Thanks Sam!

Now we should focus on help about requisites of a good, wikisource-oriented IA upload: proper scan quality, good file names and useful metadata. IMHO it would be great to build a "wikisource collection" into IA, since collection admins can edit any item detail but its ID, and fix most mistakes.

That sounds like a great idea! So it sounds like we need to have 50 items already uploaded before they'll create a collection for us. Then, maybe we build it into ia-upload: a way of uploading and setting metadata for a set of scan files? It would upload files to IA and then do the DjVu-creating thing and upload just the DjVu to Commons?

Or do people upload to Commons first? And then our tool takes a file (or category of files), uploads it to IA, and then pulls the DjVu back from there and adds it to the same category?

(I'm sort of thinking aloud...)
