• OCR gadget for Wikisource: Script and documentation page created.

  I wrote code for recognizing text in images using the popular open source Tesseract.js library. It is ready to be used in a many of language editions of the Wikisource. Instructions on the use of code for personal purposes also published. The code will be published later as a gadget, after the new version of Tesseract.js library will appear in the CDNjs repository hosted by Wikimedia.

• Wikidocumentaries project translated to Russian.

  I translated 315 messages of the Wikidocumentaries project into Russian. Another useful project will be available for Russian readers.
