Hi all,
I've fixed a couple of issues with IA Upload:
* Some uploads, probably mostly from BUB, were running foul of the abuse filter because they included a link to books.google.com. This link is now being replaced prior to upload by the {{Google Book Search link}} template (which is an ID template, not so much a search template).
* The attempt to find a creator template on Commons now discards date ranges.
* Attempts to use the tool on items that don't have DjVu, PDF, or JP2 Zip files will now fail. I'm not sure what people who were attempting to make DjVus of MP3s were thinking, but they'll get a nicer error message now.
I dare say I'm broken something along the way, so do keep an eye out for weirdnesses and let me know.
Thanks, sam.

Zip files will now fail. I'm not sure what people who were attempting to make DjVus of MP3s were thinking, but they'll get a nicer error message now.
Apart from the file format, which was under some patent issues until last year and should be soon be available to Commons (if not yet), what would be the problem with uploading the file to Commons? All the more, some books might have sound component. My daughter have a whole library of that kind. She also have plenty of book with tactile data which often make me wonder how we would integrate such a book in Wikisource, as I'm not aware of any technology to render that kind of data linked to the material texture. Defining a file format to store that kind of data would be surely the easy part, all the more when "digital texture" is a topic already extensively covered in the literature for 3D rendering purpose.
Just sharing some thoughts…

I agree there might be some work to do at some future point when we're trying to import mixed-media works into Wikisource, but I'm afraid for now the sole purpose of ia-upload is to convert IA scans of books into DjVus. MP3s or any other non-text work cannot be converted with this tool. Have you tried using it? Did you notice any problems?

No. I don't have a book I would like to try it in mind, and I guess it would be pointless to import an random book on which I don't plane to work, wouldn't it?
Right I would have been interested to find works of Charlotte Pulvers https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlotte_Pulvers, especially Elzasaj Legendoj https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elzasaj_Legendoj, but actually I'm not even completely sure the book is in public domain as I didn't found her vital records.
Cheers
