Inspiring indeed. And two-window editing will be most helpful for
translation and script-assisted proofreading as well (e.g., the
interwiki link checker interface).

After this bounced around at the Wikimania conference, I wrote up
some ideas for how MediaWiki could be turned into a proofreading
and publishing tool for scanned books on my user page on meta,

I'm very far from implementing this, but I think the collection of
ideas could provide inspiration to others. Some of the
components, such as the move away from a flat namespace in
Wikibooks, more advanced upload/download functions, and two-window
editing might be universally useful.
Since this is not tied to the Wikimedia Foundation projects, but
suggestions for a bunch of technical extensions to the MediaWiki
software, I guess I should move it over to
mediawiki.org, right?
I'll give the ideas a little more time to mature first.
