Scripto is an alternative to the ProofreadPage extension used
by Wikisource. It is based on Mediawiki but also on OpenLayers,
the software used to zoom and pan in OpenStreetMap.
The only website I have seen that uses Scripto is the U.K.
War Department papers, and in many ways it is more clumsy
than ProofreadPage. But there might be a few ideas that could
be worth picking up. Take a look.
The software is described at http://scripto.org/
As for reference installations, they mention

Ron Unz, a long-time Wikimedia supporter, alerted me to this personal
project that he's been working on for a long time:
http://www.unz.org/
It's an archive of periodicals, books, and videos, some of which
hosted there, some externally.
Examples:
http://www.unz.org/Publication/SaturdayRevhttp://www.unz.org/Publication/Century
Timeslice from the outbreak of WWI:
http://www.unz.org/Publication/AllArticles?Period=1914aug
According to Ron, the system contains almost 400,000 authors and their
writings. A couple of examples of author pages:
http://www.unz.org/Author/MenckenHLhttp://www.unz.org/Author/WhartonEdith
Ron believes that the copyright situation is clear -- that either it's
PD due to age, due to lack of copyright renewal, or that he has
permission in some cases via licensing agreements. In any case,
there's quite a bit of unambiguously public domain stuff there that I
haven't seen digitized elsewhere, and it should be useful as a
research library for Wikipedians as well.
Cheers,
Erik

There is a bug in ProofreadPages that break this feature. So, there isn't any bug in your code.
User:Beau and I have made a patch that fix this bug and add an option in preferences menu.
We are waiting for a code review and then this patch will be added in the next update.
You can create a new bug report on bugzilla and say that a lot of people are waiting for this patch.

After ResourceLoader implementation, we poor basic js scripts inventors are
crying...
Well, I'd like to emulate with a local js script the toolbox button
switching lateral vs. vertical layout for proofread edit window.
Does any of you know where can I find the needed js code?
I tried too to set, as suggested by
www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Proofread_Page,
var proofreadpage_default_layout='horizontal';
into my vector.js to obtain a default vertical layout with no result.
Some users love this layout, I'd like to help them! Where am I wrong?

http://toolserver.org/~phe/statistics.php
now says
"403: User account expired"
This madness has to stop. Wikisource depends on this service.
I understand the German toolserver is beyond repair, but
phe's statistics scripts should be moved to proper WMF servers.
Back in April, I copied one set of phe's graphs to Commons,
where we can go for a nostalgic look at the once existing
statistics graph system that phe built, and that worked fine
until the German toolserver gang decided to ruin it,

Good to see a wikisourcerer in the Legal and Community Advocacy team!
Congrats Stephen.

(After the new counting method, at last.)
If you see sudden variation of the statistics, this is the reason. :)

Done
Sorry for crossposting but it's something that will (hopfeully, IMHO)
affect hundreds of wikis and it's interesting to know how to get to it.
