Wikimedia Community User Group Uganda/WikiSource+Luganda 2024
Wikisource is an online digital library of free-content textual sources on a wiki, operated by the Wikimedia Foundation. Wikisource is the name of the project as a whole and the name for each instance of that project (each instance usually representing a different language); multiple Wikisources make up the overall project of Wikisource. The project's aim is to host all forms of free text, in many languages, and translations.

This is in commemoration of the World Indegenous Languages day .Though it is a one day in-person event, we will continue engaging the them up 28 March 2024 through a proofread-a-thon for Luganda texts.
