Excellent initiative!  Worth sharing on the international Wikisource mailing list[1] as well.

One suggestion for improvement is to better categorize the audio files on Commons.  Currently the one I sampled only had "Gujarati Wikisource" as a category.  It would be useful to further categorize as audio books in Gujarati, and by author as well. 

Cheers,

Dear All,

We are please to inform that Gujarati Wikisource Community has started "Audio Book" section for the benefit of the visually impaired people as well as for the people who do not take out time to read due to compulsions of busy schedule.

The idea of an audio book was there for a long time in mind but due to small community size the attention could not be made on this front. In the Gujarati Wikisoruce Conference at Ahmadabad (23 & 24 February 2019), One of the Participant Mr. Modern Bhatt showed keen interest on this project and he started working on the same. He has single handedly completed 5 books and working on the next book. The community highly appreciates the great work by Mr. Modern Bhatt.

So far 5 full books have been converted to Audio Format. Their links can be found at the Gujarati Wikisource main page. The Audio file link is placed at Chapter Header as well as, as an Audio Book Index, wherein All the Audio files are placed as per Index. an Example of the same can be viewed here https://w.wiki/4j9

Thanking you,

Sushant Savla
