Thank you very much! Now I must learn how to use this. :)
Once Stable Version went into development, I thought it a better solution than Protect Section. I hope the final version will prove as useful as I believe it will. Proofread page is a good way to verify edits, but en.WS does not have a large enough percentage of our texts scanned to really depend on that for the average edit. Currently we still use full protection and must have admins fix interwiki links and any other notes on left on the talk page.

I am pleased to announce that bug 7957 is now fixed. In fact, I did not know of that bug before you sent your message to the mailing list :-)
Tim recently gave me svn access, so I hope that in the future I will be able to provide more software enhancements for wikisource.
Considering Protect Section, it was never enabled because some people at the foundation considered that it gives too much power to admins. However, I believe that using ProofreadPage makes it unnecessary. I wrote ProtectSection in order to protect texts against clever vandals (or ignorant goodwilling contributors) who make corrections that look ok but are not. However, the best way to tell apart corrections from vandalism is to have access to the scanned text.

Those are the main ones I am watching for. Also Stable Versions but that should be a priority
outside
of Wikisource. If Stable Version never happens,
we
might want revive Protect Section as substitute.
