Hi all,
Is anyone interested in presenting at the next CREDIT showcase (next week) https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/CREDIT_showcase and demonstrating the IA Upload tool? It's a good opportunity to get some more visibility for Wikisource tools.
I'd do it, but it happens at 2 am my time.
If you're keen, put your name down at https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/CREDIT
Thanks!

I can think about it, but we should really "check" that IA Upload tool is failproof: last time I used it it failed quite a few times. Not a big deal, but not in a showcase ;-)
On the other hand, this is maybe what we should show them: how much the Wikisource community relies on volunteer-developed infrastructure (IA-upload, Proofread extension, Phe graphs)... Or it's a showcase of "the best" things in our community?

Good point, hmm. :) But yeah, I think it's worth it even if it's just so people can see how much more work needs to be done. Unless it fails... although, come to think of it: the demonstration could just end with "see, it's in the queue, and it'll be processed later!" ;-) Or is that cheating?
It's just meant to be a showcase of whatever's going on, not necessarily finished polished things. (I think; I've only ever watched one on youtube.)
If you don't feel like it, I think Kaldari will do it. But you'd be great! :-)

Not sure if I can on Wednesday, but I'll think about it. Also, a whole session about Wikisource would be very informative, I think, for a lot of people in WMF and inside our movement. But it's much more difficult to do it, and get a whole session for you.

That's a great idea! It needn't be too hard: if a bunch of us had a current project to talk about for five minutes apiece, and we sent an invite to wikimedia-l or somewhere big, it could be done don't you think? Or maybe we just advertise our monthly hangouts more widely?
There's certainly a lack of awareness about Wikisource within the WMF, I think.

I'll ask kaldari about Credit, flying to Berlin right now.
I've long desired to make a presentation specifically for WMF, to show them what we do, how much we rely on our own tools, and how low big, ripe fruits hang. How many issues we have.
In an hour or less we could really give them a big picture.
