@Orbilius, I will get in touch with you to start working on the Italian Case Study.
@Gerard: There aren't a lot of statistics but http://francisco.dance/wikigrowth/ might help. If you check the statistics for Wikisource, you will see that Indic Wikisources are the ones with the maximum growth in the last year. These statistics aren't designed for Wikisource but this still shows the value that the Indic communities see in Wikisource especially when there is an unavailability of online sources (Project Gutenberg etc.)

Hi everyone,
I am re-sending this email as the previous one sent on April 8 didn't go through.
So, as an effort to document projects related to Wikisource, we have started by writing the first case study about *Bengali Wikisource 10th Anniversary Proofreading Contest https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Case_studies/Bengali_Wikisource_10th_Anniversary_Proofreading_Contest* held in 2017 with the help of contest organizers Bodhisattwa https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Bodhisattwa and Jayantanth https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Jayantanth.
If you know about, or have organized interesting Wikisource related projects that you would like to be documented in form of a case study, feel free to reach out to me at sgill[image: ﹫]wikimedia.org.
