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...

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!

Dear all,
Wikimedia Italia put in its budget 3000€ for Wikisource-related work.
When we discussed this, months ago, we thought about paying a developer
for
the DJVU issue of the IA-Upload tool,
which then has been resolved by our beloved Sam Wilson.
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 propose
yourself for something, please do! ;-)
