[Hamara-devel] mediawiki file uploads, net neutrality page should be on site and not wiki.

[shirish]

Hi all,
I  was trying to make the "Net Neutrality" page on mediawiki and the 
first thing I wanted to share are the pictures/memes which are going 
around on websites/whatsapp and elsewhere.  But found that the mediawiki 
installation is not configured for file uploads.  Can somebody do the 
needful ?

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuring_file_uploads

Please follow the instructions as shared above.

Which also reminds me,  perhaps some of those extensions could also be 
added and configured, even if we do them @ of 1 extension a 
week/fortnightly I'll be more than happy because some feature would be 
added. The more user-friendly it becomes, the more people will use it.

For now, will be downloading some of the Youtube videos, seeing them and 
which of them are good will put them on the wiki.

The mainstream media seems to have caught the issue as well. For 
instance, the famous or infamous shill,  Arnab Goswami of Times Now did 
a one hour program on Net Neutrality about a week back,  dunno how much 
content will be therein but it is good news. See 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IAqN3_waBA for the programme.

@Everybody -  what would you suggest is the best course -

There are lot of parodies, spoofs as well as informative content which 
frame the debate around net neutrality.  The informative content are 
more small-time operators and independent outfits,  the same goes for 
parodies and spoofs as well.

Discussions on channels is also there but again where they would come is 
the question.

Lastly, lot of celebrities are also throwing their weight behind Net 
Neutrality.

I could just link dump everything with small notes as to what that video 
is about, is that good enough.

On further thought, it seems to me that instead of having those links 
just on the wiki, it would be better if we have it on the website which 
would look more official while at the same time it will be known. The 
wiki page can be used as a scratch-pad to add ideas for the campaign as 
well.

Looking forward to feedback.
