Before discussing a new tool, what are we trying to achieve? Anyone can install the Mediawiki software, with or without some extensions, and try new ideas on a small scale, but what are those ideas that you want to try? We have now the Internet Archive that scans books on a large scale, and also imports scanned books from Google. We have Project Gutenberg, Project Runeberg, and Wikisource for proofreading the OCR text of those books. We have Wikipedia in many languages for providing background facts about authors, works, and genres. What else is needed, and what role does OpenLibrary play? When we know this, I think we can find the right tool for the task. -- Lars Aronsson ([email protected]) Project Runeberg - free Nordic literature - http://runeberg.org/ _______________________________________________ Ol-tech mailing list [email protected] http://mail.archive.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ol-tech To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send email to [email protected]
