Good to know. I consulted the website of ABBYY and it say one option is an "Open license for local use on workstations", but I guess it's not a FLOSS license, unfortunately.

Not at all, read more carefully, this license is available only when you already purchased more than 50 licenses ( https://www.abbyy.com/en-ca/finereader/licensing/ ) so at least 5000 € IIRC.

By the way, what is the state of the affair regarding Indic languages?

I left that one for people more acquainted with that but it seems to work fine.

Do we have a central page documenting existing OCR pipeline used by the wikisource community?

Not that I know of.
And AFAIK, each Wikisource and Wikisourcerer have different systems (sometimes small differences but sometimes big differences).

What should I say to a contributor which come to me asking "I have this old PD book in my personnal library that I would like to digitalize, share and proofread in Wikisource, where should I start?". Do we have an online service, for example on tool labs, which enable to either upload or simply input url of a facsimile and that launch the OCR for example backed on tesseract?

There is BUB https://tools.wmflabs.org/bub/ but only for certains websites.

Shouldn't we update our roadmap[1], or is there a more up to date document elsewhere?

Whe should write a new document.
