"Daniel Mayer wrote: No separate project needed (a sub-project of Wikibooks might be needed though)." There's no such thing as a sub-project, at least not on the software level. Either it is one project, or two. Two projects could be accessing the same database, but I don't see a reason for that, as we'd have two interfaces to show and do exactly the same thing. Two projects could be *presented* as project and subproject, though. If we call the two projects wikibooks.org and wikisources.org, or rather textbooks.wikibooks.org and sources.wikibooks.org, doesn't make a difference, at least not to me.

I didn't read Daniel's the same way you did. I assumed his 'sub project' referred to a kind of effort like the countrty or biography template ''projects'' within Wikipedia. If you look at his comments that way they make a lot more sense. A common wiki, data store, and set of software techniques that support a variety of books with somewhat different natures.

Oh. Yes. I see. Now.

In that case, my earlier objections still apply, but as I said, I won't block any emerging consensus on that :-)
