After Indic Wikisource Community Consultation 2018 in Kolkata in 2018, the CIS-A2K conducted the Wikisource workshops in different languages. Among them were Punjabi Wikisource Workshop, Patiala, Gujarati Wikisource Workshop, Ahmedabad Marathi Wikisource Workshop, Pavel, Tamil Wikisource Workshop, Salem and Assamese Wikisource Workshop, Guwahati Wikisource community. CIS-A2K conducted all these Wikisource workshops in 2019.
Today, after 3 years of the Covid Pandemic, we want to go back again to those Wikisource language communities, Where the language community stands today after we planned and worked three years ago for those communities. We will plan to revisit to same communities to discuss, develop, and strengthen to the next level.
CIS-A2K will conduct an advanced level Wikisource workshop, continuous sustainable road maps, future plan, and GLAM development towards Wikisource project in respective languages.
The broad goals of skill-building workshop are:
- to promote, develop, strengthen, and support the collaboration between Tamil Wikisource users.
- to support sharing the knowledge, experience and best practices among participants, and offer a space to improve their skills, discuss persistent issues and cherish each other’s work.
- to support the growth of Tamil Wikisource Community by connecting them with experienced proofreader.
- to document the learning from various activities, which include projects, campaigns, events, etc. by community members in the past years, for later use.
- to strategize for the next few years, on how we can together shape up the movement in India and contribute to the growth of the South Asia region at large.
