There's a reasonable need to get a shared, standard set of templates, modules, js scripts for wikisource projects - all projects sharing a common, identical goal and facing with the same, identical issues, and needing the same set of international, standard metadata. Nevertheless

very difficult to synchronize efforts, while working into different "boiling" projects; and I personally found very frustrating to admit

that

some painful efforts to solve specific issues turned out to be simply a "rediscovering the wheel". :-(

Oldwikisource, given its "neutral" character, could be IMHO the perfect project to share the best of source projects, and there's a perfect kind

of

works that could uploaded into oldwikisource and proofreaded using

common,

shared styles & tools: they are multilanguage works.

Presently, we are going to upload and proofread a three-language

(French,

German, Italian and some English too) magazine: Histoire des Alpes -

Storia

delle Alpi - Geschichte der

Alpenhttp://it.wikisource.org/wiki/Histoire_des_Alpes_-_Storia_delle_Alpi_-_Geschichte_der_Alpen_(1996)/02.

It's released under CC-BY-SA-2.0 licence, My idea is, to upload it into oldwikisource, transcluding it by Iwpage into any interested projecy -

the

proofreading/formatting job being done into oldwikisource, with common tools, common templates, common modules, common "styles". What do you

think

about?

Alex (from it.wikisource)

My understanding is that this is exactly the purpose of mulWS. Sounds like an ideal approach to host it there, though I don't necessarily see the need to interwiki the work. Just create an author page on the relevant wikis and link to the work.

If there was the possibility for xwiki modules, and templates to be hosted there, that would seem like an ideal approach that aligns with what is done with ProoferadPage.
