Hi Anika,
Thanks for your suggestions. That would definitely help us.
Actually, we are very people (only 3 regular contributors) doing all the
upload and proofread works in Bengali Wikisource. We have a huge backlog of
non-proofread pages (almost 500,000 and its increasing!) and we do need
some more (actually many more) hands to proofread them. ;-) So, we are
thinking of every possibilities to make the project familiar to Bengali
language-speaking people.
As we expect almost everyone one as new contributor, we want them just to
focus on the proofreading part, so that they dont have to bother about the
numbers, and thus the tool requirement. They won't even know that there is
a tool to track their contributions in the contest, so no-one will
show-off.
Aubrey told me that there is a tool to track their contest results in
Italian Wikisource, but its there somewhere. I hope that can also help us.
Thanks,
Bodhisattwa

on de.WS, there is a monthly contest "Korrekturen des Monats"

There, several projects are highlighted, some pages by name. People, who
are proofreading these pages, scrach them out (<s></s> --~~~~).
A summary is given at the end of the page:

The one with the most proofread-pages earns a flower and a thank you-note
at the end of the month. (that can be done by everyone; at the beginning
the award it was a book of the library of a Wikisourcian) I like this
pages, cause it shows the diversity of projects. You can find shorter texts
to proofread and sometimes you get really involved.
For preparation someone has to find "good" texts to proofread, and to set
up the projectpage.
Once uppon a time they might also have a tool to show each others the
numbers of pages and brag (I have done this, You did only that. I achieved
more for the project....)

Hi all,
We are planning for a proofreading contest in Bengali Wikisource. In this
regard, we are looking for a tool to track proofreading counts by editors
within a given period of time. Any suggestions?
Regards,
