Wikivir

Wikivir is the slovenian version of wikisource, a project operated by the wikimedia foundation. wikisource is as a free-content library of source texts in any language (in this case slovenian) that anyone can edit. "wikivir, a project for online posting and editing public domain works of slovenian fiction," is designed such that all work is performed by slovenian studies students under the guidance of an advisor. the ministry of culture has funded this project since 2008, with an average of twenty students participating every year. in selecting, posting and editing texts, more extensive texts have priority. the number of texts posted on wikivir grows by an average of 110 a year and the annual total amounts to 2 million words. wikivir includes nearly all public domain school classics and the majority of long original works and poetry collections. gaps still exist in plays and short and medium-long prose strewn across daily newspapers, which the students will tackle in the upcoming years. in 2016, wikivir ranked sixth among the seventy wikisources worldwide. statistics (https://stats.wikimedia.org/v2/#/sl.wikisource.org) also show that in november 2019 wikivir had 137,000 page views in slovenia and 17,000 page views in other countries.
