Dear all,
the discussion of automated import of scholarly articles is moving forwards at https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Scriptorium#Automated_import_of_op... but more participation would probably not hurt.
As for the import of the bilingual book on Spider taxonomy, there were no reactions on the Swedish and Latin Wikisources: https://sv.wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:M%C3%B6tesplatsen#Svenska_spindlar https://la.wikisource.org/wiki/Vicifons:Scriptorium#Aranei_Svecici .
I thus gave it a try at https://la.wikisource.org/wiki/Liber:Clerck_1757_Svenska_Spindlar_-_Aranei_S... but am actually not sure it's a good idea to handle the two languages separately, so I also put up https://wikisource.org/wiki/Index:Clerck_1757_Svenska_Spindlar_-_Aranei_Svec... , and now I am stuck at how to get an OCR layer imported.
Can anyone help with that?
Thanks and cheers,

Dear all,
today, we posted a proposal to the English Wikisource about automated import of Open-Access articles: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Scriptorium#Automated_import_of_op...
In parallel, I uploaded an important zoological work (the first monograph to use Linnean taxonomy for animals; written in Swedish and accompanied by a Latin translation) to Wikimedia Commons and posted about this at the Swedish and Latin Wikisources: https://sv.wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:M%C3%B6tesplatsen#Svenska_spindlar https://la.wikisource.org/wiki/Vicifons:Scriptorium#Aranei_Svecici .
In both cases, the aim is to bring more scholarly content onto Wikisource, and the idea is to scale things up if that works well.
Feedback of any kind is most welcome.
Thanks and cheers,
Daniel
