Dhaval, that is just awesome news. When you do finish these books, I suggest each of these be publicly released by a prominent personality. This will give publicity to this most important of ventures, help you recruit more editors and encourage other organisations to release more texts to Gujarati WikiSource.
Warm regards,
Ashwin

Hi All,
For the Gujarati language it is one of those golden days today. We have got our own Wikisource created at http://gu.wikisource.org/. it has been a long journey and took just over 3 years for the subdomain creation. We had created request on 5th March 2009 and it has been created Today on 27th March. This 3 years has brought many of us, Gujarati wikip(m)edians close and lastly, many of my fellows from Gujarati Wikipedia became active there.
We had set our first benchmark of creating 1000 entries, which was achieved early last week. As soon as we achieved that goal, we started creating first complete book, and selected Mahatma Gandhi's Rachanatmak Karyakram (???????? ?????????). User Sushant Savla came up with an idea of collaborative project and 6 users participated with zeal. Sushant very coordinated the entire project and we completed the small book in just 5 days. Attracted by the success of this project, now we have started Mahatma Gandhi's autobiography - ?????? ??????? ???? ???????, and this project is being coordinated by another user Ashok Modhvadia. It must be noted that both, Sushant and Ashok are very old Gujarati Wikipedians, we all started around the same time (myself in late 2007 and they both in 2008). This time, we have 2 additional users contributing in this project and 1 more from the previous task is about to join very soon, making the total count of 8 users.
I take this opportunity to thank all of my Gujarati Community for cooperating us, right from the supporting our request through to localisation of messages and to the contributions till date. I pray that they all and myself remain active always on wikipedia and its sister projects and serve to our mother language and we continue bringing more and more literature from the public domain into gu.wikisource.org tirelessly.
