Greetings reliable & underrepresented knowledge sources enthusiasts!

We are Diego de la Hera and 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. 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: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Web2Cit/Advisory_Board/Call_for_members

Deadline for applying is August 9th, 2021. We're looking forward to hearing from you!

cheers,
Scann & Diego
