The WikiJournals
editThomas Shafee and Andrew Leung gave introductions on "Wikipedia-integrated academic journals" at 2021:Unconference/Wikipedia and academic journals from the perspectives of what you need to know about the Journals as an academic and as a Wikipedian.
The four journals are now on wikiversity: wikiversity:WikiJournal_User_Group, but there is a proposal to create a separate wiki for the Journals: m:WikiJournal

Intro by Ruthven
Demonstration by Sam of:
- Tesseract vs. Google OCR, each with their own specific quality.
- Recently a new button was made and deployed in Wikisource in all languages. (YouTube now a forbidden area for the spam filter)
- Advanced options with possibility to use language specificity, while extracting text from an image hosted on a Wikimedia server, with direct access available at https://ocr.wmcloud.org/ (YouTube now a forbidden area for the spam filter)
- Especially the Tesseract options, about the location and organization of the text in the page, are interesting
- There are also options for rectangular areas / tables etc. (newspapers!)
Natalia tells about Community Tech projects concerning Wikisource (YouTube now a forbidden area for the spam filter)
- about the Wishlist (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2021 ): the 2020 edition was focused on non-Wikipedia projects
- the priorization process is described here, it includes a priorization list of wishes, according to several criteria: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2021/Status_report_1
- This is interesting with a view on the wishlist for next year (January?)
