I've been preparing a document that explains how the three GsoC-related
projects will affect Wikisource and how book metadata could be connected
with Wikidata

All the tools are supposed to be opt-in, so no community will be forced to
take any tool or way of working they don't want to.
I would appreciate your feedback about the draft because we would like to
send a message to the most active users in all wikisources and invite them
to join this mailing list and the proposed Wikisource User Group [1]
The tentative list that Andrea has been preparing is here. Please
expand/reduce as you feel convenient. You know better who could be
interested!

Usually we would have preferred to use the Central Discussions pages only,
but experience shows that this messages tend to be ignored, maybe there are
too many of them.
Since in this case the changes/improvements are quite big, we believe that
it is important to reach out to as many users as possible to give them the
opportunity to participate in the discussions and voice their opinion.
Would be anyone available to help to write the invitation or translate it
into other languages?
Cheers
