Dear Wikimedians,<div><br></div><div>This mail is more relevant to wikimedians working in Wiksiource. </div><div><br></div><div>Here is a small blog post about the digitization of books using DjVu (or about using Proofread extension). <a href="http://shijualex.wordpress.com/2012/03/24/digitization-of-books-in-wikisource-using-djvu/" target="_blank" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)">http://shijualex.wordpress.com/2012/03/24/digitization-of-books-in-wikisource-using-djvu/</a> </div>

<div><br></div><div>Few Indic wiki source communities (Sanskrit and Malayalam) are using this method extensively to digitize the books. But some other communities are not aware about the use of such an extension.  </div><div>
<br></div><div>This post is for sharing the best practices from differenent Indic wiki communities.  Going forward I will be sharing these type of best practices and lessons from various Indic language wiki communities. This is essential since in most cases challenges, issues, and solutions are similar for Indic wiki communities.</div>
