Does anybody know who is operating this repository? https://github.com/Wikisource
Would it be possible to add more admins to make it the official repository for Wikisource scripts?
Thanks! Micru
That's a good idea. I'd never noticed it before. I could change ownership of this to it, if that was a good idea: https://github.com/samwilson/wikisource-cat-browser
-sam.

Also, Amir created this great script that adds "wikilinks" within books on Wikisource (right now, it adds the "Cited Author" template for found authors, in Italian Wikisource, but it can easily adapted). https://github.com/Ladsgroup/Author-adder
Github is hugely popular, and it would be very helpful to leave our code there.

Thrasibule appears to have uploaded to ocr-tools, so we can ask there for a starter.

Looks like they are most active on French Wikisource:
https://fr.wikisource.org/wiki/Discussion_utilisateur:Thrasibule
(and have email enabled)
@Nicolas: do you know this user? Could you ask him or her to add more participants to the repository so it becomes the official Wikisource github?
Thanks! Micru

No I don't know him/her/it but I just send a mail.
In the other hand, I know Thibaut the second contributor (who was at Wikimania Washington with Tpt and I think he is already on this list). I send him a mail too.

I feel github as a very difficult environment, recently I've been discouraged one more since I found that I can't install current version of the software into my PC, that runs Windows XP. Unluckily, both my skills and my hardware are poor.
IMHO it could be an idea to couple github repository with *one* centralized wikisource page (into oldwikisource?) where to post "code stubs" far from optimized, but sometimes running decent ideas, that could inspire sufficiently skilled programmers.

Wiki pages are not for code review. Proven by code reviewing extension from mediawiki.org.
Wiki pages cannot do branch, merge, rebase, bisect, code review (+2~-2) etc etc.

Github has one possible solution for this problem, called Gists (https://gist.github.com/) — a Gist is one or more files stored online and available for sharing or download with minimal information on who created them. Github tracks the version history of the files, who contributed to it, and allows any user to “fork” (duplicate) a Gist, while preserving the previous version history and linking back to the original Gist. That’s what I use to store and share code stubs! If you want to see what it looks like, here is a script I used to find a list of US places that had the same name as a state: https://gist.github.com/gaurav/1208725
cheers, Gaurav

Ciao Alex,

A little clarification and some links for you.
GitHub is not an environment, it is just a website that, basically, offer hosting for git repositories and other convenient functionalities[*]. There are many such websites, for example Bitbucket or GitLab/Gitorious. GitHub is very popular, it is backed by a big company (which basically earns its money selling private hosting space for (private) repositories) and for this reason they have developed a GitHub dedicated GUI application for Windows that you can use to interact with repositories on GitHub.
My point is, you don't actually need to use that application to work with a git repository - whether it is hosted on GitHub, on a another similar website/service or on your own server - you just need git on Windows.
I have no experience about using git on Windows but from a quick search the best project out there seems to be msygit (https://msysgit.github.io/), here you can find a guide[1]. If you are used to SVN and TortoiseSVN I think that you may find TortoiseGIT[2] more familiar.
HTH.
Ciao,
C [1] https://nathanj.github.io/gitguide/tour.html [2] https://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/ [*] Git is a version control system, and as such it does not have access control (for example). if you need a way to discriminate who can have read/write access to a given git repository you need to have some software "in front" of your git repo to manage access control. GitHub offer this kind of functionality (and a billion more)

Thrasibule added Tpt. Thomas did you confirm ?
Is someone else interrested? Thomas, can you add them?

(I don't have particular Wikisource code, but am comfortable with [and active on] GitHub, so I'm happy to co-administrate the group, if needed.)

As there is interest by multiple people, I'd like to be an "admin" (owner?) there as well, so that I can copy ("fork") Wikisource-relevant repositories into it for the sake of discoverability.

Forking is not copying. Unexperienced people may think repositories hosted under the "Wikisource" organization are the 'official' and the most up-to-date versions. We'd end up like https://github.com/tool-labs/ricordisamoa-labs... Why not to ask maintainers first?

I agree, I don't think it's a good idea for the org to have forks of elsewhere-updated repos. If they're Wikisource-specific things, then it'd be great to have the master repo under /wikisource (if the maintainer is keen).
For discoverability, I think a page on oldwikisource or meta, listing all Wikisource-related software, would be great. Then it wouldn't be limited to GitHub only, and the GitHub org could have it as it's homepage. (By the way, I set oldwikisource to be the org's homepage yesterday.)

It is. What you want to say is that it's not only that. Wiki lists of repositories never worked in a decade of attempts, but of course I can't stop you from the Nth failure. :) In the meanwhile I'm keeping lists at https://www.openhub.net/orgs/wikimedia

Forks are not updated automatically.
You wanted to mean mirror?
