I don't think the endorsement in itself is of great importance, in the sense that it's broad enough to both rise general consensus in the community and have no significant commitment consequences (so far, we will see what the next phase will come out with).

But showing the existence and activeness of the Wikisource Community User Group seems a good idea. Actually I think it makes far more sense for thematic groups than for the usual suspect like chapters.

So, as far as I'm concerned, yes it's ok and thank you for doing so.

If it's ok for you, today I will endorse the new Wikimedia strategy[1]

on behalf of the Wikisource Community User Group.

I participated in the early drafting of the strategy (until May-June), but later on unfortunately I didn't follow it closely.

I think the new strategy is open enough to be include a lot of what we do in Wikisource, and I hope that this will lead to increased support from Wikimedia Foundation and Chapters to our project.
