Dear all,
I am Shiju Alex and I am a Malayalam Wikisource volunteer - http://ml.wikisource.org For those who do not know, Malayalamhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malayalamis spoken in the state of Kerala in South India.
We have a special case regarding a *notable Malayalam book* in Malayalam Wikisource http://ml.wikisource.org. A notable writer of Malayalam ( http://issuu.com/jdevika) is ready to release some of her notable works under free license http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/(Both text and images)
Few Malayalam wikians *want to add this book to Malayalam wikisource*. But few others argue that even though book is notable since it is a recent book it can not be in Wikisource. They argue that only source texts which are in public domain need to in wikisource.
I am unable to find any similar case in *English wikisource*. Could some one please guide us regarding this? My primary question is, If a *notable* book of a language is available in a wikisource compatibility license can that be added to Wikisource?
If this is done is any other language, can some one please share the links.
Shiju Alex
