I don't know how to structure it, but with Wikimedia Italia and
the Italian Wikisource community we talked a lot about the "upload tool" from Internet Archive

The idea is that, from at least 4-5 years, it's a good practice to upload the books
into Internet Archive, and then use the djvu.
This year, as you all know, djvu support has been discontinued by IA: right now, there is only the PDF.
Tpt solved the issue in the IA upload tool, but unfortunately the quality of the new djvu is often not sufficient.

Here's what we could do:
* rewrite and integrate Alex's DJVU script into the tool: https://gist.github.com/alexbrollo/cc3c187172ac848bd896ecb2b812dc51 (the script produces an high-quality djvu)
* create a better GUI for the system
* discuss all together for having a much simpler tool/workflow for newbies, integrated with Commons, Wikidata, Wikisource

Inserting stuff into Internet Archive is relatively easy, and that is good: we can let them the difficult part, and we can just

Right now, there are at least 3-4 libraries in Italy with open partnerships with Wikimedia Italia, which want to upload books on Wikisource. A good, simple workflow could help many institutions around the world to do the same, and work with the community to proofread texts. It's a good way to get both some quality texts and new committed editors and visibility.

Thanks Alex :) It's a minor project so far, but I reckon the work you've
been doing on making a better, bigger, more proofreading-focused
interface is really good. Do stick a proposal up!

So far, we've got:

* Add a 'clean' method for side-titles, and side notes to parser
* A spelling- and typo-checking system for proofreading
* Visual Editor menu refresh
* upload text wizard
* Language links in Wikisource for edition items in Wikidata
* Display subpage name in category
* Make Special:IndexPage transcludeable
* Fix Extension:Cite to get rid of foibles

If anyone's got half-formed ideas, I'd encourage you to post something,
or just post to this mailing list, and we can all have a chat about it.
:)

In the meantime, I'm go on testing FullScreenEditing.js by Sam, that presently is an excellent, running  step approximating such a goal.
