Wikisource for Alaska Native Elder stories?
by Pine W 24 Feb '16

24 Feb '16

Hi Wikisourcers, We in Cascadia Wikimedians have been contacted regarding the topic of Wikimedia resources that could be used to host materials related to Alaska Native Elder stories. I'm familiar with Wikisource largely from what I've heard about it. I've only made one edit. Is there an experienced Wikisourcer who might be available for me to meet with via IRC or Hangouts sometime, so that I can get familiar with the basics and provide appropriate guidance regarding the possibility of uploading Alaska Native Elder stories to Wikisource? Thanks! Pine

Vote for Google OCR-Wikisource integration in 2015 community wishlist
by Bodhisattwa Mandal 21 Feb '16

21 Feb '16

Hi, For a long time Indic languages Wikisource projects depended totally on manual proofreading, which not only wasted a lot of time, but also a lot of energy. Recently Google has released OCR software for more than 20 Indic languages, along with other Asian languages. This software is far far better and accurate than the previous OCRs. But it has many limitations. Uploading the same large file two times (one time for Google OCR and another at Commons) is not an easy solution for most of the contributors, as Internet connection is way slow in India. Now if we develop a tool which can feed the uploaded pdf or djvu files of Commons directly to Google OCRs, so that uploading them 2 times can be avoided. This was proposed in 2015 community wishlist. Now, as the voting procedure for the wishlist has been started, the proposal needs your support. Please follow the link- https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2015_Community_Wishlist_Survey/Wikisource#T… FYI, this proposal was also accepted as a highest priority need at the 2015 Wikisource Conference in Vienna. (https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/wscon2015needs) Regards -- Bodhisattwa Mandal Administrator, Bengali Wikipedia ''Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge.''

Fwd: Do most US authors still only enjoy a copyright term of life plus 50 in the EU?

Interesting article on the wonders of the rule of the shorter term (and of tight USA-Canada library distribution ties!): http://kluwercopyrightblog.com/2014/01/27/do-most-us-authors-still-only-enj… Nemo

New Google Books cover/copyright stance?
by Federico Leva (Nemo) 16 Feb '16

16 Feb '16

I stumbled upon a PDF from a Nationa Library of Naples scan: https://github.com/rohit-dua/BUB/files/132335/Comedy_of_the_Mistake_By_Sir_… The usual ugly menace in the first page (arguably copyfraud) disappeared, instead I only see once sentence: «This is a reproduction of a library book that was digitized by Google as part of an ongoing effort to preserve the information in books and make it universally accessible», followed by logo, domain and QR code. By the way, I'm still not sure of the answer to http://webapps.stackexchange.com/q/76234/55370 Nemo

Report on the Wikisource Conference
by Claudia Garád 10 Feb '16

10 Feb '16

Hey Wikisourcians, the WMAT team has been working on the PEG report on our conference for a while - we are almost finished with our input and now we wanted to ask for your help: While we could cover all the organizational and budget related tasks and add some learnings as well as a rough description of what happend during our time together in Vienna, we cannot sum up the content and topics that were covered in the various sessions, as we mostly were not present. So please help us to make this report a valuable resource for yourselves as well as for future hosts and organizers and show interested other Wikimedians the awesome things you achieved during and after the event and what the next steps will be. I think especially the section "Activities" in the beginning could use a more detailed record of the work that was done during the three days. *The deadline for the report is February 11.* For your input: link to the report https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG/WCUG_Wikisource/Wikisource_Confe… For your information: link to the detailed results from the participants survey https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikisource_Community_User_Group/Wikisource_… Thank you! Claudia -- Claudia Garád Geschäftsführerin Wikimedia Österreich - Verein zur Förderung Freien Wissens www.wikimedia.at

Discourse for Wikisource mailing list
by Ad Huikeshoven 10 Feb '16

10 Feb '16

Hi, Aubrey and Sam would like to try Discourse as an alternative for the wikisource-l mailing list. A pilot installation is up and running at https://discourse.wmflabs.org/. There is a separate category for wikisource-l related discussions on the Discourse site. Members can create new posts by mailing to wmflabsdiscourse+wikisource-l(a)gmail.com. The pilot installation is to test things out. Users of Discourse can download their posts in a .csv file. Admins can download backups - which are Postgress database tables. I'm trying to figure out to export/download all posts of all users. Discourse uses javascript, as does Facebook, Twitter and many other sites. For the Wikimedia Discourse installation to be a succesful pilot it has to be a real alternative for a mailing list like wikisource-l. Users want to read posts in their mail, and want to be able to reply to posts by mail, without having to visit the site. Users who have signed up at https:// discourse.wmflabs.org/ will receive new posts by default in their mailbox. Mail preferences can be individually set. Wikimedia Discourse users can reply by mail to posts received by mail. Members of Wikimedia Discourse can mail new posts. Please let me know if anything is missing at Wikimedia Discourse that the current wikisource-l mailing list does have. Sign up for an account at https://discourse.wmflabs.org/ to discover the extras Discourse offers. Wikimedia Discourse users can earn barnstars for example, isn't that nice? Please note that by subscribing to the wikisource-l mailing list your mailing list subscription isn't linked to any account at any Wikimedia wiki, neither is your mail address. For the wikisource-l mailing list you will have to provide a mail address and after confirmation mailman will mail you a password. If you want to sign up at https://discourse .wmflabs.org/ you will have to provide a mail address and pick a password yourself. Currently their is no link between https://discourse.wmflabs.org/ accounts and any account at any Wikimedia wiki, nor is their link with mail addresses, just like it as with the wikisource-l mailing list. A phabricator ticket requesting SSO or Oauth 1.0 or Oauth 2.0 can be found at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T124691. Currently there are no resources available for writing an Oauth 1.0 plugin for Wikimedia Discourse, neither are there resources available for moving MediaWiki authentification from Oauth 1.0 to Oauth 2.0. As said, SSO or Oauth is a 'nice to have' and doesn't have to block a succesful pilot. Secure communication is a must. The Discourse installation is now configured to default to use SSL, so you will always see https://. Here is a short list of places where the Discourse installation can be discussed: - https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Discourse - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Discourse - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T124690 and of course at the wikisource-l mailing list and at https://discourse .wmflabs.org/. Best regards, Ad Huikeshoven
