Dhaval, that is just awesome news. When you do finish these books, I suggest each of these be publicly released by a prominent personality. This will give publicity to this most important of ventures, help you recruit more editors and encourage other organisations to release more texts to Gujarati WikiSource.
Warm regards,
Ashwin

Hi All,
For the Gujarati language it is one of those golden days today. We have got
our own Wikisource created at http://gu.wikisource.org/. it has been a long
journey and took just over 3 years for the subdomain creation. We had
created request on 5th March 2009 and it has been created Today on 27th
March. This 3 years has brought many of us, Gujarati wikip(m)edians close
and lastly, many of my fellows from Gujarati Wikipedia became active there.
We had set our first benchmark of creating 1000 entries, which was achieved
early last week. As soon as we achieved that goal, we started creating
first complete book, and selected Mahatma Gandhi's Rachanatmak Karyakram
(???????? ?????????). User Sushant Savla came up with an idea of
collaborative project and 6 users participated with zeal. Sushant very
coordinated the entire project and we completed the small book in just 5
days. Attracted by the success of this project, now we have started Mahatma
Gandhi's autobiography - ?????? ??????? ???? ???????, and this project is
being coordinated by another user Ashok Modhvadia. It must be noted that
both, Sushant and Ashok are very old Gujarati Wikipedians, we all started
around the same time (myself in late 2007 and they both in 2008). This
time, we have 2 additional users contributing in this project and 1 more
from the previous task is about to join very soon, making the total count
of 8 users.
I take this opportunity to thank all of my Gujarati Community for
cooperating us, right from the supporting our request through to
localisation of messages and to the contributions till date. I pray that
they all and myself remain active always on wikipedia and its sister
projects and serve to our mother language and we continue bringing more and
more literature from the public domain into gu.wikisource.org tirelessly.
