Please don't underestimate the critical point of editing interface and
editing tools (even if *small*...), proofreading is the core of wikisource
work and it is presently the bottle neck - any minor success about
proofreading comfort, speed & precision is highly valuable and really
effective.

I like the idea of finishing the development of
BookManager2, it is a pity
that the code was not reviewed

I made a draft on a proposal here:

Please edit, it's a draft and I think it's a problem many of us know from
a long time.
The idea is that, if we had a system for MediaWiki to know what a book
is,
we could
* better metadata management system, thus a better integration with
Wikidata
* we could develop better tools, for example create automatic Indexes and
navigation templates, which would maybe enable us to "import" EPUBs
directly on Wikisource
* have a better workflow, making it easier to new users to use us
* have even better statistics and analytics: which are the *books* (not
the pages!) which are read o WIkisource?
etc.
IMHO, the Community Wishlist is a great opportunity to push for a
systemic development of Wikisource: I'm convinced we don't need little
tools here and there, but a systematic overview of what Wikisource
framework, workflows and software.
I'm open to discuss the merging of different proposals in the Wishlist.
