I just subscribed myself.
That could be a great project to fall under the umbrella of the Wikisource
User Group.
(BTW, you all got a message in your Meta talk page).

Tangentially, regarding:
Are there real-life activities to involve them?
Have any plan for a
future face-to-face meeting?
I proposed a track or conference in North America for Wikisource training
and discussion. Would welcome support or other feedback here:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Wikisource_training_conferenc…
That page is at an "IdeaLab" space for blue-sky proposals. If people
agree on the idea it will be feasible to apply for funding from WMF for
travel, etc. -- econterms (peter)

Thank Erasmo.
Would you please copy and paste your answers here ?

If the group cannot come up with a joint reply, it's OK I think to answer
personally, one by one.

My answers:
Q: Currently you are using an individual engagement grant, what about the
future when the grant has finished or spent? How you will fund your UG?
A: The UG does not need funding per se. As explained in the "Transforming
words into action" section of the UG page, only some projects will require
monetary support. When money is needed, grants can be used.
Q: I want to know if you are thinking in future. Are you thinking in a
kind of organization for your UG like a proposal of Board, structure or
membership requirements for WS UG?
A: Not yet. Personally, the UG will be primarily a means for discussion.
Wikisource language communities should interact more.
If organization is needed, I propose the election of three or four
leaders. If membership requirements are needed, I propose the following
ones. "You can join the UG if you have made 15+ (fifteen or more) edits to
Wikisource _and_ your first one dates back to 5+ (five or more) days ago."
Q: Until now Aubrey and Micru are the most active in the UG, what about
the rest of supporters? Are they really involved? Are there real-life
activities to involve them? Have any plan for a future face-to-face meeting?
A: You can find me online, though I could not currently take part in any
real-life activity or meeting. Discussions are among my favorite activities.
I'd sometimes like more radical decisions instead of having legacy around.
"Don't be afraid of innovations" could/will be one of the UG's
principles.
