Re: [Wikimedia-l] Renewal of the Recognition to Wikisource Community User Group

Yes! Thank you Carlos and all the AffCom for the renewal. It's a good moment for Wikisource (as an international project), and we are already preparing a survey for the whole community, to get feedbacks and opinions for future projects. We are trying really hard to coordinate and build a committed, international community. Also, we are setting up and international conference in Austria, this fall. We hope that our efforts will be enough to build a strong and working collaboration with Chapters and the Wikimedia Foundation: unfortunately, Wikisource projects are really in need of serious development (especially in terms of software). The fun part is that cheap, low-hanging fruits are still to be achieved. My favourite example is that the Wikisource Proofreading contest produces every year thousands of proofread and validated pages, in just one week, with little organization needed (and almost no budget).
