Hello everyone,
I hope you are all healthy and safe during these difficult times. I expect that this news might cheer all Wikisource enthusiasts out there!
I am happy to introduce Sohom Datta https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/p/Soda/! He is one of the students that the Wikimedia Foundation has selected for the current round of Google Summer of Code. He is a first year student of Bachelor’s in Computer Science and Engineering. He will be working on creating a widget to easily create pagelists on Wikisource. Sam Wilson (primary mentor) and I (co-mentor) will be mentoring this project.
This project was prioritized because Index creation wizard https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2020/Wikisource/Index_creation_wizard was one of the highly voted proposals in Community Wishlist Survey 2020 https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2020, coming at 6th spot, but couldn’t make it to the Top 5. More updates on the next steps related to the Wishlist process will follow shortly.
Further details and progress related to this project can tracked on the related phabricator ticket:

Stay Safe!

Hi all,
This is indeed an excellent news that brightens my day. Welcome Sohom Datta!
I totally trust the co-mentors to help him but is there something that we - the community - can do to help?
Cheers, ~nicolas

Yes I reckon so! Not quite yet, but at some point we'll definitely have something to test and will be wanting users to explore it on Beta Wikisource and give feedback. My feeling is that there are a bunch of different workflows that people use to construct pagelists, and the new widget is going to hopefully help with the most normal ~70% of those — it won't do everything, but that common task of looking up a scan's page number will be front and centre and accessible right in the Index editing form. :)
