A Facebook post from the State Library of New South Wales alerted me to this being Banned Books Week.
http://www.bannedbooksweek.org/
https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/bannedbooksweek https://twitter.com/search?q=%23bannedbooksweek
There is only two days left in the 'week'. What can we do to participate?
My idea for an international project is to set up a latin transcription of
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_Librorum_Prohibitorum
I havent looked carefully for an online text, but it isnt immediately obvious that it has been transcribed already.
Wouldn't we be better to take this as an indicator to what we can do in 2014, or what we could possibly start to present in 2014. Trying to achieve in a two day period may well be symbolic, though unfruitful.

Hi,<br/><br/>Perhaps we could highlight such books already in our collection?<br/><br/>Pradeep<br/><br/>Sent from Yahoo! Mail for iPhone
We could easily finish a small project in the time remaining, if the community worked together. I also like the Pradeep's idea of creating a list of banned books already on Wikisource. We could start by creating a WikiProject and/or Portal?
I agree we are unlikely to make a significant dent in a large project, but we could launch a large project this week, and commit to completing it over the next year.

I found this: http://archive.org/details/indexlibrorumpro00turiuoft
And I made this: https://it.wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Indice_dei_libri_proibiti
Maybe it's better to have it on wikisource.org? If someone can solve the coding got the characters, we could all work on our language books. The Index is multilingual :-)
