Project idea
editWhat is the problem you're trying to solve?
editWikisource has easy activities for new people to do. But it is hard to find them, unless you know what you're looking for. And it seems that some language versions do this better than others.
What is your solution?
editMore obvious ways to get newbies started with easy tasks like proofreading and verification could keep Wikisource growing. Getting Started tours? Clear calls to actions to quick start guides? Other experiments?
Project goals
edit- Learn what is working well for some languages & replicate them to others where appropriate.
- Experiment with new onboarding methods
- Increase active editors on Wikisource

- I'd love to fund someone else to work on a project like this. I'd also be happy to play the role of newbie testing things out :) Anyone interested? 00:48, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
