Telegram group for Wikisource
by Sam Wilson 29 Jul '18

29 Jul '18

There's a new Telegram group: tg://join?invite=FeIIHRKgyed-ODRYi0JzoQ Currently got 50 of us in it. Just thought I'd spread the word here. I know Telegram isn't super great for various reasons and some people can't use it, but it seems to be growingly popular in the Wikimedia universe.

Hi, During Wikimania hackathon, User:Pmlineditor created two python scripts for British Library Endangered Archives Program books upon request from Bengali WIkisource community One of the script is to mass download the books, the other script is to selectively download and directly upload the books to Commons. The scripts are in github - https://github.com/prachatos/eap2pdf Thanks, Bodhisattwa

Fwd: New GLAM and Underrepresented Heritage role at the Wikimedia Foundation
by Alex Stinson 11 Jul '18

11 Jul '18

Hi all, This job is very relevant to organizers and community members on the African and Indian lists, and the WikiSource community. Do try to share the listing with folks you think would be interested. Cheers, Alex ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Alex Stinson <astinson(a)wikimedia.org> Date: Tue, Jul 10, 2018 at 5:00 PM Subject: New GLAM and Underrepresented Heritage role at the Wikimedia Foundation To: Wikimedia Chapters cultural partners coordination < cultural-partners(a)wikimedia.ch>, "Wikimedia & GLAM collaboration [Public]" < glam(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, North American Cultural Partnerships < glam-us(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, Wikimedia & Libraries < libraries(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Hi All, I am really excited to share with you the opening of a new job working within the Programs Team at the Wikimedia Foundation: a Program Officer focused on GLAM and Underrepresented Heritage. As part of orienting our team to better support the Wikimedia Movement direction, we hope this role can help us to better support tactics and strategies that are becoming important among emerging communities wanting to get involved in GLAM programs -- including, for example, leveraging digitization, WikiSource and Wiki Loves type events to document marginalized knowledge. They will be working closely with our existing GLAM team, including Alex Stinson and Sandra Fauconnier, to document and expand the impact of GLAM partnership in the movement, and to help us advance the larger Equity and Infrastructure goals of the movement direction. We also hope that this role helps our team build increased depth of experience with Wikimedia communities outside of North America and Europe, where existing GLAM communities have a strong community of practice and from which Sandra and Alex (and Ben, the Programs team director) have deep backgrounds. If you know someone who is enthusiastic about or has deep experience facilitating GLAM-Wiki or similar community initiatives, please share the job announcement with them: https://boards.greenhouse.io/ wikimedia/jobs/1236692 Cheers, Alex -- Alex Stinson GLAM-Wiki Strategist Wikimedia Foundation Twitter:@glamwiki/@sadads Learn more about how the communities behind Wikipedia, Wikidata and other Wikimedia projects partner with cultural heritage organizations: https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM -- Alex Stinson GLAM-Wiki Strategist Wikimedia Foundation Twitter:@glamwiki/@sadads Learn more about how the communities behind Wikipedia, Wikidata and other Wikimedia projects partner with cultural heritage organizations: https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM

Google OCR button to override language?
by Sam Wilson 04 Jul '18

04 Jul '18

Just wondering if anyone else has an opinion on this: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T198040 It might even be nice to extend the OCR gadget to be able to be used for single-image transcriptions on Commons. —Sam
