Just an ignoramus doubt. How is wikisource different from Wikipeadia ? Are we supposed to put there, all the origianl creative works of Kannada and other people, whcih can be used as source by others later ? What about copyrights of these origianl works?
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia.
Wikisource is a garner of free content - texts, which in Kannada context could be Vachanas, Dasara Pada, Kumaravyasa bhaarata and almost all the old texts and copyleft sources.
See http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/WS:WWI for a detailed document on what should be included in Wikisource and what shouldn't be included.
Feel free to write back if you have any doubts.
