I believe we should also have a way of making dead-tree sources available (through scans etc) for verification.
This makes me very nervous, as I envision people challenging all sorts of what are now unchallenged, acceptable sources because they can't be bothered to go to the library and check out a widely available book. No way am I going to start scanning things in. This sort of thing should only be reserved for unavailable sources in controversial articles (things that probably shouldn't be used in controversial articles anyway, but that's another issue) and if we set up a system for it, it will encourage people to use and demand this sort of verification. AGF and a library card should suffice.
