To scale well, this would be have to searchable by book, wouldn't it?
(Very tedious to look through, say, 50 Wikipedians' user pages just to
see if they have this particular book.) This would be very useful if
it could work..
Yes but then we could also have a book-club-type VP, where I' could go
and say..."I am stuck on this article, does anyone have a book that
says anything about notafishes and their natural habitat?". It could
even be cross projects and cross languages. I really like this idea.
After a while, I am sure we'd know who has what and if not, who can
tell us who has what.
