Hoi,
In my opinion this is a service not only for editors but for the complete
Wikimedia reader public. So the notion of putting it in that platform is
great but we need to advertise the finished books of Wikisource to the
whole world.
Thanks,
GerardM

Hi all,
I work on the Wikipedia Library program, and wanted to jump in with a
passing thought I'd had about Wikisource and TWL. We'll be building search
and discovery tools into the library card platform (
https://wikipedialibrary.wmflabs.org/) that's currently under ongoing
development. They'll index all the usually-paywalled resources we have
access to, but also open access content. As part of that process it's a
desire of mine to index completed Wikisource works, though I haven't given
it much thought beyond 'that would be nice'. This might be able to function
as a kind of centralised search for all completed Wikisource works, if
implemented.
If you're interested, the relevant Phab task is
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T169875, where your thoughts are very
welcome. It won't be worked on for a while and I can't guarantee that it
will definitely happen, but if it's something the Wikisource community
would benefit from, then that would absolutely increase the likelihood
we'll work on it.
Best,
Sam

Given the discussion about finished books on the
Korean Wikisource, I
this demonstrates that we really need to advertise the finished books to a
reading public.
In Italy, after many years of talk with local libraries, the Wikisource
books are included in the catalogs of many libraries (also via a local
ebook provider, MLOL, who hired some wikimedians to work on the "open
collection", big kudos to them).
