That purpose is twofold: to share news *from* the group to peers, and to allow *assessment* of the group's own activities. It is specifically not the goal for the group's activity report to be a round-up of all activities and news related to the *theme* of the group, like the GLAM[1] and Education[2] newsletters, whether or not the group was involved. If the *group* maintained a loose communication network between Wikisource volunteers and communities, and that's the only *group* activity this year, I think it is both appropriate and perfectly enough for the activity report to say just that. (Actually, creating a Wikisource newsletter on the model of the GLAM/Education newsletters might itself be a perfect activity for the group! And then could be reported in the activity report. "Maintained the Wikisources newsletter [link]".) Cheers, A.
