Thanks, Jayanta, is very important that you keep track of this progress. Have you talked with Sam Wilson about this? There could be many ways in which the WMF can help you analyze this important moment of the Indic community, and it's also very important to them (and their donors) to understand how do they have an impact. Google OCR is a "simple thing", but we ("Western wikisources) learned very late that OCR was not available in many Indic languages. I have shown many people in the WMF the stats about Telugu Wikisource (the peak in the chart) and it's crucial that many other people inside WMF is aware of that. The Indic Wikisource community can show that there are very "cheap" things the WMF can do to help their communities thrive. The Indic Wikisource community thus has a big responsability ;-) Aubrey On Wed, Nov 2, 2016 at 7:02 PM, Jayanta Nath <jayantanth(a)gmail.com> wrote: _________________________________________________ Wikisource-l mailing list Wikisource-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikisource-l

I guess that the "100 livres en 100 jours <https://fr.wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Accueil/100wikijours>" (100 books in 100 days) challenge help somewhat. The goal is to treat a whole new book everyday. No anticipation work allowed. Missing the goal a single day reset the counter.

After implementing Google OCR script to our all Indic Wikisource , they are growing rapidly. Here is the few stats ans their top three rank... As per Number of article 1. Sanskrit Wikisource ( 15445 pages) - supported by 0.05% scan pages. 2. Telugu Wikisource ( 11707 pages) - supported by 24.3% scan pages. 3. Kannada Wikisource ( 7864 pages) - supported by 0.99% scan pages. As per Number of page Validation 1. Telugu Wikisource ( 18142 pages) 2. Tamil Wikisource ( 5167 pages) 3. Gujarati Wikisource ( 3729 pages) As per Number of page Proofread 1. Telugu Wikisource ( 20213 pages) 2. Malayalam Wikisource ( 8065 pages) 3. Tamil Wikisource ( 7737 pages) As per percentage supported by scan pages. 1. Bengali Wikisource (25.90%) 2. Telugu Wikisource ( 24.30%) 3. Gujarati Wikisource (17.51%) I want to specially mention that there are no visible improvement at Marathi and Assamese Wikisource. For Sanskrit and Kannada Wikisource, they need to exploring their work of proofreaded text towards scan page support.

Cdlt, ~nicolas

I go sometimes into fr.source as a contributor, even if my French is very poor; I appreciate a lot fr.source editing tools for proofreading, they document a deep interest about any trick to make editing faster, safer, and more comfortable. This "evidence of care" is very rewarding for any contributor. Alex

It would be great if a common page in meta or mul.ws <http://mul.ws> is created to document all the best practices, gadgets, tools, scripts which are used by every language communities specially the big ones. That would help the smaller communities to uplift themselves and draw more editors.
