Hello fellow Wikisource enthusiasts!
I hope you are all doing well and staying healthy. Sam Wilson and I are excited to share that we will be hosting regular Wikisource Triage meetings https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikisource_Triage_meetings, starting from 21st March 2022.
These meetings aim to foster the growth of a technical community of Wikisource developers and contributors. The meetings will be primarily focused on identifying, prioritizing and estimating tasks on the All-and-every-Wikisource https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/All-and-every-Wikisource and ProofreadPage https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/ProofreadPage workboards (among others) on Phabricator and eventually reduce the backlog of technical tasks and bugs related to Wikisource by making incremental improvements to Wikisource infrastructure and coordinating these changes with the Wikisource communities.
While these meetings are technology focused, non-technical Wikisource contributors are also invited to join and share any technical challenges that they are facing and we will help them to create phabricator tickets. Newbie developers are also more than welcome!
The first meeting has been scheduled for 21st March 2022 at 10:30 AM UTC / 4:00 PM IST (Check your local time https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1647858641). If you are interested in joining the meeting, kindly leave a message on sgill@wikimedia.org and we will add you to the calendar invite.
Meanwhile, feel free to check out the page on Meta-wiki https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikisource_Triage_meetings and suggest topics for the agenda.
Regards
Sam and Satdeep
