Sanskrit wiki source is finally created. It is available here: http://sa.wikisource.org
Some wikimedians know the importance of wikisource project. Which ever wiki community understood the importance of wiki source is giving proper care to it. From Indic Wikis, I can show the example of Bengali wiki source. According to me, both the wikitionary and wikisource projects are the backbone of every language.
For a language like Sanskrit (which is a classical language) both wiktionary and wikisource projects are very important projects. For the past 3 years when I interacted with Indic language wikimedians, many Sanskrit lovers among them asked me why wikisource is not yet available for Sanskrit since it has huge collection of source text. Why no one cared to create a Sasnskrit wiki source? Since I am not a Sanskrit speaker and my interest with Sanskrit is same as for the other Indic languages, I always thought some Sanskrit wiki lover will take initiative to start it. I was waiting all these years to see Sanskrit wikisource.
Finally I decided to move forward and take initiative to place a request for Sanskrit wiki source. I have logged a request to create the Sanskrit wikisource on 2010 October o4. The request is approved by the language committee on 2010 November 04, and finally the wiki is created on 2011 March 18.
The main page of Sanskrit wiki source when it was created is shown below.
Sanskrit wikisource- Current Main page
The major tasks of creating a good main page and importing more than 1500 source pages available in old wiki source are pending. I am planning to import pages from old wiki source with the help fo some senior meta wikimedians. Hope all Sanskrit lovers join this wiki and make it a big success.
