[edit]
  • Wiktionary, Wikiquote and Wikisource, a meetup after the lecture "Wiktionary+Wikisource=♥" to share idea about synergies, transwiki editor workflow and future common campaigns. In bonus: how to exterminate the fallacy of calling those projects "Sister projects of Wikipedia" and how to promote more equity into the Wikiverse?

[edit]
  • Wikisource reader app meetup (Ideally 60 minutes) - In this meetup, the participants will get a demonstration of the Wikisource reader app for which, they will have the opportunity to provide feedback and request for features, which will later be worked upon by the app development team. The meetup will also help participants understand on how to adopt the FRBR bibliographical data model and link their Wikisource contents on Wikidata based on that model, so that their contents can be displayed in the app.
