મિત્રો,
વિકિસ્રોત પર સહકાર્ય પરિયોજના - "વેરાનમાં" ની ભૂલશુદ્ધિનું કાર્ય પૂર્ણ થયું છે. આ સાથે પરિયોજના ક્રમાંક ૯૦ હેઠળ શ્રી રમણલાલ દેસાઈ રચિત નવલકથા "બંસરી" ને સ્રોત પર ચડાવવાનું કાર્ય હાથમાં લઈએ છીએ.
ગુજરાતી ભાષાની આ સુંદર કૃતિને સ્રોત પર ચઢાવવાના કાર્યમાં જોડાવા માટે આપ નીચેની કડી પર જઈ વધુ માહિતી મેળવી શકશો.

મિત્રો,
સહભાગી મિત્રોના સહકાર્યને કારણે વિકિસ્રોત પર શ્રી ઝવેરચંદ મેઘાણી રચિત વાર્તા સંગ્રહ "વેરનમાં" ચઢાવાનું કાર્ય પૂર્ણ થયું છે. આ પરિયોજના ૧૬-૧૨-૨૦૧૭ ના દિવસે ચાલુ થઈ અને ૨૦-૦૧-૨૦૧૮ ના દિવસે તે પૂર્ણ થઈ છે.
આ પરિયોજનામાં અશોકભાઈ વૈષ્ણવ (અમદાવાદ), કૃષ્ણકાંતભાઈ ઠાકર (અમરેલી), ધવલ વ્યાસ (લંડન), સતિષચંદ્ર પટેલ (ભરૂચ), નિઝિલ શાહ (અમદાવાદ) અને સુશાંત (મુંબઈ)એ ભાગ લીધો હતો. પોતાના સમયનો ભોગ આપીને આ કૃતિને વિકિસ્રોત પર ચડાવવા બદ્દલ વિકિસ્રોત આપના સહભાગની સરાહના કરે છે
શ્રી ઝવેર્ચંદ મેઘાણીએ "વેરાનદશાના મારા એ મહાપ્રાણ સાથીઓ" તરીકે વર્ણવેલી તેમની પ્રારંભિક કૃતિઓનું આ સંકલન છે. જેમાંથી વિશ્વ સાહિત્યને કૃતિઓ અને તેમના સર્જકોના જીવનનઓ આછો ચિતાર મળે છે.
વિકિસ્રોત પરની આ પુસ્તકની કડી:

Greetings,
I am planning for Wikigraphists Bootcamp in India, please fill out the
survey form to help the organizers. Your responses will help organizers
understand what level of demand there is for the event (how many people in
your community think it is important that the event happens).
Survey form: https://goo.gl/forms/JeyW7vDzGnYohdyv2
To start with, English Wikipedia has a dedicated team of editors to work on
computer generated images, illustrations, and maps. The platform is
referred as the Graphics Lab <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki
/Wikipedia:Graphics_Lab>, and the contributors are called Wikigraphists.
Wikigraphists work to improve the quality of the images that have been
proposed by the community. This involves work such as extracting key
elements from photos, improving the color of images or emphasizing the main
subject, stitching multiple images together and often vectorizing images —
converting to Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG). They also create new
drawings, diagrams and maps when requests are made to do so. The Graphics
lab functions as Illustration workshop, Photography workshop, and Maps
workshop, depending upon the type of request by a user.
However, the use of SVG format, and other above mentioned graphic
techniques are not seen much seen in practice among the Indian community.
The plan is to organize a bootcamp for 3–4 days to train the participants
on the above said. The workshop will emphasize on the "Graphics lab" of
Wikipedia, and the technicalities and image parameters of Quality images
(QI) and Featured pictures (FP), on Wikimedia Commons. At the end of the
day, the participants will turn out to have knowledge to create drawings,
illustrations, diagrams, maps, graphs, bar charts etc. and get to know to
how to tune the images to meet the QI and FP criteria.
