia.
Supported the planning and execution of Tewiki11 in consultation with Telugu Wikipedia Community.
Brought Telugu Wikipedians actively in touch using social media.
Created a page with freely available digital resources, which could be used by Telugu Wikipedians.
Created Telugu typing tutorial.
Periodic one-on-one interactions with active Telugu Wikipedians.

There were two significant challenges we faced during the previous work plan:

Institutional partnership can result in quality content as well as editors.
Small city outreach can lead to both content donation and enrich the community.

CIS-A2K has been able to derive key learnings out of these challenges: Institutional partnerships could be used for diverse purposes and not just for growing new editors - this was made clear by our association with ALC, Vijayawada. When CIS-A2K began implementation of its plan, it was mostly looking to partner with educational institutions to bring on board new editors and to harness the student time in producing knowledge in Telugu under the guidance of the faculty. If we strictly assess the results on these parameters, the proposed institutional partnership resulted beyond our expectations. Andhra Loyola College has offered its guest house for stay for CIS-A2K staff and Telugu Wikipedians while they were doing outreach in and around Vijayawada, and the faculty of ALC have re-licensed about 30 books into CC-BY-SA. This learning will inform our work across other languages too.

The other key activity that did not go as per plan is the small city outreach program. A key reason for this is the political uncertainty in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. CIS-A2K is contemplating on a strategy to work with the projected plan despite the political roadblocks. Another significant challenge is the lack of suitable number of Telugu Wikipedians that can do effective outreach. This prompted CIS-A2K to realize the importance of investing in training a set of enthusiastic Telugu Wikipedians to do successful outreach programs. Towards this CIS-A2K has already executed the Wikipedia Train the Trainer program as part of which four Telugu Wikipedians got trained and are already actively scouting for opportunities to conduct Telugu Wikipedia training programs. CIS-A2K will continue to invest in building a cadre of community leadership that will have a more long term and sustained impact in growing the Telugu Wikipedia. We hope to successfully implement the small city outreach program during the coming year.

ప్రభావం

In discussing the CIS-A2K program’s impact we have presented below both the tangible and intangible aspects of our efforts in growing the Telugu Wikipedia. It is important to note that while showing this impact, CIS-A2K is not taking away the importance of the Telugu Wikipedia community. In fact a major part of the credit goes to the Telugu Wikipedia community that has welcomed CIS-A2K, engaged with the plans, understood the program’s limitations and optimally utilized the movement resources. However, we believe that we have been a significant catalyst in impacting the growth of the Telugu Wikipedia and to an extent Telugu Wikisource.

ప్రత్యక్ష ప్రభావం

There are two ways CIS-A2K is looking at the tangible growth. First, is to compare the growth against planned targets that we had set out last year. The other is to do a year-on-year comparison of the growth against some key metrics across Telugu Wikimedia projects.

Update against the Goals set last year

Parameters	Expected Target (by June 30, 2015)	Dream Target (by June 30, 2015)	Actual figure (As of Feb 2015)
No. of Editors	950	1100	863
No. of New editors	220	370	136
No. of Active editors	90	120	64
No. of Articles	65,000	68,000	61,106
% age of Articles above 2KB size	50%	55%	78%
No. of Outreach Events	15	20	15

As it can be noted from the above table the growth of the Telugu Wikipedia and the associated community is on course and will meet all expected targets that were set out in the last year. While we may see the active editors hit the 90 mark during couple of months we are not certain about retaining it for long time. We are now looking at consolidating the monthly active editor base around 70 in the coming months. It is important to note that the conversion ratio of new editors into active editors has significantly improved compared to the previous years. However, we have no way of assessing if these editors will continue to contribute over a longer term.
It is important to note that during this year some of the active Telugu Wikimedians took leadership in conducting successful outreach events and community events. CIS-A2K is certain that this leadreship will sustain the growth achieved during the last two years and will build further on this. This also gives us a sense that CIS-A2K can exit the Telugu Wikipedia after this year. However, an exit strategy has to be put in place with active consultation with the Telugu Wikimedia community.

