Hello everyone, before talking again about this let me
say that I
think we have a "major" bug in the IA-upload:> sometimes, the OCR is not
aligned between the pages, meaning you have
the right OCR but it's shown for the following page...> Aubrey

This is very cool news. :)
One possibly not-too-onerous feature would be to permit upload of
other file types other than DjVu (e.g. PDF). Or there's the whole
topic of creating/finding Wikidata items for the books uploaded, and
updating them with the IA identifier. That'd probably require the
uploading user to specify a Wikidata ID though — which is what the
{{book}} template on Commons should work from anyway, in my opinion
(because it can't be done via a sitelink).>>
I'm very happy to help with whatever I can!

The tool is still not perfect (I often get errors), so maybe some
development is still needed, but I'd ask you (especially technically
skilled people like Tpt, Sam, Philippe, etc.) if you think there is
some low-hanging fruit that could be reached with that kind of
budget.>>> Of course, we will be looking for developers, so if you want to
