Consider/write about horizontal links with related communities : - should groups building other formats of collaborative/editable books think about populating equivalent namespaces on wikibooks? Consider/write about tools for people making derivatives of existing books : - if Wikisource grows as well, say to include the text of historical/older books that are ready for modern revisions, would updated editions, or derivatives made for new audiences, be appropriate on wikibooks? how would you name a series of such books? > To get us started, Whiteknight and I were discussing reaching out > to universities and other charities for book donations on > specific topics (such as a book on cancer from an organization > which deals with breast cancer) as well as recruiting editors What's the division of scope between wikisource and wikibooks for such works?
