There's a new column on the IA Upload
https://tools.wmflabs.org/ia-upload/ log to permit the download of the
DjVu files, for those files that are failing to upload to Commons. This
is just a work-around until we have larger-file uploading fixed (which
should be soon, see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T175680 for more
info).

Hoi,
Given the discussion about finished books on the Korean Wikisource, I this
demonstrates that we really need to advertise the finished books to a
reading public.
After all what is it that we do it for but for finding a public for the
transcribed books?
Thanks,

The index status information IS available in MediaWiki, see:
https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Special:IndexPages
Unfortunately, it is hard to use it as
* it seems to be available only as this HTML special page (no API interface, no LUA interface)
* if is available only for 10000 index pages and it is unclear how data is sorted (i.e. what is the characteristic of pages that exceed the 10000 limit); however it hurts only the two largest wikisources at the moment (fr with over 15600 index pages and en with over 11500)
* the index status is often not up-to-date; index pages need to be purged then.
In pl.ws we use this data to update index status by bot, eg. on this page:
https://pl.wikisource.org/wiki/WS:Wikiprojekt_Proofread
IMO, if this information is available via API or directly in wikicode, it will be more convenient to use, and maybe useful also for automatic Wikidata status update (assuming there is a link to index page there).

Hoi,
Yes we need to have a better mechanism. However, there is nothing stopping us to publish all the books that are finished and ready to be read. That is the proof of the Wikisource pudding..
So is there a Wikidata query showing all the books that are finished and ready to read. With this we can advertise, having all books makes it complete. Knowing all books that are finished is secondary.
Thanks,
GerardM

Hi,
The validation-status data can and sometimes is stored in Wikidata. See how it is stored here : https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Badges and here an example of Wikidata query for all items about validated text : http://tinyurl.com/yaud3uoy
Thad said, most of the times Wikidata is not up-to-date, and there should be a tool to take care of that instead of human being.

The ws-cat-browser is saying it can't find any validated and categorized
mainspace works on kowikisource.
Is this correct? Is there any meant to be anything in the
validated-index category?

Fantastic news, Sushant!
Congratulations to the Gujarati community.

Hi Susan, what you mean by 100 books? Have you completed the ocr job for
100 books ? Or have you validated the 100 books?
If you have validate the 100 books , please make them a category and share
it here for my next Indic Wikisource update of Oct 2017.
