I think this sounds like a really interesting idea, what do other people think?

From: David Cuenca dacuetu@gmail.com Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Preparing a proofreading contest for Wikisource's
10th aniversary

On the Wikisource mailing list we are discussing about a contest to celebrate Wikisource's 10th aniversary.
The contest would be from Nov 24th till Dec 1st. During that time the participants would proofread a selection of books and they would get
points
per page. The one with the most points would win an ebook reader.
So far WM-IT and Amical Wikimedia have comited each the prize for their respective contests on the Italian and Catalan Wikisource. WM-AU and
WM-DC
are considering to sponsor the English edition.
If you would like to help us to organize more language editions or find more sponsors, get in touch.
If you would like to participate, stay tuned! :)
Cheers, Micru _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l,
