Hi all,
CIS-A2K <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CIS-A2K> is planning to invest
some resources from May-June 2020 to create community movement resource
(CMR) materials in English and different Indic languages for Wikisource in
the form of tutorials, handbooks, infographics, videos, animations etc. The
aim of this initiative is to build a pool of resource materials for
Wikisource eventually, which will serve as ready-made handy references for
new as well as experienced users. You are requested to fill up this form
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeTgGEXCjONue6owzPtPdMU9Erc2jgas8p…>,
so that we can understand your needs on different topics of Wikisource. You
are also very welcome to actively participate in the process and help us
build the CMR with your different areas of expertise.
Take care,
Jayanta Nath
Wikisource Advisor, CIS-A2K
Hi Shrini,

thoroughly documenting and sharing.
Take care,
