Hi, It sounds good to me. I add myself about the National Library of France partnership (an old one but still interresting with useful lessons learned). Ping : JeanFred : are you available to talk with me? Talking about the BAnQ partenership would be great too (Ernest are you available?). For

Re: [Wikisource-l] Wikisource Conference, Wien, November 20-22

Thanks Mounir, these are helpful suggestions. For the programme, I'd love for it to be community-driven, maybe it's important to clarify that in the application. I really think that is the community that has to decide what to do in those days, and we already have some ideas. So, please make other

Interestingly while we have a number of Australians who are very active in the enWS space, I doubt that we will all (any?) will be able to make the trek to Vienna, as fantastic as that would be. It would be good if there was some capacity for a limited internet session for those who cannot

Have the organizers asked Quim Gil (q...@wikimedia.org) at the Foundation for support from the development team and from the tool labs if we want to have people with us that could fix some of the problems easily while we're at it? The foundation would surely be gald to support such an event with

Re: [Wikisource-l] Wikisource Conference, Wien, November 20-22

Thank you so much for organising this event! I am able to attend (yeah!) and ready to act as the fallback guy if there is no other volunteer to do technical talks. Are some people interested to organise a small Wikisource hackathon before the conference (I'll be on holidays the week before the

Re: [Wikisource-l] Wikisource Conference, Wien, November 20-22

I am very excited for this conference and happy that we listen a lot to the request of others who show concern. I remember making this suggestion at the WMCON 15 and am glad to finally see it coming to life. I however wish to say that upon reading the conference page on Meta, I added a new line
