I think data that is calculated (like this word-list
data) does not belong
on the wiki. It is by definition re-generatable, and not meant for gradual
improvement by human labor. A simple _reference_ to such data for
books/pages where it exists would be enough, i.e. a gadget or something
that points to the word-list data on an external (even static!) Web server.

I will.
That, though, is a proposal of a "special" namespace, I mean,
technologically.
We could have a brand new namespace using Wikibase, or that
DataNamespace, or a simple balnk new namespace, as it is the Wikisource
namespace, or the ns0.
Right now, we just need a room to put some data.

AFIK, Dario did a proposal in that regard some
time ago:

No idea what is the current status. Maybe you could ask him?
Cheers,

Dear all,
volcanic User:Alex brollo is working on "dictionaries", aka generating
lists of used words in Pages and works.
For example:
https://it.wikisource.org/wiki/Discussioni_pagina:Il_cavallarizzo.djvu/2,
as a list of the book Il cavallarizzo.
I bet that in the next few years (with more books, more users,
Wikidata, and the world domination led by Wikisource) we would have more
and more of these experiments.
A list of used words of an ancient book could help customize OCR and
tools for typo corrections, for example.
Moreover, we will have Wikidata, and maybe we will need to store some
metadata (eg page numbers, or metadata about images and scans) into
Wikisource.
Lua could help us build tools for creating automatic indexes, or
textual version in ns0 (eg precompile the pagelist tag...)
So,
the question is: want we Wikisource communities a new Data namespace?
How do you like the idea? Would you want to have the Wikibase extension
in it, or just a normal namespace?
I'm sure you will find this mail confusing, but I think we are in the
need of something,
I just don't know what it is :-)
