I volunteer to be the ambassador for the Italian Wikisource.

I also think that the global contest would be more difficult and challenging, but definetely *cooler*.

We could get support from the Wikimedia Foundation blog ans social media, and even from local Wikipedias,

but we need to move *fast*. We only have 3 weeks.

So far 3 chapter organizations have expressed interest supporting the 10th aniversary Wikisource proofreading contest (planned from 24 to 30 Nov):

- Wikimedia DC
- Wikimedia Italy

- Amical Wikimedia

However, there is a question that needs to be resolved: shall we do a big global contest or three independent contests?

With the first option we would put the prices offered by each chapter in a "pool" (1 e-reader from each chapter) and then the rankings will be shared between all partipants in all interested wikisources (we would need at least a coordinator for each wikisource).

With the second option each prize would be for the winner at the local wikisource offering the prize.

I would prefer a global contest, even if it requires more volunteers and more organizational work, I think it is important to have solidarity between chapters and wikisources.

What do you think?

Cheers,
