"Featured Wikimedian in India" — May 2013 [dead link][Wikimedia India Chapter wiki]
Co-created a Wikimedia-oriented toolkit for addressing exclusions within open-knowledge communities. The completed project produced nine learning modules and a reading list covering subjects including disability, indigeneity, ethnicity, privilege, internet access, inclusive software practices, and safe community spaces. The project was hosted at the now-defunct WikiInclusivity.in (Archived 2019-03-28 at the Wayback Machine.) It was later moved to Meta Wikimedia and the Wikimedia Commons at Community Toolkit for Greater Diversity.
