8: en.wikisource: After a copyright inquiry to the
Judicial Yuan
of the Republic of China based in Taiwan, a reply has
explained
that English translations of the
Judicial Yuan Interpretations
have been translated by governmentally contracted outside translators whose names have been indicated, so as the Judicial Yuan website allows personal noncommercial reproduction only, the English translations of its interpretations hosted at its website cannot be freely copied to English Wikisource. However, as the original Chinese interpretations are in the
public domain
, Wikisource users may make their own translations to be released under the GNU Free Documentation License.--

12: French started a serious effort of quality and promotion. Most works are not categorized, many new portals have been created. An ongoing debate is taking place about the inclusion of Gaston Leroux's works because of their copyright status.

11: en.wikisource: For much of this year, the copyright disputes (archived in
April
and
May
) of the United Nations works have bothered the users there. Chinese and French Wikisource with some UN works have also been affected. Fortunately,
Administrative_Instruction_ST/AI/189/Add.9/Rev.2
has been discovered in November to release many, though not all, UN works into the public domain. This major discovery has allowed Wikisource to resume collecting UN resolutions.--

August
edit
25: en.wikisource: The revamp of policy and help pages has been completed for some time. Categories still need work. We have also nearly complete the migration all chapters to subpages. Along with that there has been a massive effort to add a standardized header with title, author, etc. to ALL pages. Currently only 2,000 pages out of over 20,000 are left without headers. We have found these headers very useful for navigation as well standardizing the look of the website. I encourage all other subdomains think about using a similar template
before
reaching 20,000 pages.--

July and August have seen great changes for the French language Wikisource. Many new contributors are active. Three important and voluminous works are in the making, all with a complete set of scans of the original: Montaigne's Essays, the complete work of Pierre de Fermat and the Encyclopedy of the Enlighment, from Diderot and d'Alembert. We started to have a weekly renewable extract of a work on the Main Page, and we expect that it will attract new readers and contributors. We also started to discuss a validation procedure.

9: The Arabic Wikisource began with a flurry of activity by several of the most active contributors to Arabic Wikipedia (such as
Chaos
). The activity then died down for a while after the Main Page was set up. It seems that the Arabic contibutors are juggling several projects with a limited amount of manpower. But activity has recently picked up again.

Digitization of a precious 16th-century handwritten mathematical schoolbook
edit
In may 2006 Wikimedia Germany (the "Verein") financed the digitizing of
a handwritten mathematical schoolbook called "Drei Register
Arithmetischer ahnfeng zur Practic". The precious 16th-century
manuscript has been scanned at the Center for Retrospective Digitization
of the Lower Saxony State and University Library in Goettingen. Today
about a quarter of the 210 pages has been transcribed and annotated in
the German Wikisource. Actually a project in the German Wikiversity is
dealing with the analysis of the book.

Third volume of the "Zimmerische Chronik" transcribed
edit
At the beginning of September 2006 the third volume of the so called
"Zimmerische Chronik" (a chronicle written by count Froben Christoph von
Zimmern in the 16th century and published 1881 by the german historian
Karl August Barack) had been transcribed. The transcription of the
4-volume work is one of the biggest projects in the German Wikisource.
The e-text-edition was initiated by a historian of the University of
Freiburg im Breisgau, who actually acts as a scientific advisor for the
project.
Update
: In December 2006, the last pages were proofreaded and the whole project - containing 4 volumes with more than 600 pages each - was finished.
First publication of a handwritten letter of Fredrick Accum
edit
Today German Wikisource announces the first publication of a handwritten
letter of the german chemist Fredrick Accum to his brother Philip (April
26th 1816). Accum emigrated to London in 1793 and became professor of
chemistry and mineralogy at the Surrey Institute around 1803. Fredrick
Accum, who is largely forgotten today, is one of the pioneers of the
commercial production of coal gas for gas lighting. In his letter he
gives a lively picture of the economic condition in London after the end
of the napoleonic wars.
To faciliate the work of the german Wikisource community in the future,
the german "Verein" provided a budget of 1.500 EUR (about 1.900 USD) for
the digitizing of old books and manuscripts. The members of the
community themselves will decide conjointly how to spend this money on
new projects.

Automatic Chinese converter, also used at Chinese Wikipedia and Wiktionary, accommmodates both traditional and simplified Chinese at one Chinese site. It is a major benefit for Chinese users after splitting from the multilingual Wikisource. However, as Chinese simplification started in 1956 in Communist China and 1969 in Singapore, more users have agreed that earlier source texts should be posted in traditional Chinese. Older texts in simplified characters are being tagged to catch anyone's attention to revert them to their original forms in traditional Chinese.--
