That's a great idea! It needn't be too hard: if a bunch of us had a
current project to talk about for five minutes apiece, and we sent an
invite to wikimedia-l or somewhere big, it could be done don't you
think? Or maybe we just advertise our monthly hangouts more widely?
There's certainly a lack of awareness about Wikisource within the
WMF, I think.

informative,
I think,
for a lot of people in WMF and inside our movement.
But it's much more difficult to do it, and get a
whole session
for you.
