Are there any other details you would like to share? Consider providing rationale, research or community discussion outputs, and any other similar information, that will give more context on your proposed project.
The Odia community along with many others in the region needs this project significantly. Being a small community, there are several obstacles, including misunderstandings, language issues, and lack of awareness. This project is a good effort to better comprehend and participate in the Movement Charter Drafting Committee work. We are attempting to mainstream the Wiki movement by integrating the Odia community.

Outcomes

edit

After your activities are complete, we would like to understand the draft implementation plan for your community. You will be required to prepare a document detailing this plan around a movement strategy initiative. This report can be prepared through Meta-wiki using the Share your results button on this page. The report can be prepared in your language, and is not required to be written in English.

  • Provide a link to the draft implementation plan document or Wikimedia page
  • Describe what activities supported the development of the plan

Your draft implementation plan document should address the following questions clearly:

  • What do you expect will happen as a result of your activities? How do those outcomes address the movement strategy initiative?
  • How will you measure or evaluate your activities? What tools or methods will you use to evaluate your activities?

To create a draft implementation plan, we recommend the use of a logic model, which will help you and your team think about goals, activities, outcomes, and other factors in an organized way. Please refer the following resources to develop a logic model:
