Thanks for interest. I work mainly into it.source, but I often try to work a little bit into other projects too for a number of reasons. I find unknown templates, tools, policies, all from them very interesting; and I do too some effort to import them into it.source, but it's difficult, since diversity grows daily and some good ideas are very difficult to implement into different contexts.
I'm only a wikisource active user, not more than this, I've not sufficient technical or organizing skills to build a project to revert what I see as a big mistake, and I'm far from sure that my opinion is right; but I feel the need to share this personal opinion.
About mul.source: my suggestion would be, to activate into it best tools and gadgets, best templates, best policies and best docs; to remove as soon as possible any trouble for its users; and to encourage users to upload there any multi-language book.

Hi,
I failed to understand how splitting Wikisource projects in different languages had been a mistake and how that affected communities badly.
As part of Bengali Wikisource community, I can only say, we are doing well and we don't want to return back to old multilingual Wikisource.

I see an argument unsupported by evidence, and without evidence it approaches baseless and without value.
Please go and write an essay about the matter at https://wikisource.org/ referencing the original argument for the split, and how the reintroduction of a single site would be of value, and how it might be done. In fact how it will be better than now. Otherwise all I see is a doom and gloom worry-wort.

I'm deeply convinced that splitting wikisource projects into variuos languages has been a mistake.
Is anyone so bold to imagine that it is possible to revert that mistake?
Or, are we forced to travel along the diabolicum trail?
