Alex (Sadas): thanks for the support on wikipedia and for coming to open library as a contributor. That's great. As George mentioned, many of the community oriented features you mentioned are in the process of being addressed.
Tom: The initial corresponding ids for the trial came from freebase and they match almost precisely to the data in freebase. However, freebase loaded open library before open library had a work type so many of their book ids had to be redirected to the work instead of an arbitrary edition. It would be great to fix up that data on freebase and i'll get in touch with them about that. The query used in case you're interested is here: http://tinyurl.com/2wkxtqh.
