There are many difficulties I see with Scripto as an alternative to
Proofread Page:
1) all metadata about e.g. the order of pages within a book lives within
the CMS scripto is connected to. This means that features like PediaPress
won't work, as they can't navigate from page 2 to page 3.
2) the actual images live on the connected CMS -- in fact the CMS is the
whole interface to the wiki.
I imagine that the Scripto folks would be happy to weigh in, though.
(They're great people -- post on their dev list and see if they'll comment.)
If wikisource were to look at an alternative to ProofRead Page, I suspect
that the Bentham Transcription Desk might be a more appropriate,
pure-MediaWiki alternative.

I wantet to rejoice this old mail from Lars:
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
http://wardepartmentpapers.org/transcribe.php
Does anyone know this software?
Could we be interested?
