Google's OCR which apparently is most accurate OCR
we have seen so far, works really good for all the major South Asian
scripts:

Here are test cases of many Indian scripts: https://goo.gl/3X75iR.
Except Gurmukhi most scripts are working really good.
This could be really useful for Indian language Wikimedians and will
come handy for digitization of printed and scanned text. Here is an
animated tutorial for Wikimedians to use this tool for
Wikisource/Wikipedia:

Dear all,
registration <http://goo.gl/forms/K5SFPHNkWP>for the international
Wikisource Conference in Vienna is now open until *October 13, 2015*. As
our PEG proposal was successful, we will be able to offer some
scholarships to increase diversity among participants in terms of
language and geography.
The registration process also entails the scholarship application for
those participants who are not funded by a Wikimedia affiliate or other
organization. We encourage especially visa applicants to register and
get in touch with the team from WMAT soon.
We are looking forward to seeing some of you in Vienna soon!
Claudia, Andrea and David

Dear all,
thanks to Wikimedia Österreich we are organizing the first international
Wikisource Conference, which will be held in Wien, Austria, from November
20 till 22, this year.
We are finalizing the application for a WMF grant, and would like to
receive some feedbacks:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG/WCUG/Wikisource_Conference_2015
Hopefully, everything will go for the better and we will receive the money.
>From there, a lot of work have to be done!
Here there is the page for the conference on Meta:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikisource_Community_User_Group/Wikisource_…
It's up to *you* to come up with a program for the conference :-)
Seriously: it's important that this will be a community event, and
community curated too.
We will have many things to discuss, and we hope it will be great event.
And yes: if everything goes as expected, there will be scholarships, but
it's crucial that we involve our Chapters.
More on this soon.
Spend some time in the weekend to give us some honest feedback!
I hope you are excited about this as we are.
Thanks
Andrea, David, Claudia
Hello Nicolas, Hello all...
Sure, I would be available to talk about the wonderful association we got
with BAnQ (Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec / Québec Library &
National archives) and how this partenership is doing great (doing so great
that BAnQ offered Wikimedia Canada a free office within one of the National
archives building for the next 10 years!!!)

I've been having trouble visiting Wikisource sites in both Firefox and Chrome since yesterday. On the Italian Wikisource I manage to open the main page and follow the link to the Scriptorium, but I cannot go any farther because pages do not load. I cannot access the English Wikisource at all; I type the URL and press Enter, but it refuses to load. On the multilingual Wikisource I opened the main page and logged in, but then I could not go any farther. However, the French Wikisource works just fine. Everything seems to be fine with Internet Explorer 8, which is the latest version
I can have on my old XP-run PC.
Has anyone experienced similar problems?
I had already noticed something weird a few days ago, as my username (and the set of links that accompany it) appeared on Wikisource sites but not on Wikipedias.

Is this something that we should pursuit?

Subject: [Wikimedia-l] New WMF initiative: Community Capacity Development
To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Dear Wikimedians,
{{Nutshell|WMF Community Engagement Team is allocating staff time and
funding to deliberate capacity-development projects with interested
communities in six capacity areas: community governance; conflict
management; on-wiki technical skills; new contributor engagement and
growth; partnerships; communications}}
==Details==
This is a new way of partnering with WMF: through two way conversations
(rather than top-down planning), WMF will work with specific emerging
communities to explore obstacles for community growth and explore and pilot
solutions together.
The first phase of this work consisted of a series of in-depth interviews
with individuals from 16 specific emerging communities to gather
information about existing and missing capacities. Reviewing those
interviews in aggregate, we came up with six capacities it seems useful to
work together on.
We prepared a page per such capacity, detailing challenges and possible
approaches to build that capacity. We welcome your feedback! Contributions
to those pages can be done in the following ways:
* Sign up on the sidebar of each capacity subpage if you want to implement
certain practices described,
* Provide more links to resources,
* Expand the Potential Solutions section with new ideas.
These pages, including your contributions, will serve as the basis for
specific conversations with specific communities to develop plans or
projects to build capacity.
During this initial pilot period, we intend to pursue projects in two or
three capacities at most, which will be chosen according to community
interest, scale of community, and scale of readership. We expect some of
the specific actions we take in these projects would create resources
[re-]usable by other communities as well.
==Join the Conversation==
We invite you all to read through the capacity pages, and specifically, to
see if the challenges described resonate with you and your community. If
they do, have an on-wiki discussion about it with your community, and if
there's general interest, sign up on the capacity pages and we'll have a
conversation about what might be some possible next steps.
Find the six capacity pages on Meta, here:

Looking forward to fruitful engagement,
