Dear Sir,
Firstly I would like to thank you for the continuous support and contribution to the Wikimedia movement.
Wikisource is originally called Project Sourceberg as a play on words for Project Gutenberg https://www.gutenberg.org/. Wikisource began in November 2003, as a collection of supporting texts for articles in Wikipedia. Grew rapidly, reaching a total of 20,000 text units in various languages by May 18, 2005. For updated page/ digitised content you go here https://tools.wmflabs.org/phetools/statistics.php?diff=0
In August and September of 2005, Wikisource moved to separate subdomains for different languages. From that time Indic community members are actively taking part to increase the content in your language Wikisource.
But Indic community members have not got any chance to meet each other and share best practices of their community. Keeping this in mind we are planning to have an IRC[1] on 25th February 2018 (@8:00 PM) for the Indic community. Please suggest Agenda for the IRC in Google Doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/11T9qUpNfx6wY06mVQ8XqXox26PP34eEPyswz8qP_xwU/edit?usp=sharing [3]
