Hi Billinghurst at ca-ws a user has been doing some tests to create automatically the missing Index: pages with a bot http://ca.wikisource.org/wiki/Especial:Contribucions/Anskarbot
I don't know exactly how it works, or if it is stable enough, but I will ask.
Regards, Micru

Micru,
As a question re uploaded works to Commons. Are we labelling these in some way as needing to have Index: pages at the WSes, and by language of work? If not, then it would seem that we may need to do some curatorial work to can we identify .djvu files at Commons that are not linked to indices. Thinking about how we can make things easier for ourselves.
Regards, Billinghurst

BUT I would like to have someone writing some pieces of code to be able to "scan & upload": which means, to scan your book and be able to upload it automatically to wikimedia commons & wikisource, using the same control system, specially with no command line interface.
Have you tried the Book Uploader Bot? It is a project created by Rohit (in CC) for his GSoC. http://tools.wmflabs.org/bub/index
It takes some available images from digital libraries, uploads them to Internet Archive (which converts to djvu and adds OCR), and then notify the user with a link to transfer the file to Commons when the file is ready.
If you want to use the same workflow for Spreads, you would need to add an option to BUB to upload an image batch and request the metadata from the user. It doesn't seem that hard considering that most of the work has been done.
Cheers, Micru
