Hello,

Does anyone running education or GLAM programs use WikiVoyage, WikiSource,
WikiSpecies, or WikiNews in their programs? If so, how do you use them? I
can imagine some possibilities for them, but I can't recall ever them being
used in education or GLAM programs.

Thanks,

Pine

Hi Pine, et. al.

I am seeing a lot of WikiSource in GLAM projects, including:

- https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:WikiProject_NARA
- https://fr.wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:BAnQ
- https://fr.wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Aider_pour_la_livraison_BnF
- https://it.wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Collaborazioni

And I am also hearing about similar projects in Indic languages, though not
quite as well documented -- I would love to hear about more GLAM projects
in Wikisource :)

Cheers,

Alex

Thanks everyone. I might suggest that we keep a centralized list of
GLAM+STEM and Education projects, probably on the Outreach wiki, to
facilitate awareness and communication. As far as I know, we currently have
no easy way to figure out what projects are planned, are happening, or have
happened. These don't need to be elaborate reports; a simple list of
locations and dates with links to the project pages would be great.

Alex, is this something that you and Tighe could look into coordinating?

Thanks,

Pine

Hi Pine.
There are some reports here on the Wikisource Community User Group page:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikisource_Community_User_Group#Updates

Also, if you want some updates make sure to subscribe to the wikisource-l

Hi Pine,

We made a contest in Wikisource [1]. The results were very good, we made
1238 new pages but theyÂŽre very few participants. If you need something
else I would love to chat with you.

Regards.

Thanks everyone, this is good to know. The attention to WikiSource is
interesting and more than I anticipated. My guess is that we all have room
to grow our activities on WikiVoyage and other projects as well.

Those of us who meet at WikiConference North America in October might have
a chance to discuss these issues in person. The conference website is
https://wikiconference.org/wiki/2016/Main_Page. The conference organizers
are working on many tasks at the moment. Hopefully session submissions will
be open within the next few weeks. The current plan is to have conference
sessions in both Spanish and English. If you're interested in coming to the
conference, please mark October 7–10 on your calendars.
