I love those proofreading features, and the new default layout for a book's pages and TOC. Wikisource is becoming AWESOME.
Do we have PGDP contributors who can weigh on on how similar the processes are? Is there a way for us to actually merge workflows with them? Prof. Greg Crane of The Perseus Project @ Tufts is looking to upload a few score classical manuscripts, and perhaps eventually their whole corpus, into Wikisource -- but they want better multilingual proofreading and annotation tools (which they are also considering developing. Hear, hear!) All of this work needs a bit more visibility.
