Wikisource Satisfaction Survey 2021
by Satdeep Gill 02 Jul '21

02 Jul '21

Hello everyone! We hope you are all doing well. There has been a lot of Wikisource infrastructure related development in the past year. A lot of which was done by the Community Tech team at the WMF, Grantees funded by the WMF or through projects like Google Summer of Code. We would like to understand what you feel about all of these different features and tools, be it the Wikisource Pagelist Widget or the new Ebook Export tool? We would like to take a little time to fill in this not so long survey. You can take the survey in English <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1DOM1bMB2eFAz_Wfh8k6WT903NWWKIzHBbY6S-yoq-Q…>, Spanish <https://forms.gle/n91HW6W3C8D1z1T8A>, Polish <https://forms.gle/DEntVxSvoZx3n6Yt8>, Hindi <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1XwkNV4FIMOvFm7aKQKDVdX_dtCITHINSVuPH67tefC…> or Punjabi <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1eSV0taEMJ9WTFUdcXFwXRYAgzMD72bkAuiJfk3nhSk…>. (In an ideal world, the survey would be available in all the Wikisource languages, sadly we couldn't do it for this survey. We will try to be more inclusive in the future.) P.S. This survey will be conducted via a third-party service, which may subject it to additional terms. For more information on privacy and data-handling, see the survey privacy statement (English <https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikisource_Community_Tech_Survey_Priv…>, Spanish <https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikisource_Community_Tech_Survey_Priv…>, Polish <https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikisource_Community_Tech_Survey_Priv…>, Hindi <https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikisource_Community_Tech_Survey_Priv…> and Punjabi <https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikisource_Community_Tech_Survey_Priv…> ) P.P.S.

IA Upload (new server)
by Sam Wilson 16 Jun '21

16 Jun '21

In an effort to improve performance, I've set up IA Upload on its own VPS: https://ia-upload.wmcloud.org/ <https://ia-upload.wmcloud.org/> The Toolforge installation at https://ia-upload.toolforge.org/ <https://ia-upload.toolforge.org/> is still there, but if the VPS proves better we can redirect there. Just wondering if anyone feels like testing out the new server and seeing if there's any improvement? Would love any feedback. The ticket for this work is https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T284528 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T284528> Thanks! —Sam

Testing the new OCR tool
by Sam Wilson 08 Jun '21

08 Jun '21

Hi all, The new OCR tool is ready for testing, and we (the Community Tech team) are wondering what Wikisources it should be rolled out to first <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T283898>. Does anyone have a suggestion of which two or three Wikisources would be willing to give it a go? It isn't likely to break anything, and the existing gadgets aren't impacted (it'll just give a separate button, which could be confusing, but doesn't interfere with the existing ones). You can try it out on Beta now: https://en.wikisource.beta.wmflabs.org/w/index.php?title=Page:War_and_Peace… <https://en.wikisource.beta.wmflabs.org/w/index.php?title=Page:War_and_Peace…> Note that the engine selection is saved in your browser's LocalStorage, so will not be saved between browsers/devices but will be saved between sessions on the same browser. Thanks, Sam.

Call for Election Volunteers for Upcoming Board of Trustees Election
by Jackie Koerner 21 May '21

21 May '21

Hi all, Would you like to get more people taking part in the Wikimedia Foundation’s Board of Trustees election? The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees announced the plan for the 2021 Board elections <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_noticeboard/2021…>. That plan includes outreach and communication support for the Board elections. The Board election facilitators will: - Inform communities of the trustee selection process - Invite communities to engage in voting - Encourage people representing emerging Wikimedia communities to run as candidates Voter turnout in prior elections was about 10% globally. It was better in communities with volunteer election support. Some of those communities reached over 20% voter turnout. We know we can get more voters to help assess and promote the best candidates, but to do that, we need your help. We are looking for volunteers to serve as Election Volunteers. Election Volunteers should have a good understanding of their communities. The facilitation team sees Election Volunteers as doing the following: - Promote the election in their communities’ channels - Organize discussions about the election in their communities - Translate messages for their communities *Who are the Election Volunteers to connect your community with this movement effort? Is it you? Or someone you know?* *Check out more details about Election Volunteers* <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021/Electio…> and add your name next to the community you will support in this table <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021/Electio…> or get in contact with a facilitator <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021#Team>. We aim to have at least one Election Volunteer for Wiki Projects in the top 30 for eligible voters. Even better if there are two or more sharing the work. Best, -- *Jackie Koerner* *she/her* Board Election Facilitator *English language communities and Meta-Wiki*

Hello everyone, it's few years that I'm no longer involved in Wikimedia (at least not as much as before), but I'm still admin of a few lists ;-) Does anyone want to take care of this one? I'm not doing a good job and would love to let others curate it more than I do. Let me know. Cheers, Aubrey
