I've been preparing a document that explains how the three GsoC-related projects will affect Wikisource and how book metadata could be connected with Wikidata https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Micru/Wikisource_across_projects All the tools are supposed to be opt-in, so no community will be forced to take any tool or way of working they don't want to. I would appreciate your feedback about the draft because we would like to send a message to the most active users in all wikisources and invite them to join this mailing list and the proposed Wikisource User Group [1] The tentative list that Andrea has been preparing is here. Please expand/reduce as you feel convenient. You know better who could be interested! https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_message_delivery/Targets/Wikisource_… Usually we would have preferred to use the Central Discussions pages only, but experience shows that this messages tend to be ignored, maybe there are too many of them. Since in this case the changes/improvements are quite big, we believe that it is important to reach out to as many users as possible to give them the opportunity to participate in the discussions and voice their opinion. Would be anyone available to help to write the invitation or translate it into other languages?

Hi, I would like to help with writing the message so that I become familiar with the community. I wouldn't be able to help with translation because my French is very basic and I don't know other mentioned languages. Thank You, Aarti --Rtdwivedi On Wed, Jun 26, 2013 at 9:07 PM, David Cuenca &lt;dacuetu(a)gmail.com <mailto:dacuetu@gmail.com>> wrote: I've been preparing a document that explains how the three GsoC-related projects will affect Wikisource and how book metadata could be connected with Wikidata https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Micru/Wikisource_across_projects All the tools are supposed to be opt-in, so no community will be forced to take any tool or way of working they don't want to.
