Two questions:
*Why don't you add Wikiquote?, It's pretty look like Wikipedia in
concept (you don't have to make so many new items when you add
Wikiquote as client of Wikidata)
*Wikisource has a big difference in interwiki mapping. you can map an
item in wikisource to several item in another language (we have an
open bug in bugzilla for Pywikibot about it:
)
Are you going to let people to add several links with the same site in
an item of Wikidata or vice verse, adding one link to several items,
both of them are technically seems impossible to me because your
output is dictionary (when you call API) and diciotnaries can't have
several values for a key, what are you going to do about it?

Excellent news! :)
For the author pages it is quite straight-forward. For the bibliographic
metadata the easiest would be to connect wikidata items with the "Book:"
page generated by the (planned) Book Manager extension. The "Book:" page is
supposed to provide the book structure and act as a metadata hub for both
books with scans (those with Index: page) and books without scans (there
was no solution for those yet)
Project page:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Book_management
Bugzilla page:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15071
Example:
http://tools.wmflabs.org/bookmanagerv2/mediawiki/index.php?title=Book:The_I…
Problem, the extension is not finished yet and neither Molly nor Raylton
have time to keep working on it. Some bugs are still open and the fields in
the template would need to be maped to Wikidata properties. All this is not
relevant for phase 1 (if it is done only for books), but it will become
relevant for phase 2.
Is there anyone that could volunteer as an OPW mentor to help a potential
student to finish this project?
Cheers,
Micru

Hey everyone,
The next sister project to get language links via Wikidata is
Wikisource. We're currently planning this for January 13.
The coordination is happening at
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Wikisource On this page we're
also looking for ambassadors to help spread the messages to the
different language editions of Wikisource. Please help if you can.
Cheers
Lydia
