Hi all,

I work on the Wikipedia Library program, and wanted to jump in with a passing thought I'd had about Wikisource and TWL. We'll be building search and discovery tools into the library card platform (https://wikipedialibrary.wmflabs.org/) that's currently under ongoing development. They'll index all the usually-paywalled resources we have access to, but also open access content. As part of that process it's a desire of mine to index completed Wikisource works, though I haven't given it much thought beyond 'that would be nice'. This might be able to function as a kind of centralised search for all completed Wikisource works, if implemented.

If you're interested, the relevant Phab task is https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T169875, where your thoughts are very welcome. It won't be worked on for a while and I can't guarantee that it will definitely happen, but if it's something the Wikisource community would benefit from, then that would absolutely increase the likelihood we'll work on it.

Best,
Sam

Given the discussion about finished books on the Korean Wikisource, I this demonstrates that we really need to advertise the finished books to a reading public.

In Italy, after many years of talk with local libraries, the Wikisource books are included in the catalogs of many libraries (also via a local ebook provider, MLOL, who hired some wikimedians to work on the "open collection", big kudos to them).
