Hello all,
We've just published the February 2017 Indic Wikisource statistics. In this
stats I have added one table for Readable Book. This is the 100% validated
Index: <https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/en:Help:Page_status> file with
Transclusion <https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/en:Help:Transclusion> in main
page (NS:0). I have not found any pages in all Indic Wikisource, so I have
digging in Index file list. In this month CIS have organized a Workshop
for Marathi Wikisource, which is quite dead project.[1] I would request to
CIS to organized the same for Assamese, Sanskrit and Kannada Wikisource.
Here is the few stats ans their top three rank...
*As per Number of article*
1. Sanskrit Wikisource ( 16339 pages) - supported by 0.04% scan pages.
(with 170 Index Pages)
2. Telugu Wikisource ( 11778 pages) - supported by 24.56% scan pages. (with
267 Index Pages)
3. Kannada Wikisource ( 9597 pages) - supported by 0.86% scan pages. (with
116 Index Pages)
*As per Number of page Validation*
1. Telugu Wikisource (19539 pages) with 267 Index Pages
2. Tamil Wikisource (5306 pages) with 2168 Index Pages
3. Gujarati Wikisource ( 4562 pages) with 43 Index Pages
*As per Number of page Proofread*
1. Telugu Wikisource (23910 pages)
2. Tamil Wikisource ( 8425 pages)
3. Malayalam and Bengali Wikisource ( 8067 pages)
*As per percentage supported by scan pages.*
1. Bengali Wikisource (30.62%)
2. Telugu Wikisource ( 24.71%)
3. Gujarati Wikisource (18.62%)
I want to specially mention that there are no visible improvement on
proofreading works and page content supported by scan at Marathi,Assamese,
Sanskrit, Odia, and Kannada Wikisource.

_Workshop_on_17-18th_February_2017
I've been tinkering with the ia-upload tool and incorporating Alex
Brollo's better system of DjVu generation (better than converting from
PDF, that is; instead it works from the original Jpeg2000 files and
merges the OCR data in).
I've set up a test installation of the tool at
http://tools.wmflabs.org/ia-upload/test/ and would love anyone to have a
go at it, and to report any bugs at
https://github.com/wikisource/ia-upload/issues
Because DjVu generation can take a while (quite a while if you've got a
crappy slow laptop like me), the tool runs each job on the grid engine,
starting every 5 minutes. The queue is shown on the homepage of the
tool, with a status of each job. (Unless you're just re-using an
existing DjVu file from the IA, in which case it's just uploaded
directly to Commons while you wait, like the tool's always done.)
Thanks!
Dear all,
the WMF is creating a Wikistats 2.0, a new platform for visualizing stats
about project.
The idea is great, because better analytics means better knowledge of the
project and better insights for us the community.
For this week, until next Monday, they are accepting feedbacks:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikistats_2.0_Design_Project/RequestforFeedb…
I already wrote something about the fact that metrics are always
"wikipedia-centric" and for Wikisource we would need them to "aggregate"
edits at a "book level".

If you agree, please say so in that page ;-)

Hi,
A page for throwing and discussing ideas before Wikimania submissions is
now open on Wikidata : https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Wikimania_2017
I'd like to do something around Wikisource and Wikidata and how to make
them efficiently work together.
I've got not precise idea yet of what exactly to do (it can be either a
presentation, a workshop, or a birds-of-a-feather, aimed at beginners or
confirmed users, etc.), and I'll be glad to hear what *you* think is wanted
and/or needed.
What do you think/want/need/suggest ?
Cdlt, ~nicolas
PS: even if you won't be at Wikimania (I'm not 100 % sure myself, mostly
depending on the scholarship), your point of view is valuable, don't
hesitate to share it
