* '''Nearly 2400 original articles:''' We now have almost 2400 original articles on Sarkarverse. We could and should have many more articles. The more material we publish, the more powerful will be the Internet presence of [[Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar]]. So please consider getting involved. If you ever thought to edit Wikipedia articles about Baba or Ananda Marga, come to Sarkarverse and publish here. Your work will be rewarding. | |||
* '''Prabhat Samgiita on Sarkarverse:''' Sarkarverse remains the primary resource for most information connected with Prabhat Samgiita. Not only do we have the most complete repertoire of audio renditions on Sarkarverse, we also have over 1800 dedicated articles to Prabhat Samgiita songs, including Bangla script, Roman script, and (for more than 1750 songs) original line-by-line translations. | |||
* '''Other new additions on Sarkarverse:''' Some new features have been added to Sarkarverse since our last Bulletin. Most striking for many would be our updated logo (courtesy of Yukteshji) and the new HTML5-based audio player in the infobox for all Prabhat Samgiita articles. The new audio player was necessitated by the deprecation of the Flash player we had been using. For most of you, this new player should prove more convenient. However, if anyone encounters difficulty using the new player or notices a problem playing any particular song, please let us know. | |||
* '''New management:''' The wait continues for a fresh administration. Anyone who would like to take over the day-to-day management of Sarkarverse, please get in touch. This unpaid and under-appreciated job is still open! | |||

* '''All Prabhat Samgiita MP3 files now on Sarkarverse only:''' The MP3 files that were formerly stored on PrabhataSamgiita.net are now residing on Sarkarverse. On Sarkarverse, access may be had to all of those [[Portal:Prabhat Samgiita|MP3 files as well as the old translations of the songs]]. In addition, we currently have individual articles on over [[List of songs of Prabhat Samgiita|760 Prabhat Samgiita songs]], of which more than 660 have the new translations by [[Abhidevananda]]. (Those translations are now published only after the concerning 100-song volume has been released.) All of this has made Sarkarverse a leading authority in respect to Baba's music. | |||
* '''Sarkarverse now has a powerful presence on the Web:''' Over the last year, the impact of Sarkarverse has grown tremendously. Searches on Google about any matter related to [[Ananda Marga]] often come up with a Sarkarverse article appearing high on the first page of hits. For example, see the result when you search on Google for ''[[PROUT|prout]]'', ''[[Prabhat Samgiita|prabhat samgiita]]'', ''[[Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha|ananda marga pracaraka samgha]]'', or ''[[Ananda Marga Caryacarya|caryacarya]]''. | |||
* '''1155 original articles:''' We now have 1155 original articles on Sarkarverse. We could and should have many more articles. The more material we publish, the more powerful will be our Internet presence, the more effective will be our Internet Dharma Pracar. So please consider getting involved. If you ever thought to edit Wikipedia articles about Baba or Ananda Marga, come to Sarkarverse and publish here. Your work will be more rewarding. | |||
* '''Traffic on Sarkarverse is increasing:''' Currently India and Russia make up approximately 50% of the Sarkarverse traffic, with India having about twice as much traffic as Russia. | |||

* '''800 original articles:''' We now have 800 original articles relating to Baba on Sarkarverse. We had hoped to have many, many more by now, but thus far very few have engaged with the project as editors. | |||
* '''Over 450 Prabhat Samgiita songs:''' We now have articles on over 450 Prabhat Samgiita songs. Each of the individual song articles contains substantial information about the song, including date, place, rhythm, and melody. Each of those articles also contains an original, line-by-line translation of the song and links to at least one audio rendition of the song. This has made Sarkarverse a leading authority on the Web in respect to Baba's music. | |||

