Hello,
I would like to know if any Wikisource community has moved forward to
*automatically[1]* tag or annotate Wikisource texts or has any plans to do
so.

Hi y'all,
In case you didn't see it already, here is a reminder that the Naming
Convention Proposals Presentation will start in ~4 hours at 15:00 UTC
<https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Brand+Naming+Pres…>
on YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3zlBGHHHiY
Something that you may not know, is that the Wikisource Community User
Group has a voice in this process.
More exactly here is a copy-paste of a mail I received yesterday from Samir
Elsharbaty (Community Brand and Marketing coordinator at the Wikimedia
Foundation):
*Feedback period: For affiliates and individuals from 16 June to 30 June
2020. A collective feedback survey link will be shared with your email
addresses next week. This survey is a primary way for affiliates to submit
feedback as a group on the proposals. If you would like to change the email
address we send the survey to, please let us know. Affiliate Liaisons: The
most straightforward way for your affiliate to provide feedback during this
phase and the upcoming ones is by designating an affiliate liaison to be a
connection point between our team and your affiliate. If you are interested
in designating a liaison to receive updates and facilitate discussions,
please reply to this email.*
I proposed my name to be the liaison for the Wikisource Community UG, if
anyone else is interested, they can join or even replace me.
And if you have any comments or remarks about the propositions, please
share them (before end of June) so I can then share them in the survey.
Cheers,
Nicolas
Hi all
we have a cantonal archive that would open a project page in German
Wikisource to start uploading historical documents.
Are there German Wikisource contributors here that may guide them? to
undestand the rules in German Wikisource?
Best regards

Hello everyone,
I hope you are all healthy and safe during these difficult times. I expect
that this news might cheer all Wikisource enthusiasts out there!
I am happy to introduce Sohom Datta
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/p/Soda/>! He is one of the students that
the Wikimedia Foundation has selected for the current round of Google
Summer of Code. He is a first year student of Bachelor’s in Computer
Science and Engineering. He will be working on creating a widget to easily
create pagelists on Wikisource. Sam Wilson (primary mentor) and I
(co-mentor) will be mentoring this project.
This project was prioritized because Index creation wizard
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2020/Wikisource/I…>
was one of the highly voted proposals in Community Wishlist Survey 2020
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2020>, coming at
6th spot, but couldn’t make it to the Top 5. More updates on the next steps
related to the Wishlist process will follow shortly.
Further details and progress related to this project can tracked on the
related phabricator ticket:

Feel free to provide any feedback that you might have related to the
project on the phabricator ticket. We will be regularly providing updates
to the community as well.
P.S. Sohom also contributes to English Wikipedia and English Wikisource in
his free time under the username: Sohom data
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Sohom_data>.
Stay Safe!
