I've invested a little time and energy on updating the cataloging and categorization schemes on Wikibooks recently. I've updated the Dewey

and Library of Congress pages to use automatic page categorization,

of relying on manual entry. This is, of course, just a small measure but
one
of many steps forward that need to be made at Wikibooks.
We are all open to ideas, of course, about how we can organize things
better
(and, by extension, make wikibooks better). What we really need is the
man
power to apply the necessary templates and categories to our existing
books,
and to help with adding these to new books as they are created. Once we
have
everything current organized, it will be trivial to add new books to the system as they are created. At that point we can move on to the next
task,
whatever that may be.

I've added the section to the meta draft page here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Volunteering#English_Wikibooks. Your input is greatly appreciated--this is not yet live on Foundation.

Only of interest for the English Wikibooks? Londenp
For this particular project, I was approached by the English wikibookians. If there is a similar page on another project, and someone is willing to translate my volunteering page on Foundation to another language, then we'll be able to add other language projects as well.
