Wikisource Technical Drives

edit

Why

edit

The Wikisource project was our main focus area of our a2k team last year and we are planning to continue the same project focus area in the coming year. At present, none of the affiliate institutes of Wikimedia foundation have focused on such a Wikisource project.

Background: In each year Wikimedia tech team wants Community Wishlist about the technical issues from the community. The tech team works for the top 5 voted technical issues. But Wikisource community is very small compare to Wikipedia or commons. So our Wikisource issues were unattended because of a lack of votes, but each Task is very essential for Wikisource community.

Problem

edit

Every year Wikimedia foundation does a Community Wishlist Survey for technical issues. But the technical teamwork only the top five issues among all Wikimedia Foundation projects. So the major issues facing the whole Wikisource community have been unattended. Below the link to the past issues raised by the community. There are plenty of Wikisource fabricator tasks unattended.

How

edit

We need two dedicated technical staff to complete (on a contractual basis) the technical issues. One senior staff and one junior staff.
