Hello everyone,

There have been community/affiliate led efforts in the past that focus on Wikimedia technology and also on building thematic or regional hubs.

For instance, the OpenRefine Project Grant:

And the Language Hub grant:

I was wondering if Wikisource Community User Group can put up a grant focusing on Wikisource technology and if there is a possibility for one or more affiliates to support as fiscal sponsor(s) on this project. The grant can focus on coordinating among Wikisource communities for prioritization of technical long standing tasks along with new featurss and hiring a couple of developers to work on them.

Looking forward to the members of the User Group and interested Wikimedia affiliates for any thoughts and interest in this topic.

P.S. This topic was briefly discussed on the Telegram group and it was suggested to move it here.

Regards Satdeep
