Buddhism on Wikimedia Working Group
Description
The Buddhism on Wikimedia Working Group bridges the gap between ancient Buddhist wisdom and modern digital preservation by combining custom AI tools with Wikimedia platforms. As caretakers of the largest Tibetan language etext archive, we focus on creating high-quality Wikisource editions of Buddhist texts and expanding Wikipedia coverage of Buddhist concepts.
