Regarding the cotest:
how do you like an international contest, with both local wikisource and
single user chart?
Something like Wiki Loves Monuments, like this:
https://toolserver.org/~emijrp/wlm/stats.php
The real problem is that we *don't* have a way (right now), to associate
clearly proofredings and validation with single users.
I don't know how phe's tools count them, but I'm sure something could be
done.

Hi John,
What sort of cost are we looking at to buy some nifty gadget as a prize?
Is it something that could be done through our Volunteer Support Programme?
Cheers,

Great concept.
I think this would a great little project, and worth the expense for
the WMAu chapter.
I helped run a small wikisource competition with Wikimedia Indonesia
(esp. Ivonne & Siska) to transcribe a 550 page dictionary, and found it to
be very successful, but does require quite a bit of time to run and help
newbies.
Ill write up a proposal if another WMAu member is willing to second and
help organise the competition in Oz.

Subject: [Wikisource-l] Wikisource 10th aniversary proposal :
Proofreading contest
To: "discussion list for Wikisource, the free library" <
wikisource-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Cc:
Talking with some members of Amical Wikimedia about how to celebrate
the 10th aniversary, one of the proposals was to organize a proofreading
contest.
Basically, we would select some books for the participants to proofread
and validate and they would gather points for each page without errors. The
person with the most points would win a Kindle donated by Amical Wikimedia.
However, we have been thinking that with the help of some members of
the Wikisource User Group and other Chapters, then we could escalate it to
an international proofreading contest, instead of being just regional. I
guess ideally we would need 3 kindles and at least a volunteer from each
community to organize it.
What do you think of the idea? Would you or any chapter that would like
to get involved?
