Dear Balaji,
Thanks for your query regarding the Wikisource research project. We have
tried to elaborate on some of the motivations and need for this research in
the context section of the note; based on experience with Wikisource
projects and conversations with community members we understand that there
are persistent challenges on these platforms, particularly in terms of
technical infrastructure and capacity/skills, but these are not documented
or analysed in detail yet. Our attempt here is to collect more data on
these challenges by talking to community members and identifying gaps and
areas for improvement. The final outcome will be a report with a set of
observations which may help inform and structure further efforts in
developing such infrastructure, as well as focused capacity-building and
training efforts.
Regards,
Jayanta Nath

Hi..
Thanks for carrying out the research project. As of now I couldnt comment
on anything. Because I couldnt understand the requirement for the research
and what is the expected outcome and what is the practical use of the
project.
