Other relevant updates:

   - You can translate the interface of the app in your language from here:
   https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translating:Wikisource_Reader
   - We are also working on analytics of book search and download, the
   first look of which is recently made live here
   <https://wsindex.toolforge.org/analytics/>
   - Technical documentation for both the app and the API is being created
   here
   <https://cis-india.github.io/wikisource-reader-app/documentation.html> and
   will be improved gardually
   - You can report existing bugs or request for new features related to
   the app in this Phabricator workboard
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/8233/query/all/>
   - T408915 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T408915>: Epubs generated
   for Bangla and French Wikisource projects had unwanted lines due to recent
   Parsoid updates, which negatively affected the books in the app for these
   two languages. It has been disabled temporarily for Proofreadpage extension
   to use Parsoid, which has resolved this issue for now.
   - We faced an issue recently to update the list of books. After
   investigation, we have decided to filter out those Wikidata items, which
   contain more than one P1957
   <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P1957> like this one
   <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q19489053> (i.e. more than one editions
   clumped together in one item). When they will be split in separate items
   following the correct data model, they will be automatically displayed on
   the app, as usual.

We sincerely thank Levy Muguro
<https://levymuguro.hashnode.dev/new-outreachy-intern>, a full stack
developer from Kenya, who is behind majority of our recent updates as part
of his internship at the Outreachy. His Outreachy contributions can be
tracked from here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T405593 .

Sai Phanindra and Bodhisattwa
