The books are uploaded to Commons and are now in the hands of Bengali and English Wikisourcers for further work.

500 Internal Server Error for Google OCR button
by Bodhisattwa Mandal 21 Mar '18

21 Mar '18

Hi Sam, The Google OCR button and the tool <https://tools.wmflabs.org/ws-google-ocr/> is giving 500 internal server error output from today, although the Cloud Vision API is working fine <https://cloud.google.com/vision/docs/drag-and-drop>. We have reported in phabricator here <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T190216>. It would be great for us if you please look into this matter urgently as all our options are suddenly ceasing to work. -- Bodhisattwa

Zero output for OCR using Google Drive API
by Bodhisattwa Mandal 20 Mar '18

20 Mar '18

Hi, For last few weeks, Google OCR using Drive API has stopped working for few Indic scripts like Bengali and Devanagari affecting Bengali, Sanskrit and Assamese Wikisource. It's still working for other Indic scripts, I guess. If anyone have any contact with Google, we need to know if this temporary or any plan for major change is underway. This is extremely important as this will drastically sooner or later affect every Indic Wikisource projects and we have to plan accordingly. Regards, Bodhisattwa

February 15 bug
by Alex Brollo 16 Feb '18

16 Feb '18

A deep bug almost completely blocked nsPage editing for many ours. Please ask MediaWiki stuff (I don't know which channel is most effective) for: 1. test carefully any new deploiment of Mediawiki software in wikisource projects, with special attention to proofread extension; 2. communicate fastly - as soon as they pops out - news about such severe and frustrating bugs.

Twitter
by Sam Wilson 15 Feb '18

15 Feb '18

Hi all, There's been some discussion at https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource_talk:WikiProject_Social_media#Twi… about the @wikisource Twitter account (and others). I've just been made a team member of @wikisource, and we should add some more people too. The idea is that @wikisource is the cross-Wikisource account, and each language Wikisource can also have its own account (e.g. @wikisource_fr @wikisource_de, etc. here's a list I started this morning: https://twitter.com/wikisource/lists/wikisources/members are there any others?) So, who wants to be added, and what are your Twitter usernames? We'll also have @wikisource_en later today or tomorrow; same deal. The passwords for these accounts are held by Aubrie Johnson, the WMF social media person. Thanks, Sam.
