This document discusses Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation's goals in India. It aims to provide free access to all of human knowledge by creating Wikipedia pages in many languages. In India, it currently has pages in several major languages but aims to expand to cover 80% of the population. Its goals are to increase Indian users, editors, and page views by 2015. The Wikimedia Foundation will support growth by conducting outreach, encouraging university clubs, working with schools, hosting events, providing technical support and creating mobile apps and writing contests. It will work with the Indian community and support national goals in a transparent manner.

Notes de l'éditeur
- Gathering, recording, and sharing human knowledge is not a new concept. The method for collecting information, however, has certainly evolved over centuries.

- Google Yahoo Microsoft Facebook …Wikimedia
- Wikipedia is the world’s largest free web-based encyclopedia written entirely by thousands of volunteers in many languages. It was the great experiment… Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not anything else, not everything in the world Not a library or textbook Not youtube (no funny cat videos) Not facebook (not a social network) An encyclopedia offers an essentialized summary of human knowledge, with the depth of the material depending on the context
- Today, there are 16 million articles including more than 3.4 million English entries Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia
- However, English is only one of 270 languages represented on the site. Some of the most popular are German, French, Polish and Italian. But there thousands and thousands of articles written in Turkish, Korean, Greek, Norwegian, Czech, and more. 500,000 articles in German, Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, etc. 150,000 articles in Catalan, Czech, Català, Turkish, Hungarian, Swedish, Chinese, etc. 100,000 articles: Danish, Indonesian, Bulgarian, Korean, Vietnamese, etc. 50,000 articles: Greek, Croatian, Norwegian, Thai, etc.

- So you what a Wikipedian is, but why is it important to know what these people are like? Readers, even ones that have a grasp of how Wikipedia gets written, often tend to think of regular editors as some sort of collective hive mind, like ants or bees.
- Wikipedia isn’t just a website anymore. That quote is real, it’s from a school librarian in Oregon. Wikipedia isn’t just mainstream, for your kids and grandkids it’s a definitive cultural institution.
- I’d like to start from the demographics data we have on Wikipedians. Keep in mind that this is from a self-reported survey of just over 130,000 readers and contributors. The first thing that jumps out at you is that Wikipedians, at least the ones who fill out surveys, are overwhelming male. From personal experience I can tell you that Wikipedia has a culture that includes influential and respected women, but getting more women active in the projects is a goal. The second thing is that we’re very young. The average is just under 26, so roughly half my fellow Wikipedians are 22 or younger. I began editing when I was 19 I think when I started editing, and I have always been proud of the fact that Wikipedia is a place on the Web where young people take on responsibility. The last is that we may be amateurs, but we’re pretty well educated nonetheless. The percent of Wikipedians with undergraduate and Master’s degrees is pretty much equal with readers, but there’s about double the amount with a doctorate.
- But no matter what demographic you fit into terms of age, race, or gender, there’s a personality that Wikipedians share. Whether you’re a high school student in Iowa or retired in Florida, you’re smart, curious, and you have a few hours a week to give. Of course, the sort of person who writes an encyclopedia for fun tends to have more than a few quirks.
