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 attend. The sort of thing that would be useful is a bit of a round table where we have a bit of an agenda, and maybe use of the collaborative notes tools. Sort of things we could have is * where will the Wikisources be in a year? In five years? * what is it that we have to have, and what would we like to have? * what would make our transcription process transformative rather than transactional? Or is that even possible If we promote and plan it properly, we may even be able to get a session to have the WMF involved with their teams for where and how they plan to support and progress the sisters in general, and specifically what do they have in place/mind for the Wikisources to foster development. I see that on the agenda is an idea for Wikidata for Wikisource. I would like to see some planning for what can be done for a three way process for the injection of the data into Wikidata (work, edition and author), while at the same time uploading the file to Commons, and getting the data to the WS I also see that the Wikidata for Wikisource, may also have the perspective of Wikisource for Wikidata as this needs to be a two way process, and the tools at the moment focus on the WPs interaction, but what tools do we need to make ''our'' data more resilient and integrated.
