Thanks very much, we were waiting for it for a long time.
Not only Sanskrit scholars but other Indic language speakers whose script is
Devanagari (like Hindi) can contribute to Sanskrit wikisource.

Dear All,
Few wikimedians who understood the importance of wiki source project is
giving proper care to it. From Indic Wikis, I can show you the example of
Bengali wikisource. According to me, both the wiktionary and wikisource
projects are very important for any language which has online presence.
For a language like Sanskrit (which is a classical language),wikisource is
very much relevant and important projects. Perhaps it might have more number
of source texts (which are in public domain) than most of the Indian
languages.
A request for Sanskrit wikisource is logged on 2010 October
04<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikisource_…it>.
The request was approved by the language committee on 2010 November 04, and
finally the wiki is created on *2011 March 18* <http://sa.wikisource.org/>.
It is available here:
http://sa.wikisource.org
Most of the text from Old Wikisource <http://wikisource.org> is already
migrated to this new wikisource <http://sa.wikisource.org>. A cleanup is
required in the wiki. I request Sanskrit wiki community to take of your wiki
project.
Thanks
Shiju Alex
