Wikimedia Wikimeet India 2021/Request for Comments

Request for Comments is a discussion place where we are starting a few discussion and inviting you to share comment/views.

Let's think together, let's discuss. Please see the RfC topics.

Why RfC?: These are a few questions, where we do not know the exact answer, and we believe your comments/inputs will help in planning Wikimedia Wikimeet India 2021 or any other similar event. Let's learn from each other.

Every RfC will have these components–

  • Question: Narrates the RfC topic in brief, in 1–2 sentences.
  • Opening Remarks: Explains the question in details, narrates the things we already know, provides links to resources, and helps to prepare for the discussion.
  • Discussion: Main part of the RfC, where you will participate and share their comment/opinion/view. Although English might be the common language, feel free to write in any language.
  • Conclusion/Closing remark: (optional) draws conclusion, if applicable, at the end of the discussion.

This is a consultation for a decision to be made by the organising team, and we'll follow the best possible and feasible suggestion. All the comments will be helpful to improve our and everyone's learning.
