Dear Balaji,

Thanks for your query regarding the Wikisource research project. We have tried to elaborate on some of the motivations and need for this research in the context section of the note; based on experience with Wikisource projects and conversations with community members we understand that there are persistent challenges on these platforms, particularly in terms of technical infrastructure and capacity/skills, but these are not documented or analysed in detail yet. Our attempt here is to collect more data on these challenges by talking to community members and identifying gaps and areas for improvement. The final outcome will be a report with a set of observations which may help inform and structure further efforts in developing such infrastructure, as well as focused capacity-building and training efforts.

Regards,

Jayanta Nath

Hi..
Thanks for carrying out the research project. As of now I couldnt comment on anything. Because I couldnt understand the requirement for the research and what is the expected outcome and what is the practical use of the project.

Regards,
J. Balaji
