Activities

edit

Tell us how you'll carry out your project. Be sure to answer the following questions:
1. What content gaps will you be filling with the equipment?

I'll contribute English Wikipedia, Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons, and Meta-Wiki (Learning patterns etc.) using the equipment. I have been contributing to English Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons since December 2014. Recently, I've also started contributing to Wikidata, and Meta-Wiki as well. However, my limitations are that I am unable to contribute while on move, while I'm out of the town, and also frequently as I go out. So this equipment, I'll be able to access web and whenever, even though there is no net connectivity available by default.

2. What activities will you organize in the next 6 months to create content and use it on Wikimedia projects?

Apart from my online contributions, I'm also involved in various outreach activities, so I can use this equipment to support them.

3. How will the equipment be shared/tracked/cared for by members of your community?

As the device allows multiple connectivity, it can be used during outreach activities such as edit-a-thons, meetups etc.

4. How long will the equipment be used, and by whom?

The device can be used for one year along with the data pack, and it'll be used by User:Krishna Chaitanya Velaga.

5. Is there anything else you want to tell us about this project?

Even though it is quite long, I've set the project duration for 6 months because impact can also be measured after at least a few months.
