Sinhala Wikisource

Some time back (most likely බිඟුවා) has created a project for the Sinhala Wikisource. However the things have not progressed from the starting point. As many people pointed out most of the books available in the Sinhala Wikibooks are not actually things that should be there. Most of them belong to the Wikisource.

I started moving things to Sinhala Wikisource. There are a few problems left in the process.

  1. We do not have a dedicated site for Sinhala Wikisource. We simply have to share the project they call "multilingual Wikisource" or  OldWikisource with others. This creates a lot of problems in practice than you can think of.
  2.  A lot of contributors are not aware of the difference between Wikisource and Wikibooks. (To tell you the truth even I did not know correctly.)
  3.  There are some license issues with the books that are available in the Sinhala Wikibooks. You can join the discussion here.


We need your support!
