Wikisource Community Consultation 2018

edit

Wikisource is an important Wikimedia project and several Indian Wikimedia communities such as Tamil, Telugu, Gujarati, Bengali, Malayalam, Kannada, Odia,Assamese, Marathi Punjabi and Sanskrit are actively working on this project. Although in India we have conducted workshops and training events for Wikipedia, we could not really manage to conduct a dedicated Wiki-event for Wikisource for Indian Wikisource communities and community members. The following table shows the statistics of different Indian Wikisource communities as of 1 September 2018. [TABLE]

Wikisource support for Indian Wikisource communities over Social Media channels

edit

Other than conducting and supporting Wikisource-related workshops and meetups, CIS-A2K also set up dedicated discussion channels for Indic Wikisource communities for discussing Wikisource-related topics as a place to get quick help. As of 31 December 2018, 3 discussion groups like Indic Wikisource, and Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada Wikisource Group were created on Telegram, and Hindi Wikisorce & Indic Wikisource group on Facebook.

Learnings

  • Although on-Wiki discussions are always preferred, social media channels help to connect with the users who feel more comfortable on these channels.
  • The participants of these social media channels discussions should be encouraged to participate on on-Wiki discussions more and more.

Follow-up plan

  • In January 2019, an on-Wiki Wikisource help desk will be created.
