Thanks for the reminder, just voted and commented. I supported also the OAI-PMH proposal, but I think it's not the solution, as we already have such a tool and nobody uses it... It's years (for me, an entire decade...) that we advocate and propose solutions for metadata workflow in Wikisource, and as far as I understand, a big part of it is Wikidata. IMHO, we should try to put all our descriptive metadata (author, title, etc.) there, with a good, meaningful structure (we should understand which metadata are from the ns0 page, which from the Index pages, they are often different). Then, we could build APIs or other tools on that. WS search tool was a step in the right direction, but it's a difficult job and it should be a community effort.

Really good point, Aubrey. It makes lots of sense to build long-term tools on Wikidata, because that's where Wikisource metadata (most of it) will end up. The PMH proposal is in the Wikisource category, because we rock — no I mean, because we need it most. But it should probably be build with pulling as much data from Wikidata as it can. If an item gets left out because it's missing some property in Wikidata, it's easy enough to fix that. :-) Oh, and the WS search tool[1] is currently still bombing out when it tries to do full scrapes of some Wikisources (notably French, but that's probably because of 'f's place in the alphabet rather than anything else), so at the moment it's just running twice-daily scrapes on recent changes on all Wikisources. I'm trying to make it more robust. —sam PS The current top-voted proposal (a WS upload wizard) is exciting!
