A suggestion: don't focus on Google only. Generalize the tool for other sources. There are plenty of libraries as Opal that share much better images to grab. The quality of Google shared scans is often very poor.

(PS: I presume, I could grab the whole Alma Mater library content... but presently I'm busy; Aubrey, "stai sereno" :-) )

Rohit Dua just wrote to me regarding that project (I was one of the possible mentors). if one of you is technically skilled and wants to help, there is plenty of room for that :-)

Wikisources all around the world use heavily GB digitizations for transcription and proofreading. As GB provides just the PDF, the usual cycle is:

go to Google Books and look for a book
check if the book is already in IA
if it's not, upload it there
get the djvu from IA
upload it on Commons
use it on Wikisource

For point 4, we have this awesome tool: https://toolserver.org/~tpt/iaUploadBot/step1.php What we miss right now is a tool for point 2.1, that would serve many other users outside the Wikimedia movement too. Eventually, we could think of a bot/script which would do all the work altogether, notifying the user when their help is needed (eg metadata polishing, Commons categories, etc.) Mentors: Aubrey is available for "design" mentorship, paired with a technical expert. We can maybe ask help from a IA expert.
