Blog post about the survey almost finished, needs review
by David Cuenca Tudela 01 Jul '15

01 Jul '15

Hi, If someone could take a look to this short text, correct it, or expand it, I would be most grateful. English is not my mother tongue and I keep wondering how to handle it properly... https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Blog/Drafts/Wikisource_survey_and… If more material for the blog post is needed, then there is this report about the WMCON https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ew8cVJhqqenGUAVVaTQqkisyPyd1tSX-zbVfi-U… And the report of last year activities https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikisource_Community_User_Group/2014_Report Btw, the task in Phabricator for the blog post is https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T104116 I find it useful to track blocking tasks to more general things, like in this case the survey. Thanks! Micru

On the subject of works, translations and inter language links at WD
by billinghurst 01 Jul '15

01 Jul '15

[the things we think about on long commutes and not wanting to do more work] An issue that has long perplexed me with WD and the book and edition properties, and translations. If every edition is based on a publication (time and place), and someone does a translation, then this translation is going to be a new edition, new translator(s), different VIAF, etc. [basically it has its own metadata] so it is a different WD entry. Sooooo, how do we use WD to do interlanguage linking, as by it's definition about all we could link are disambiguation pages. Seems pointless, and self-defeating. Regards, Billinghurst.

At wikidata: dissociation of book and edition hiding links between WP and WS
by billinghurst 29 Jun '15

29 Jun '15

With the WD methodology for each book there is to be an entry for the book as the idea/concept. Then for each edition there is to be a separate entry. Now the difficulty that I am seeing is that WP links to the book/idea. Whereas WS links to the edition. So there is no visible relationship from each to the other in the WS <-> WP Now while that may be correct it is problematic. Anyone have any clear solution? If it is going to be through indirect linking then we are going to need some clever lua work at enWS for Wikipedia linking in {{plain sister}} and similarly at the WP side. While I have attention, VIAF entries for works. Are they related to the work or to an edition or is it both? I see that the translations of works have a year in VIAF, and as that relates to an author it may be right but it seems inconsistent. Regards, Billinghurst

Wikidata property for Index pages. Bot needed!
by David Cuenca Tudela 26 Jun '15

26 Jun '15

Just recently a new Wikidata property for linking with the Index page has been created https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P1957 An example of its use can be seen here: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15839163 In theory it should be possible to import it automatically. Is anyone capable of writing a bot for importing it? Cheers, Micru

After the suggestion of Nicolas to redo the 2013 survey to find out which are the priorities of the Wikisource Community User Group, I have started this page to gather questions: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikisource_Community_User_Group/Wikisource_… Feel free to add your questions, or reshape the content. I have added some additional questions regarding governance and personal involvement that I feel that might be relevant. Cheers, Micru

Wikidata and Wikisource. Arbitrary access? Badges?
by David Cuenca Tudela 03 Jun '15

03 Jun '15

Arbitrary access has been enabled in all Wikisources, is anybody doing anything with it that can be replicated in all Wikisources? And regarding badges, there is this ticket open: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T97014 Which badges do we need in Wikidata? I was thinking of: - Proofread - Validated - Export ready Any thoughts on this? Can they be filled up by bot? Thanks Micru

Technical development of Wikisource. What comes first?
by David Cuenca Tudela 02 Jun '15

02 Jun '15

Dear all, Since the Wikisource Community User Group [1] has been building a reliable track record of activities during the last two years, there was the idea of advancing even further and tackling our technical debt with a dedicated Wikisource developer. I would like to draft a project in order to approach Chapters or other organizations that can give us support in our task, but first I need to know what are our highest priority tasks right now. In my opinion it would be something like: - Visual Editor for Wikisource - Book manager extension - Lua scripts for Wikidata integration - Book infobox for Wikipedia to share metadata Any thoughts about this? Does anyone know a reliable developer? Or a chapter that could offer help? Or someone who could act as a techical mentor/overseer? Thanks and regards!
