Fwd: [Wikitech-ambassadors] Your help needed: Community Wishlist Survey 2016
by Thomas PT 13 Nov '16

13 Nov '16

Hello everyone, The Wikimedia Foundation Community Tech team has launched a new "Community Wishlist Survey". Last year survey allowed us to get WMF staff time to work on using Google OCR in Wikisource that allowed some Indian languages Wikisources to raise and on VisualEditor support. Please, take time to submit new wishes and comment them. It could be simple things (e.g. a new gadget for a specific workflow) or very complicated ones (e.g. native TEI support). Cheers, Thomas Début du message réexpédié : De: Johan Jönsson <jjonsson(a)wikimedia.org<mailto:jjonsson@wikimedia.org>> Objet: [Wikitech-ambassadors] Your help needed: Community Wishlist Survey 2016 Date: 7 novembre 2016 à 20:26:21 UTC+1 À: Wikitech Ambassadors <wikitech-ambassadors(a)lists.wikimedia.org<mailto:wikitech-ambassadors@lists.wikimedia.org>> Répondre à: Coordination of technology deployments across languages/projects <wikitech-ambassadors(a)lists.wikimedia.org<mailto:wikitech-ambassadors@lists.wikimedia.org>> Hi everyone, Last year, the Community Tech team did a survey for a community wishlist to decide what we shoudl be working on throughout the year. Since it's useful to have a list of tasks from the Wikimedia communities, it's also been used by other developers, been the focus of Wikimedia hackathons and so on. In short, I think it matters. Now we're doing the process again. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2016_Community_Wishlist_Survey If you'd feel like spreading this in your communities, it would be much appreciated. *) This is when you can suggest things. This phase will last from 7 November to 20 November. *) Editors who are not comfortable writing in English can write proposals in their language. *) Voting will take place 28 November to 12 December. Thanks, //Johan Jönsson -- _______________________________________________ Wikitech-ambassadors mailing list Wikitech-ambassadors(a)lists.wikimedia.org<mailto:Wikitech-ambassadors@lists.wikimedia.org> https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-ambassadors

EPUB importer
by Andrea Zanni 11 Nov '16

11 Nov '16

I was wondering if someone made some script for "importing epubs" into Wikisource, meaning that * there is a "translation" from HTML to wikitext * there is a translation of the Index It's not a very big deal to do this by hand, but sometimes it would be very cool and helpful for those texts/books which are maybe present in Gutenberg prject (or similar) and are not available in scans... Thanks Aubrey

Eastern Punjabi Wikisource
by Satdeep Gill 28 Oct '16

28 Oct '16

Hello all, I would like to share with immense pleasure that finally Google OCR has started recognizing Gurmukhi text instead of showing Chinese characters. We have been editing Eastern Punjabi Wikisource regularly for the past few months. We also have some books which can be uploaded on local wiki only. I would like to propose that pa.wikisource.org be created.

Wikisource API client PHP package
by Sam Wilson 27 Oct '16

27 Oct '16

Hi all, I've been attempting to generalise some code for scraping data out of Wikisources: https://github.com/wikisource/api (Just in case any of you PHP devs out there are looking for such a thing.) It's not very complete yet, but is functioning and I'm using it in a couple of projects. Would love any feedback or ideas for development! Thanks, sam

LivePreview for nsPage: try to make it more useful
by Alex Brollo 21 Oct '16

21 Oct '16

Who tries livePreview for nsPage, finds that it's no so much comfortable, since size/position of its output doesn't allow a useful comparison with front image or with wikicode. VisualEditor could be a good solution, but presently it have limitations dealing with wikisource nsPage, mostly when adding fastly complex format, without the help of our beloved tools. Here: https://it.wikisource.org/wiki/Utente:Alex_brollo/livePreview.js a temptative js code to customize the output of livePreview for wikisource needs: output goes into a box superimposed to edit area, draggable if user likes a comparison with wiki code, instead of a comparison with front image. Far from being a professional script, it is just to proof that* it can be done. * If there's any better solution for that issue, please tell me! Alex brollo (from it.source)

IA Upload tool
by Andrea Zanni 16 Oct '16

16 Oct '16

Hello everyone, can I ask you if you are currently using IA Upload tool with IA books that *do not* have a Djvu file? It's few weeks I'm trying to upload this book https://archive.org/details/ComeRuinareLAutoritaImage with the tool, and in theory the IA-upload can now make the djvu by himself, but in this case it's not working. But maybe it's just this book. Did you have any issues? Andrea

Importing books from Project Gutenberg
by Sam Wilson 16 Oct '16

16 Oct '16

Hi all, I've been tinkering with an idea I've had for importing Project Gutenberg books into Wikisource: http://tools.wmflabs.org/pg2ws/ The idea is that, if Wikidata makes a link between a PG ID number and a Wikisource Index page, then we can go through that Index page one page at a time, and copy the page's text from the PG book to the WS page. The interface so far isn't very brilliant, but I'm just trying to figure out if this is worthwhile or not. Basically, it's a matter of selecting the right chunk of text in the right-most text box (the full PG text) and hitting the button to move it left into the centre box. Then cleaning it up (manually and with the magic cleaning button) to make it match the image, and then uploading it to Wikisource. It's a bad tool though, because it doesn't handle the running header, and the copy-across button doesn't do nice things with {{hws}} etc. — not to mention all the other things it doesn't do. Anyway, just thought I'd mention it. :-) Anyone think this is an avenue worth exploring? Certainly I'd love to be able to say we've got everything PG has /and more/! —Sam PS changes made by this tool are all tagged as "OAuth CID: 638" — https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&tagfilter…