Growth of all Telugu Wikimedia projects

Wikimedia Project	No. of Editors		No. of Active Editors		No. of Articles/entries
Wikimedia Project		Jan 2014	Jan 2015	Jan 2014	Jan 2015	Jan 2014	Jan 2015
Te Wikipedia	657	858	72	83	56000	61000
Te Wiktionary	57	61	4	3	88000	98274
Te Wiki Source	49	97	1	11	9000	11000
Te Wiki Quote	12	14	1	1	345	354

The above table is shared to put the growth on Telugu Wikipedia within the larger context of the growth of all the Telugu Wikimedia projects. It can be clearly noted that the catalytic efforts put in by CIS-A2K in Telugu Wikipedia and Telugu Wikisource have definitely had an impact in terms of the growth of the content and the community.

చార్టులు

The above charts give a comparative picture of the growth of Telugu Wikipedia across various metrics during the two calender years 2013 and 2014. It should be noted that CIS-A2K started focussing on Telugu Wikipedia since the beginning of 2013. The above charts clearly demonstrate that the growth trajectories of all the metrics in 2014 is much better than 2013. This could be seen as an indication of the results of various activities that we (Telugu Wiki in collaboration with CIS-A2K) initiated during the beginning of 2013. The challenge, however, for the Telugu Wikimedia community and CIS-A2K is to not only sustain this momentum but to better it in the coming year. CIS-A2K is positive that this will be achieved with the continued engagement and collaboration with the Telugu Wikipedia community.

పరోక్ష ప్రభావం

The various publicity efforts in print (more than 20 news items) and electronic media (one television) during this year had helped to increase the awareness about Telugu Wikipedia. Some of the active Telugu Wikipedians also got showcased in the media, which resulted in renewed community enthusiasm. One of the new active editors Pavan Santhosh has taken proactive role in getting media publicity for Telugu Wikimedia. Further, efforts put into utilizing social media (especially Facebook) did have a positive impact in bringing some new editors on board of which one has become an active Telugu Wikipedian. Telugu Wiki Facebook group started by CIS-A2K is now run collaboratively with some Telugu Wikimedians. The size of the group has increased from 250 members to 1300+ over the last one year. Social media is also acting as an interactive medium among the Telugu Wikimedia community and in building community spirit among the Telugu Wikimedians. There is considerable increase in interactions among Telugu Wikimedians due to various subtle efforts such as providing a venue for monthly meet ups put in by CIS-A2K. Also the diversity of the editors on Telugu Wikipedia has improved considerably during the last year. There is a good mix of active editors across all ages. The gender diversity has significantly improved in comparison to the past. From one woman editor, we now have more than 10 women editors on Telugu Wikipedia. There is an increased awareness among authors and writers to publish their works under CC-BY-SA licenses. This is proved by the number of books donated to Telugu Wikisource in the last one year.

మన తెలుగు వికీ అవసర పునర్విశ్లేషణ

In last years’ plan, a detailed analysis of Telugu Wikipedia, Telugu Wikipedia Community and their needs and requirements were analysed and a section on needs assessment was part of the plan. Looking back after one year we can say that many of the needs are met and some are met partially. Some needs are permanent in nature. Based on the experience and interactions with the community (especially during the Telugu Wikipedia 10th anniversary celebrations), CIS-A2K has revisited the needs of Telugu Wikipedia and the community.

Need Identified (as on March 2014)	Status as on June 2015	Further course of action for (July 2015-June 2016)
To diversify the community through sustained Outreach programs and double the number of active editors	Successfully met	Will be a work-in-progress. More efforts will be required in the coming year.
Catalyze a better conversion rate of new editors to active editors.	Successfully met.	Should be sustained through this year.
Help the community evolve a cohesive policy in effectively discouraging creation of stub articles	Partly met through practice than at a policy level.	Should be a focus for this year.
Recognition of the efforts put in by committed and veteran Telugu Wikipedians	Successfully met.	Newer models to be explored during this year
Lack of Open-Source culture	Not met	To be taken up during this year.
Technical Support	Most requests were met. One request is pending as the commit is due from language engineering team.	Ongoing

In addition to the above the following emerge as new needs

Sustaining the growth achieved so far.
Building content, outreach and technological leadership within the community such that the growth will be long term without building dependency on a catalyst program like CIS-A2K.
Improve Telugu Wikisource as a content repository for the growth of Telugu Wikipedia
Creating resources that could be used by Telugu Wikimedians in growing the community. Ex : Video tutorials for editing Telugu wikipedia, etc.
