Congratulations, this is an amazing event for all the Wikisource community. <br>Hopefully we&#39;ll use it to show other libraries that such things are possible, <br>and we should all take this as a model. <br><br>it would be really important to document everything is a common and visible<br>
location, where we can read and learn from this experience. <br>Where would this be?<br><br>Aubrey<br>(In Gdansk too)<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2010/7/10 Michael Jörgens <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:joergens.mic@googlemail.com">joergens.mic@googlemail.com</a>&gt;</span><br>

Hei,<br>
<br>
I&#39;m from the French chapter, Wikimédia France, and I want to annonce a<br>
good news for Wikisource. Some months ago Wikimédia France signed a<br>
partnership (&quot;small&quot; but significant in France) with the French National<br>
Library (BnF) who gives to Wikisource 1400 texts with their OCR [1].<br>
<br>
Today these books arrived on Commons [2] and are ready to be checked by<br>
the Wikisource community. The list is available on [3], the range of books<br>
covers many century, different levels of confidence in the OCR and<br>
different subjects, but most of them are in French.<br>
<br>
Now there is work for 800 years say somebody, 20 years for another, &#39;don&#39;t<br>
know, we&#39;ll see :-)<br>
<br>
Wikimedially,<br>
Sébastien/Seb35 (I&#39;m presently at Wikimania, Gdañsk, Poland)<br>
