Dear All,
Firstly I would like to thank you for the continuous support and
contribution to the Wikimedia movement specially in Wikisource.
You are aware that after first wikisourse workshop organized in Patiala,
the Punjabi Wikisource Community is growing rapidly, reaching a total of
7000+ pages proofreaded in last two month. For updated page/
digitized content you go here[2]
But Indic community members have not got any chance to advantages for this
kind of Workshop for their language community. Workshop for Wikisource
of Punjabi,
Sanskrit & Kannada language community is completed. Assamese, Gujarati &
Tamil have shown their interest for workshop in coming month. Keeping this
in mind we are planning to have an IRC[1] on 17th February 2019 (@8PM) for
the Indic Wikisource community. Please suggest more Agenda for the IRC.
:Agenda
- Update status of what we have done after first IRC and IWCC2018
- Major issues we faced, and how do I help personally towards the
specific community ( Offline and Online both)
- Organize edit-thon for Wikisource ( Offline and Online both)
- Workshop planning for other community for Oriya Malayalam, Tamil and
Telugu.
- Advance Wikisource Workshop for Punjabi Community.
- Add more if you have to discuss ….

Dear All,
We all know that Wikisource is one of the trending Wikimedia projects. We
are getting many new editors and new books to Indic language Wikisource's.
At the same time, we even noticed that there are many problems faced by the
new editors and a few of the existing editors. To help all of the editors
we have created a Handbook titled as *Wikisource Handbook for Indic
communities
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikisource_Handbook_for_Indian_Comm…>.
*Which is now available[1] to everyone to make the best use of it. I
request everyone to share this with all those who are in need of support in
editing Wikisource.
Authors of the book: Bodhisattwa Mandal and Ananth Subray P V.
