New subject: [Wikimediaindia-l] Autobiography of Mahatma Gandhiji is added to Gujarati Wikisource

2 May 2012

Thanks once again Ashwin,

I have been considering to release the books officially, but unfortunately,
PDF conversion is not working with Gujarati. The bug is filed a while ago,
and I have been told that it may get quite a long time to fix the issue.
Without having capability of exporting the page as PDF or preparing a book,
I won't really feel to rush for the book release.

Regards,
Dhaval

  Hi Dhaval,

 That is really very good to hear. We must maintain the highest
 standards in all things WikiSource. Unlike Wikipedia, errors cannot be
 allowed to co-exist. Well done to all Gujarati Wiki-Source-ians. Keep
 yup your great work.

 I request that this book may be please be got "officially" released to
 gain publicity and attention to Gujarati WikiSource & the community.

  Thanks Ashwin,

 Not only this book, but the other one that is completed and the one
 underway, are all proof read against original. These are all manually  typed
  and not OCR'd. Thanks to the lack of
available OCR Tool/software for  indic
  scripts.

 If you or anybody else here is aware of good and reliable tool for Indic,
 especially Gujarati, script please share. That will help us upload book  in
  remarkably less time than it has taken.

 Best,
 Dhaval