* '''Major upgrade:''' This month we carried out a major software upgrade on Sarkarverse. The underlying PHP and MediaWiki software were both bumped up two major versions. In consequence, Sarkarverse now offers a more friendly interface for new editors. First there is the ability to quickly change the language with which you view the site and even the keyboard you use to input text. Second, and more interesting, Sarkarverse now provides the new VisualEditor, which allows editing on more of a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) basis. | |||
* '''Almost 300 Prabhat Samgiita:''' We now have almost 300 Prabhat Samgiita songs posted to Sarkarverse. Each of the song articles provides a fresh translation (where applicable), an easily accessed audio link, and detailed information not easily found elsewhere. | |||
* '''Featured articles:''' If you are looking for reference material on [http://sarkarverse.org/wiki/Ananda_Marga Ananda Marga] or [http://sarkarverse.org/wiki/Ananda_Marga_Pracaraka_Samgha Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha], check out those two featured articles on Sarkarverse. | |||

* '''New section on the Main page:''' On 2014 November 25,we added a new section [[Main_Page#Latest_articles|Latest articles]] on the [[Main page]]. The section links to a list of the 10 most recent pages. This number may be adjusted manually, and various other filters are offered. | |||
* '''Return of founding member:''' In our [[Sarkarverse:Sarkarverse_Bulletin/Previous_issues#2014_October_20|last issue]] we informed you that [[User:Tito Dutta]] retired from the project. We are happy to announce that he is back. | |||
* '''Three new portals:''' In November, we have started three new portals: a) [[Portal:Ananda Vacanamrtam]], b) [[Portal:Krsna]] and c) [[Portal:Shiva]]. You may suggest new portals or share your ideas [[Sarkarverse talk:Portals|here]]. | |||
* '''An interesting MediaWiki bug:''' We noticed an interesting MediaWiki bug. Zooming in on any page (except the log-in page) to a magnification of 150% or more was transforming the Sarkarverse logo into the Wikipedia logo. The error was fixed by removing some Wikimedia-based code from our MediaWiki.css page. | |||
* '''Musical notations for some Prabhat Samgiita songs:''' For some Prabhat Samgiita songs, we have been able to add musical notations contributed to Sarkarverse by Bhaeravaji. We also added a musical notation for a PROUT song that was earlier contributed to PROUT Films by Jyoshnaji. | |||
* '''Charitable status of AmRevolution, Inc:''' Sarkarverse is a project of [http://amrevolution.org AmRevolution, Inc.], a registered charity in the USA. On December 1, after more than two and a half years effort, we have finally received approval from the United States Internal Revenue Service of our {{H:title|Scan of 501(c)(3) approval letter|[http://sarkarverse.org/Authorization/501%28c%29%283%29_Letter.png 501(c)(3) status.]|link=no|dotted=no}} | |||

On October 21 [[Sarkarverse]] will be 1-year old. | |||
;Achievements | |||
* '''Article count:''' In our first year we published over 400 articles on Sarkarverse. As of this date we have 417 articles. Our users have made well over 16,000 edits. | |||
* '''Sararkarverse in different languages:''' In the first year, Sarkarverse was started in five languages— English, French, Bengali, Hindi and Finnish | |||
* '''Prabhat Samgiita and Ananda Marga Caryacarya portals:''' [[Portal:Prabhat Samgiita]] and [[Portal:Ananda Marga Caryacarya]] have been well-started in the first year. Both the portals have more than a hundred articles at this moment. | |||
* '''New server:''' In August 2014 , we moved to new server, which has doubled the speed and stability of our site. | |||
;Disappointments | |||
* '''Loss of founding member:''' At the end of his first year of work on Sarkarverse, Tito Dutta retired from the project due to financial constraints. We are very sorry to see him go, and we thank him much for his immense contribution to Sarkarverse. We wish him well in all his future endeavors. | |||
* '''Lack of editors:''' It is a great disappointment that despite inviting, requesting, and reminding many people, we still have very few active editors at this time. | |||
;Looking forward | |||
In our second year, we intend to expand on our current achievements. The speed with which that will take place depends on the recruitment of additional editors. Please do consider getting involved. | |||
