CC-India Discussion List

[Jane Hornibrook <jane AT creativecommons.org>]

Hi all

I agree that the unratified logos are marvelous. However due to liability, trademarks, and other legal matters CC HQ and the legal team need to be completely confident that logos everyone's voting on aren't unintentionally breaking important standards. Real problems can trigger when the core mark's fonts and original layout is altered, for example. This generally set out in the in Internet Services and Merchandising Policies for new affiliates, but at HQ we can get better at assisting affiliates with these points in advance to avoid unratified (but beautiful) entries. 

Looking forward to seeing the final selection!

All the best

Jane

Hi all,
First things first. I was surprised to note that I had to create an
account with wikimedia.in I thought the single-sign on permeated by
wikipedia would seep here as well but for reasons unknown they have
not opted to do that. So any comment on that would be nice.

Now for the actual voting, the ones I have liked have not been been
ratified by CC and there doesn't seem to be any discussion or reasons
given as to why they have not ratified it. If there is any discussion
please link/share it here.

The ones I liked do show some of the characteristics of india and
indian culture and are a bit more adventurous than others. Anyway,
sadly all the ones I liked are out of contention but still would
appreciate if any light can be shared on the reasons they were not
ratified.

Wikimedia India is independent of the Wikimedia Foundation (though
affiliated to it). WMF runs its own servers on which WMIN has no control
nor is it responsible for any content and vice versa, WMIN runs its own
server on which WMF has no control nor is it responsible for any content.

Initially, WMIN wiki was open and anyone could edit as an IP. However due
to a large influx of spam edits, only registered users with verified email
ids can edit as of now.

I understand they did not meet CC requirements. If there is someone from HQ
on this list, perhaps it would be better if they elaborate on this.
