One week ago there was the Wikimedia conference in Berlin: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Conference_2015
Representing Wikisource there was me, Aubrey, and other users from different Wikisource language versions. There was a small meeting to discuss Wikisource and possible future activities. (group picture: [1]) One of the possible activities for this year could be to organize an international meeting just for wikisourcers. Would be anybody interested in participating/organizing? Additionally I contacted WM Austria and they said that they would discuss providing operational support.
The focus could be in mentoring interested users in how to kickstart their wikisource and how to use advanced tools. There is interest in growing the localized versions of wikisource but not enough people capable to mentor interested users. So there should be workshops to train new users how to use our basic tools, and how to admin a language instance.
And also AffCom asked us to submit last year report, so here it is: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikisource_Community_User_Group/2014_Report
Hopefully you are excited about all what has done so far and all the great things that can be done this year!
Cheers, Micru
