Hi Ankry, Asaf and all, On behalf of West Bengal Wikimedians User Group (WBG), I can send formal request to Wikisource User Group to become a partner in all Wikisource related events organized by WBG. For last 4 years, WBG had been running several proofread contests and campaigns on Bengali Wikisource, bringing GLAM institutional and other partnerships and generating general awareness around Wikisource and if it requires a formal declaration to involve Wikisource user group into these initiatives, we will be very happy to do that. We will not ask anything in return but if some expertise, guidance and connections are provided by Wikisource user group members at those events, that would be great for us. All WBG events related to Wikisource will then can be easily incorporated into Wikisource user group annual reports in future without any issue.
If this proposal seems OK to you all, please let me know and I will start the process from our side as soon as possible.
