My goal is for Wikisource *editors* to reply, but I will be happy for all

The more answers, the better.
I would suggest you to ask your community for the use of the Sitenotice.

Thanks Econterms.
The right link is:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Wikisource_training_conferenc…
I just subscribed myself.
That could be a great project to fall under the umbrella of the
Wikisource
User Group.
(BTW, you all got a message in your Meta talk page).
