Hello, everyone!
I am pleased to announce that the Community Tech https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Tech team at WMF has posted our August update https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Tech/Ebook_Export_Improvement#August_11,_2020:_Early_findings on the Wikisource Ebook Export Improvement project! This project came out of our 2020 Community Wishlist Survey https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2020, and it was the #1 wish https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2020/Wikisource/Improve_export_of_electronic_books voted on by survey participants.
So, what does this mean? In short, *we want your feedback! https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Community_Tech/Ebook_Export_Improvement#Early_findings:_Request_for_feedback_(August_2020)* Now that we have posted the August update, we want to know what you think. The update includes findings from our community consultation, results from two separate analyses conducted by the team (on improving WSExport reliability & font rendering support), and proposed next steps. It is our hope that people can read our analysis, share their feedback, and engage in a conversation with us on the talk page. Your feedback will be invaluable, and it will help determine the next steps of the project.
Thank you to everyone who has participated in the consultation so far! It's been a joy to explore how we can improve the ebook export experience. Now, we look forward to reading a new round of *feedback on the project talk page! https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Community_Tech/Ebook_Export_Improvement#Early_findings:_Request_for_feedback_(August_2020)*
