Guillaume - how do we contribute to this consultation? Deryck
Thanks for your interest. What I had in mind was: by starting a discussion on your local community discussion page (the equivalent of the "Village pump" on the English Wikipedia), and then by sharing the results of that discussion here on this list.
But I'm happy to accommodate other methods of contribution that I haven't thought of.
I think that it is a really nice idea Guillom, and I know that English Wikisource has been trying to feed what we see as relevant content through our users. I was going to set something up locally, but I think that all the Wikisources should be collectively reviewing this sort of material and sending as a whole community feedback. As an example when we eventually get music notation extension completed [BIG HINT! AND THAT WOULD BE FANTASTIC, bug 33193] and/or available for testing; or we have changes to ProofreadPage etc., we also have the creation of context relevant pages. This also puts emphasis and control back on to the communities, but it means that we have an available PUSH space.
If something like this was created, I would hope that if there were technical questions or first level response was not able to resolve and issue that their would be the potential availability of the technically literate to answer questions there if poked. There has been occasions where it has been more like pulling teeth to get some attention.
FWIW I am going to forward your email to the WIKISOURCE-L list and continue this discussion for our sister wikis.
Regards.
