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

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
Alpen<http://it.wikisource.org/wiki/Histoire_des_Alpes_-_Storia_delle_Al…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?

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.
