Tell us about your proposed project. What will you get achieved with this time?
Describe why you think this project is important, and how the project is different from your normal volunteer contributions.

Background

Masyarakat Adat or Masyarakat Hukum Adat is the Indonesian term for indigenous people. Indonesian society is comprised of hundreds of indigenous groups; the number varies across governmental institutions, broadly ranging from 700s to 2000s. However, there has not been any national-wide law regulating specifically the indigenous people, especially about their ancestral land and cultural rights. The legal gap has until now caused uncertainty to any land protection and cultural preservation attempt by the indigenous groups to foster their living environment and traditions. Yet, in the lack of the national-wide law, some local governments have approved local regulations for indigenous groups in their jurisdictions.

Goal

This project is an attempt to collect Indonesian local regulations about indigenous groups across local governmental website into one or two places in Wikimedia projects. The outcome will be a category of Indonesian regulations on indigenous people in Wikimedia Commons that consists of at least 77 files along with their Indonesian Wikisource indexes and Wikidata items.

Preactivity

Before we start the wiki activities, we have been browsing and downloading regulations (in PDF) across Indonesian government websites. Usually, regulations are downloaded from provincial- or regency-level government website, or from this regulation database website and this one. We gather every document's URL into a separate sheet and put the downloaded files into our folder in case the URLs are dead by the time we are about to upload the files to Commons.

Activities

Until now, we have found at least 77 regulations concerning indigenous groups (e.g. lands, customs, and languages); the number can grow. Since the regulations are mostly provided in PDF format and are inherently public domain, activities that may fit this project include:

Uploading the regulations to Wikimedia Commons, describing them in both Indonesian and English, arranging them in one main category, Category:Regulations on indigenous people of Indonesia
Creating indexes of all uploaded regulations in Indonesian Wikisource for future proofreading attempts
Creating Wikidata items about the uploaded regulations
Evaluating works done in previous activities and planning for future proofreading attempts.

Everyone on this project will do all the activities above simultaneously. Making sure nothing is left on each activity (including a preactivity), coordinators are responsible for checking if the activities (and a preactivity) are done properly.
