મિત્રો,
વિકિસ્રોત પર પરિયોજના " તુલસી-ક્યારો" નું અક્ષરાંકન ૯૫% જેટલું પૂર્ણ થયું છે અને તેના પ્રકરણો સહભાગી સભ્યોને વહેંચાઈ ગયા છે. આ સાથે પરિયોજના ક્રમાંક ૪૩ હેઠળ ઝવેરચંદ મેઘાણી રચિત ઐતિહાસિક નવલકથા "રા' ગંગાજળિયો"ને સ્રોત પર ચડાવવાનું કાર્ય હાથમાં લઈએ છીએ. આ નવલકથા ૧૫મી સદીના જુનાગઢના છેલ્લા રા' માંડળિક અને ગુજરાતમાં સુલતાનીયના ઉદય કાળને આવરી લેતી આ નવલકથા છે. ગુજરાતી ભાષાની આ કૃતિને વિકિસ્રોત પર ચડાવવાના આ સહકાર્યમાં આપ નીચે આપેલી કડી (લિંક) પર જઈ જોડાઈ શકો છો.

Dear all,
We from the Centre for Internet and Society's Access To Knowledge (CIS-A2K)
thank you all for your support and collaboration. Below is the details of
our work for the month of June:
Telugu Books Re-release Under Creative Commons License
Ten Telugu Books Re-released Under CC-BY-SA 3.0 License
<http://cis-india.org/openness/blog/ten-telugu-books-re-released-under-cc-by…>
(by Rahmanuddin Shaik, June 22, 2014). For the first time in the history of
Indian books, 10 Telugu books by a single author were released under
Creative Commons license (CC-BY-SA 3.0) on June 22, 2014 at 10 a.m. at
Golden Threshold, Abids, Hyderabad.
CIS-A2K has collaborated with Telugu Wikipedians in convincing Indu Gnaana
Vedika to re-release 10 of their books under CC-BY-SA 3.0 license which is
compatible with Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. Unlike the
predominant digitization efforts (which only makes scanned images
available), these books will be uploaded on Telugu Wikisource
<http://www.te.wikisource.org/> and converted into Unicode (searchable)
text. This will ensure that these books are freely read, both online and
offline in various formats like PDF, epub, mobi, text, etc. This is a major
milestone initiative by CIS-A2K to make the sum of all knowledge in Telugu
freely available to all Telugus over the internet and is part of its Telugu
language area plan
