Wikisource Handbook - Wikimedia-l

11 Sep 2018

Hi Mathieu,

I have no problem re-licensing the book at all. I assume, Ananth
will confirm soon from his part. He also assured me that he will
start working on the meta version soon.

I was responsible for creating the draft of the handbook and I
have the draft text version with me. I guess, the finalized text
version is with Ananth as he did the rest of the work of designing
and finalizing the handbook. I guess, he will share the text
version soon, so that it can be translated into other languages,
including Indic languages.

Regards,
Bodhisattwa

    Hey Peter, thank you for the incitive to go on.

    Actually, I didn't watched the license before, but it's
    CC-by-sa-4.0, so
    as it is, I couldn't copy/paste it into a Wikimedia wiki, as
    most of
    them are CC-by-3.0, and the other licenses used on some wiki
    are even
    less possibly compatible. I have little doubt Ananth and
    Bodhisattwa
    will grant us persmission to also publish the document under the
    CC-by-sa-3.0, but we still need their consent.

    More importantly, my implicit questioning was "were could I
    find the
    original working document of from which this PDF was generated
    from?".
    Sure we can always make copy/paste from the PDF, but having
    the working
    document is often far more useful as a base to wikify.

    Thank you again to Ananth and Bodhisattwa for the document, I
    hope we
    will be able to make a wiki version together, and thank you
    Peter for
    pointing the license issue and the lake of explicit demand for
    the
    working document.

    Cheers
