Dear Sushant and other Gujarati wikipedians,
As you all are aware Wikisource is a great a wiki project for most indic languages. Some Indic wiki communities (for example: Malayalam, Bengali ) are already having very active wiki source projects.
It is important that a wikisource project is opened for Gujarati also very soon. But voting on the request page won't help much since language committee is already aware that Gujarati is eligible for wikisource project. According to WMF language committeehttp://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Language_committee, to approve additional wiki projects for eligible languages we need to fulfill certain criteria. Following are they:
- Have an activity community for Gujarati wikisource in the old Wikisource site મુખપૃષ્ઠ:ગુજરાતીhttp://wikisource.org/wiki/%E0%AA%AE%E0%AB%81%E0%AA%96%E0%AA%AA%E0%AB%83%E0%AA%B7%E0%AB%8D%E0%AA%A0:%E0%AA%97%E0%AB%81%E0%AA%9C%E0%AA%B0%E0%AA%BE%E0%AA%A4%E0%AB%80 - Complete the translation of most-used MediaWiki messages (view untranslatedhttp://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:Translate?task=untranslated&group=core-0-mostused&limit=2000&language=gu ); - Complete the translation of all MediaWiki messages (view untranslatedhttp://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:Translate?task=untranslated&group=core&limit=2000&language=gu ); - Complete the translation of main extensions used by Wikimedia Foundation wikis (view untranslatedhttp://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:Translate?task=untranslated&group=ext-0-wikimedia-main&limit=2000&language=gu ). - Complete the translation of Collection extension for Wikisource and Wikibooks (view untranslatedhttp://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:Translate?task=untranslated&group=ext-collection-0-all&limit=2000&language=gu) and - Complete the translation of ProofreadPage extension for Wikisource (view untranslatedhttp://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:Translate?task=untranslated&group=ext-proofreadpage&limit=2000&language=gu ).
We already have couple of Gujarati source texts in old wikisource sitehttp://wikisource.org/wiki/%E0%AA%AE%E0%AB%81%E0%AA%96%E0%AA%AA%E0%AB%83%E0%AA%B7%E0%AB%8D%E0%AA%A0:%E0%AA%97%E0%AB%81%E0%AA%9C%E0%AA%B0%E0%AA%BE%E0%AA%A4%E0%AB%80. Please continue adding more source texts on that site since that will keep the interested members together. Along with that please translate the mediawiki messages in Translate wiki http://translatewiki.net/. I found that for Gujarati we have around 2000 untranslated messages. Keep have some plan to finish these messages within some time frame since that will speed up the creation of Gujarati wikisource.
Please let me know in case you require any help regarding this.

Hi Shiju,
Thanks for your respinse. I had conveyed in past on the request discussion that many of these 2000 messages are technical terms, and we won't like to have them simply transliterated. At the same point, there is no use of translating them with some allien terms which noone would und3rstand.
Community was once very active on wikisource, but because of this stringent requirement, as when the project couldn't move ahead with sub-domain creation, they lost interest.
Isn't there anyway where we can get waiver of this requirement to have all those messages translated? You can see that most frequently used messages are translated anyways.
Will really appreciate if you could help in this matter. As Gujarati community is active on wikipedia, it won't be much hard to get wikisource going either.
Looking forward for your and chapter's help.

There are some unavoidable technical words. And community can decide whether a suitable word from language to be used or to be transliterated. If anybody feel that the UI of an extension is using too many technical words or jargons that users cannot understand it is a bug to the extension an should be reported in bugzilla. That will help other languages too.
Community was once very active on wikisource, but because of this stringent requirement, as when the project couldn't move ahead with sub-domain creation, they lost interest.
If there are not enough people from community to participate, that is an outreach problem. I think WMF India has good role to resolve this issue by working with Gujarati community mr.wikisource.org is approved last week by satisfying the requirements. Gujarati is not an inactive community or incapable of doing this :)
If we can conduct translation sprint along with Wiki outreach programs, where there are potential contributors, this is not a hard to achieve goal.
Isn't there anyway where we can get waiver of this requirement to have all those messages translated? You can see that most frequently used messages are translated anyways.
Wikimedia Foundation language committee discussed this and not ready to give exemption for Gujarati from Localization requirement.
The localization requirement is a policy by langcom and approved by Board, and it is for a purpose. Please see it as a community building opportunity
As Gujarati community is active on wikipedia, it won't be much hard to get wikisource going either.

Yes true. If few more interested Gujarati wikipedians can join this can be easily finished in a month. May be it is a good idea to post a message about this in GU wiki village pump also.
Also I suggest to keep this as an agenda for next Ahmedbad Wikimeetup if the meetup plan to cover Gujarati wikipedia also. Marathi Wiki community had completed the translation through many translation sprints that happened as part of Marathi wiki meetups. In fact it is easy to finish more messages when we do it as part of editathon or similar programs.
Wishing Gujarati community all the best to finish this soon.
