Yes, this is PGDP's approach. They have two rounds of proofreading-only, before any formatting of any sort is applied. The beginner proofreaders start without formatting.
When it comes to comparative text analysis, Wikisource makes things pretty hard, that's for sure. I mean, has anyone tried finding all the extra commas in a Jane Austen first edition vs a modern edition? (It's considerably different.) But not something we can do all that easily.

I remember when we tried to make a partnership with a scholar who works with ancient texts. He needed some Italian translation of Greek texts in Wikisource, but he was much more interested in validated/proofread text *without* formatting, than the contrary. 75% for us is formatted, always. But, arguably, for people it's easier to correct typos and proofread than format with strange templates and codes. We always assume that people know how Wikisource works, how wikicode works, etc.
A brand new quality workflow could be beneficial.

__ Yes, makes sense! Or a series of attributes like:
proofread once? proofread twice? formatted? all images added? hyperlinked? transcluded? read in context with other pages? etc.
Only some of which need be linear.
And only when all are done is the thing considered bonzer. :-)

I'd like to state a "binary page quality" splitting the workflow into its basic steps (proofreading of text; formatting; adding links; validating....), t.i. into a set of true/false states, clearly showing the list of lacking steps. I.e. sometimes I fastly add complex formatting to rough text, and this results into a exotic "level" proofreading=false, formatting=true. It's a level 1, but it is deeply different from a level 1 coming from proofreading=true, formatting=false. Obviously the whole "binary level" could be simply stored as a number, with useful information into it. Alex

__ That sounds really interesting! Do you mean as a way for people unfamiliar with Wikisource to easily contribute notes and corrections? On the face of things, it could perhaps work by storing the notes in a the Page_talk namspace and doing some clever thing to display them on the Page (and perhaps in main) namespaces.
It seems like it'd be cool to be able to get "typo reports" or something, from people who mightn't have any idea of Wikisource other than that's where they got an epub.
To rate a page, we currently have the various levels of proofreading quality. Is this not sufficient? And does the current Index page overview of all of a book's statuses work for you? I sometimes wonder if we need another rating, above 'validated', that indicates that a whole book has been read through and (hopefully) any remaining typos have been found.

Hmm, at the conference I think someone was interested in a feature to make comments on texts, like you can make on some word processors for example. That may be interesting, but how you render the result might be a huge user interface problem. One should be able to choose whom comments should be visible… Otherwise, I would still be happy to have more flexibable way to "rate" a page. That is, a page might be text proof readed, but laking some css, or a picture should be extracted etc. Having a way to see that for all pages in the book: namespace would be fine. ĝis baldaŭ
