Jane Darnell, 02/06/2013 11:12:Yes but that's not a problem, it's a feature. Wikisource is (currently) not for browsing masses of books like archive.org or Google Books (which do that job very well); it's for choosing a subset of those books and working on them more intensively for interlinking, proofreading etc. There may be thousands of "unused" books on Commons, but there are millions more out there: Wikisource uses and encourages work on those which makes most sense to work on (in theory).
Alex thanks for that perspective. I myself was wondering if anyone
counted how many entries are in the books category here:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Books
and then the entries for books per sister project on Wikisource. My
gut feeling is that the number per Wikisource entity will be smaller,
but I may be wrong
I don't think this relates to splitting/reunifying that much, but Alex is right in pointing out how there are some aspects that we *could* want to solve; once you define what you want to solve, it's easier to decide tools for it.
