Hello Alain, thanks for the email. I personally favor combining efforts, so I think it would be a great idea to try and move/copy these books of yours to Wikibooks. If you take a look around at our current mathematical offerings, we are woefully incomplete in many mathematics topics. We recently received a donation for a book on Linear Algebra. The upload and translate portion of that project, while slow, is consistent. Other books on topics like Arithmetic and Algebra are in poor condition and can use all the help they can get. In addition to our current books, we can start new books on these topics also, if that is more appropriate.
I'll take a look at your books and see if there are things that we can adapt for our own uses. As with all GFDL projects, if we used material from your website, we would grant proper attribution to you. If you would like to "join forces" entirely, we would love to have you and your books on Wikibooks. If not, that's fine too.

It occurred to me that they may offer a contents base for a wikibook.
As the project described there is far from being completed and
still awfully time-consuming I am quite unable to do it myself but would be quite happy to grant permission if permission is needed or whatever.
