Hello,
I dropped some lines about this idea about two months ago. Now, I wrote a more detailed plan which is available from
http://www.steckenpferde.de/wiki-translations/
and I also made a reference on Meta's "Talk:Proposals for new projects" page. I'm not calling for a "proposal" as it can be integrated into an existing project like wikisource. But what can I do to promote this idea further?
Much of this fits in with my own vision of Wikisource. I have myself raised the question of co-ordinated side-by-side boxes (or panes) to facilitate translations, and footnoting. Two or three such panes seem workable, more would probably result in unduly narrow columns.
Your edition management and pdf conversion ideas are interesting, but should probably be deferred until after we have accomodated translations and annotations.
All we need is for some developer to be sufficiently inspired by the idea. Until then we just need to be patient, and limit ourselves to the occasional friendly reminder to make sure that the idea does not get forgotten.
