Hi all, I wanted to ask you if there is a way to "suggest" User:tpb, the Internet Archive's bot who crawls in Google Books and upload them in IA, which books it should import. And if there is a way to import smoothly from IA to Commons.
I would think a tool like this would be *very* useful for us in Wikisource, given that: * we use Djvu from IA most of the time * it is a good idea to import a book from GB to IA, because sometimes books in GB disappear.
Thanks
Aubrey

I doubt so, tpb is not an "official" IA service as far as I know. The best place to ask is probably archive.org forums.

A IA->Commons tool would be useful, like CommonsHelper and so on.

Not sure if it still works, but...

Wow, this seems perfect.
Please help me with the TUSC: http://toolserver.org/~magnus/tusc.php if I put commons in Language (as suggested) which project should I insert? blank or commons do not work.
