Greetings reliable & underrepresented knowledge sources enthusiasts!
We are Diego de la Hera <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Diegodlh> and
Scann <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Scann>, longtime friends and
collaborators in several open knowledge projects. Recently, the Wikimedia
Foundation awarded us a grant to develop Web2Cit: Visual Editor for Citoid
Web Translators
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Diegodlh/Web2Cit:_Visual_Editor_for_Citoid_Web_Translators>.
The product that will be developed through this grant is a visual editor
that allows non-technical users to improve Citoid’s ability to add
references to Wikipedia articles. The aim of the project is to widen the
coverage of underrepresented sources in Wikipedia.
Now, as we start moving with this project, we are putting together an
advisory board that will help us build sustainability and community
involvement for this project. This is an open call for volunteers that want
to help us think through some critical aspects of the project and overall
help us steward it to its current and future success.
Here you can find more information about the current call for members:

hearing from you!
cheers,
Scann & Diego
