Saturday will be the day for the most important discussions. The aim of this day is come up with a "manifesto" of Wikisource, and a roadmap for the near future.
We will discuss:
- What is Wikisource?
- Differences and similarities with related projects as Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Internet Archive, Project Gutenberg, etc.
- What is needed for Wikisource to scale up? Setting of priorities.
- Wikisource and Wikidata?
For those who don't want to participate in the discussion (but you're encouraged to), there will be always the possibility of working in the hacking space.
