There is a lot of potential in Wikisource, but it depends
heavily on the ProofreadPage extension and it has several
bugs that are reported but don't get fixed.
ThomasV is the main developer and perhaps he is the only
maintainer? It would be in the interest of the Wikimedia
Foundation to assign a salaried developer or two into
developing a more robust framework for Wikisource, either
by improving the existing extension or by integrating
some or all of its functionality into MediaWiki proper.
People everywhere have a need to make some PDF (or Djvu)
document available on a website, page by page, with the
ability to add categories and talk pages. This ability
is what the ProofreadPage extension adds to MediaWiki.
In my mind, it is as essential as the support for uploading
JPEG images and automatically generating thumbnails.
Adding multipage documents to a wiki should be a far more
common need than adding mathematical equations.

de.ws is already not respecting the system, because it didn't marked the empty pages as "Empty". fr.ws has 17000 empty pages, en.ws has 15000, de.ws has 1000. I suppose that a great part of the missing 14000 or 15000 are marked as "Validated"... and de.ws has 54000 validated pages.

* Thirdly, if the de.wikisource community decides, by vote or by
consensus, that they want IPs to be allowed to change the quality
status of pages, they can do this without destroying
ProofreadPage. They just need to step out of the ProofreadPage
quality system, and restore their previous system in place of it.
I am willing to explain how to do this to any technically skilled
person. Note that I already made the same proposal in bugzilla
8 months ago.

I added to Common.css this code:
div.indent {}
.indent p {
*margin-top*: 0em
*margin-bottom*: 0em
*margin-left*: 2.5em;
*text-indent*: -2.5em;
}
suggested by css trick to manage poem tag.
This code inverts indentation into all <p> inside a div class="indent", very
useful in some special lists of particular pages. All runs very well but...
I can't manage in a simple way the case of a paragraph splitted in two parts
in two pages. I'd like to avoid the possible solution (that is, doubling the
second part of the broken paragraph into the fisrt page inside includeonly
tags, and use noinclude tags for the same text into the following page).
See http://it.wikisource.org/wiki/Pagina:Canti_di_Castelvecchio.djvu/241 di
Castelvecchio.djvu/240 and the following one; the pages are transcluded into

Hi everyone,
The next strategic planning office hours are:
Wednesday, 04:00-05:00 UTC, which is:
-Tuesday (8-9pm PST)
-Tuesday (11pm-12am EST)
There has been a lot of tremendous work on the strategy wiki the past
few months, and Task Forces are finishing up their work.
Office hours will be a great opportunity to discuss the work that's
happened as well as the work to come.
As always, you can access the chat by going to
https://webchat.freenode.net and filling in a username and the channel
name (#wikimedia-strategy). You may be prompted to click through a
security warning. It's fine. More details at:
http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC_office_hours
Thanks! Hope to see many of you there.

I'm proofreading a book, a biographic dictionary, which lists
information about 7500 people on 810 pages. Each person has
3-4 lines of text.
During proofreading, a page is a page, simple enough,
e.g. http://sv.wikisource.org/wiki/Sida:Östgötars_minne.djvu/207
But how should such a work be transcluded into the main
namespace? Should each entry be its own chapter? It would
be convenient to be able to link directly to each person,
especially since they are numbered and sometimes referred
to by these numbers. But it would make for many tiny chapters
and a table of content that is almost as large as the book.
On the other hand, the printed table of content presents
three main chapters (A, B, C) of which chapter B covers
680 pages. The transclusion code <pages from=75 to=754/>
would generate one very long page.
How has this problem been dealt with before?

Is it true that {{header|previous= |next= }} must be filled
in manually for each chapter? Couldn't this be automated
in the same way as ProofreadPage links "<" and ">" in a
linear sequence, if you provide the table of contents in
a central place? If that TOC contained the page number
intervals and sections, everything in the chapter page
could be automated, right?
Is it true that full text search leads to to the Page:
and not to the main namespace page that transcludes it?
And that the former has no link to the latter?
If I search "the right understanding of the machine",
I find
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Page:The_Kinematics_of_Machinery.djvu/24
but I don't find
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Kinematics_of_Machinery/Introduction
How could that be improved? Is another Extension necessary?

Oggetto: [Communia] Europeana launches its Public Domain Charter
Data: Tue, 4 May 2010 07:13:58 -0600
Da: bernardo parrella <berny(a)cybermesa.com>
A: communia(a)lists.communia-project.eu
The Europeana Foundation has published a policy statement, the Public
Domain Charter, to highlight the value of public domain content in
the knowledge economy. It alerts Europe's museums, libraries,
archives and audiovisual collections to the fact that digitisation of
Public Domain content does not create new rights in it.
The document highlights the Public Domain as a "shared resource that
underpins contemporary societies" and it "provides a historically
developed balance to the rights of creators protected by copyright."
This initiative strengthens the recently-launched Public Domain
Manifesto goal to protect today's cultural landscape particularly
relevant to education, cultural heritage and scientific research --
thus ensuring that it can continue to function in a meaningful way.
The Public Domain Charter is currently available as a pdf download in
English, French, German, Spanish, and Polish.

I dragged a little into the very interesting template Iwpage, but I couldn't
fine a doc about its second parameter, and about the related Lst. Is there
some work in progress? Where can I find some doc about if any?
