Hi all, There is only 5 days left to vote on https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2020/Wikisource. Each vote count!
Some proposals already have a lot of support (like the ebook export <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2020/Wikisource/Improve_export_of_electronic_books>, no surprise here) but most only have a few vote and could use more support. I would really appreciate if everyone could take some minutes to read and support the wishes ! Cheers, Nicolas PS: in case you missed it, there is also 2 wikisources related wishes on the wiktionary category: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2020/Wiktionary Le jeu. 21 nov. 2019 à 07:15, Satdeep Gill <sg...@wikimedia.org> a écrit : > Hello everyone, > > > Some of you might know me already but I will still reintroduce myself.
