Though that would defeat the purpose of online proofreading with account verification. Some of the true value of our online process is that contribution builds a level of trust and knowledge and that is reflected in both our patrolling and the allocation of autopatrolled status. Also how would you have access to templates, and components like that from off-line?

Also we generally cannot download the images separately as that is usually part of the later clean-up where people have the technical skills.

So yes, there is the capacity to have the text and proofread the text, that actual checking the text against the image is not the sole component of proofreading, and further it would not be at all helpful for validation.

Subject: [Wikisource-l] Do we have tools for offline collaboration?

Hello,

A person in a local Wikisource workshop asked me if we could download all material of a specific work to proofread it offline. So download both the pictures and the OCRed text. Additionaly I think it would be good to provide tool to at least have side by side plain text and pictures.

So, are you aware of anything close to such a tool? :)

Cheers
