That's a great idea! It needn't be too hard: if a bunch of us had a current project to talk about for five minutes apiece, and we sent an invite to wikimedia-l or somewhere big, it could be done don't you think? Or maybe we just advertise our monthly hangouts more widely?

There's certainly  a lack of awareness about Wikisource within the WMF, I think.

Not sure if I can on Wednesday, but I'll think about it.
Also, a whole session about Wikisource would be very informative, I think,
for a lot of people in WMF and inside our movement.
But it's much more difficult to do it, and get a whole session for you.

Good point, hmm. :) But yeah, I think it's worth it even if it's just so people can see how much more work needs to be done. Unless it fails... although, come to think of it: the demonstration could just end with "see, it's in the queue, and it'll be processed later!" ;-) Or is that cheating?

It's just meant to be a showcase of whatever's going on, not necessarily finished polished things. (I think; I've only ever watched one on youtube.)

If you don't feel like it, I think Kaldari will do it. But you'd be great! :-)

I can think about it,
but we should really "check" that IA Upload tool is failproof:
last time I used it it failed quite a few times.
Not a big deal, but not in a showcase ;-)
On the other hand, this is maybe what we should show them:
how much the Wikisource community relies on volunteer-developed
infrastructure (IA-upload, Proofread extension, Phe graphs)...
Or it's a showcase of "the best" things in our community?

Hi all,

Is anyone interested in presenting at the next CREDIT showcase (next
the IA Upload tool? It's a good opportunity to get some more visibility
for Wikisource tools.

I'd do it, but it happens at 2 am my time.

If you're keen, put your name down at

Thanks!
