Right! Digitalizing text corpora in any available language is an
important part of Wikimedia's goals to achieve. *That's* where we
really can do something, and that's what the foundation must support
more than it does so far. (The general wikisource wiki is a mess, set
some paid people down to clean it up and make it a platform that is
usable to digitalize texts in whatever language you come across,
ancient languages like Sumerian, or Old Mayan, or what have you,
included.
