Report on the Wikisource Conference
by Claudia Garád 04 Feb '16

04 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

by Andrea Zanni 03 Feb '16

03 Feb '16

Hi guys, forwarding this as a reminder. I really encourage you to spend time on the community consultation, is not something you can do in 5 minutes. But Lila is present, reads all the comments and try to engage people. I of course talked about Wikisource :-D Start here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2016_Strategy/Community_consultation Cheers Aubrey ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Lila Tretikov <lila(a)wikimedia.org> Date: Tue, Jan 19, 2016 at 2:37 AM Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Launch of Community Consultation on strategic approaches To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Dear Wikimedians, We are excited to have you participate in an important Community Engagement regarding our strategic approaches. This is a major step to help us prioritize the work of the Foundation beginning in July 2016 and running for the next 12 to 24 months thereafter into a strategic plan. Throughout 2015 the Foundation has been exploring how to prioritize its work to best support the movement's goals, set forth, but not yet reached, in the 2010-15 strategic plan. The strategic approaches presented here are based on our vision, strategy consultations in 2010 <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/2010-2015> and 2015 <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2015_Strategy/Community_consultation>, research on external impacts, and input from staff and a few small community think groups on key challenges and potential solutions. Timeline: These are our target dates for this process. - January 11: Put up pages for translation (done) - January 18: Launch of community consultation on key questions - February 15: Close of consultation - By February 26: Release synthesis of consultation - By March 4: Publish first draft strategy for comment We appreciate your time and efforts to help guide the Foundation in its work to support the movement. Warm regards, Lila _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines New messages to: Wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>

Fwd: [Wikimediaindia-l] Google's Optical Character Recognition software now works with all South Asian languages

Discourse for Wikisource mailing list
by Andrea Zanni 20 Jan '16

20 Jan '16

Luis Villa, from WMF, asks if there is a list that wants to try Discourse: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2016-January/081244.html Discourse is a (great) software for discussion, and it could be very useful for giving order to the many mailing lists that we have in the Wikimedia world. This list is active but not too much, so I'm asking you if we want to propose as guinea pigs :-) Many great open source projects use Discourse, so we are far from being pioneers, and from what I've seen we could really benefit from the many features the software has. Just look it yourselves: discourse.org Aubrey

Template help needed
by Bodhisattwa Mandal 18 Jan '16

18 Jan '16

Hi, I need a template solution for the following proof-reading problem I faced in Bengali Wikisource. There is a reference in Page 1 which is continued in Page 2. I have used the following code in Page 1:- <ref> Text of Page 1 reference and <includeonly>text of Page 2 reference</includeonly></ref> It was okay while proof-reading, but when it was transcluded in mainspace, its not working. There the text of Page 2 reference is not shown. Can anyone help me with a solution? Do we need some more templates? Thanks. -- Bodhisattwa

Wikisource could host most of it, if the oral history is recorded from a native speaker and direct cultural participant. There was a good talk about this at the Hong Kong Wikimania. The recording would be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, and then the transcription can be created on the Multilingual Wikisource, or a more appropriate Wikisource if one exists for the language, and it is a valid source because it has appropriate provenance. Some Wikisource might reject this type of work, especially if the provenance was not high quality, but if provenance is high quality it is a valid type of source. -- John Vandenberg
