Thank you for starting the report, Ankry! I think it should be clear what the user group is claiming as an activity. For instance, was the usergroup involved in the creation of the Balinese and Javanese Wikisource projects, mentioned under "Milestones"? If so, the report should explain how the group was involved; if it is just a mention of a milestone for Wikisource (as distinct from a milestone for the Wikisource Community User Group), it should be clearly separated from the main section of the report, which should be devoted to activities and communications of the WCUG. Likewise, was the user group involved in planning or organizing the events mentioned? If so, it should be stated explicitly. (And if the involvement was only that a member of the user group presented at the event, then *that* should be stated explicitly (e.g. "WCUG member X presented a session on Y at event Z"), avoiding the impression the event itself is [co-]organized by the user group.)

I think that information like "WCUG member X presented a session on Y at event Z" would be hard to manage in this form as (1) we have no formally managed membership at the moment (maybe we should change this and ask interested people for formal declarations at regular intervals? - the list on meta is unmaintained and contains initial declarations only) and (2) most of us are also members of other formal affiliates and while our activity in specific fields can be separated internally, this separation would be not verifiable without clear declarations of these members (should we ask them for such declarations concerning any Wikisource related activity?) For example, while I am a member of WMPL and participated in the organization committee of Źródłosłów 2021, I clearly declared to WMPL that I represent the community, not WMPL during the organizational process. But neither information about roles of the conference organizing committee members, nor this declaration is anywhere in public. Only the results of this activity are public. And I am active in WMPL in non-Wikisource related fields and also in some Wikisource-related fields. Ankry W dniu 13.11.2021 o 20:12, Asaf Bartov pisze: Thank you for starting the report, Ankry!

Hi Ankry, Asaf and all, On behalf of West Bengal Wikimedians User Group (WBG), I can send formal request to Wikisource User Group to become a partner in all Wikisource related events organized by WBG. For last 4 years, WBG had been running several proofread contests and campaigns on Bengali Wikisource, bringing GLAM institutional and other partnerships and generating general awareness around Wikisource and if it requires a formal declaration to involve Wikisource user group into these initiatives, we will be very happy to do that. We will not ask anything in return but if some expertise, guidance and connections are provided by Wikisource user group members at those events, that would be great for us. All WBG events related to Wikisource will then can be easily incorporated into Wikisource user group annual reports in future without any issue. If this proposal seems OK to you all, please let me know and I will start the process from our side as soon as possible.
