Far from the idea of splitting down wikisource family into fighting groups, the post of Helder underlines how much would be important to keep in contact different projects and to find common troubles and strategies.
Another example is the use of *DynamicPageList extension*: it is used into wikinews only, but it would be great into wikibooks and wikisource too to produce good, updated lists by "virtual categories intersection".

Note, Wikibooks actually does have DynamicPageList.

Is this used on Wikibooks as a way to limit categories to one book, i.e. does each book have a category, that is used in intersection with topic categories?

I'm not really familiar with wikibooks very much, and have only a couple edits there, but I believe they mostly use it to get a list of say all pages in category math so they could make a pretty list of math books. I don't think they use the intersection feature that much. But again, I'm not all that familiar with wikibooks.

I used DynamicPageList extension into a small external wiki (where
ParserFuncion and DynamicPageList where the only two extensions installed... :-) ) and I fall in love with it. It's just "the extension of my dreams"... I was teaching my robot todo a similar work (to intersect categories coming from templates, therefore unuseful for +incategory syntax) and DPL could save lots of human, and server time too. Someone told me that DPL is considered heavy from server load point of view, but I guess that a bot dounig the same work would load servers much more.... Are we OT perhaps in your opinion? Would you think a better idea, to open a new 3d about DPL?
