Hy Sam,
would be good, cause PG does not hat/show the scans,
But
as I remember there was/is a policy at de.ws to not use texts from
other projects (say: if there is text A in PG, there won't be a similar
text A in de.WS),
cause at the time de.WS did use PG-texts... Google said WS is a mirror
of PG and all other (not PG)-texts were left out in Google-Search-Results
as well.... The (small) visibility of WS got lost completely... That is
the reason, why there are no new projects on de-WS about texts that are
available in a (nearly) similar project
(besides the effort: why spending so much time on a text that already
is avilable? - you'd have to proofread ist at least two times)
But that is this special German-thing.....
What do the others think about it?
