Wikisource:Reform month

For the first reform month, see Reform Month 2007.

This July is Reform Month 2012. In order to improve the project for users new and old, we are dedicating a month to improving documentation about Wikisource's practices and policies, and making the site easier to navigate and edit. We invite all editors, including non-Wikisourcerors, to participate by leaving constructive suggestions and comments concerning any aspect of Wikisource. It is also a good time for general cleanup. Please join the effort!

Important pages include the help pages, policies and guidelines, the index, process pages like Proposed deletions, Wikisource pages like Wikisource:News, and so forth. If you're looking for a particular page, the Main Page and index should lead you to it.

Suggestions

• Wikisource:Translations needs work. There is no real guide for creating to translating a work.
• Category:Proposed Wikisource policy: Many of these haven't been edited in months. Are these current proposals, rejected, superseded, forgotten about?
• How do I transcribe a JPG, or non-DjVu/PDF file?
• Wikisource should only be hosting images that are free in the United States but not in the country of origin, but there are many others lying around.
• Help:DjVu files: Why DjVu? (This is always confusing to newbies.)
• Help:Adding texts makes no mention of scans, or transcribing.
• Better search boxes, for authors, portals on the front page and advanced searches within specified works or authors.
• Big effort to flag incomplete and partially proofread works.
• More setting of short-term goals to galvanise editors and reporting of their achievements.
• Identify and correct uncategorised works and works not appearing in portals
