Martin,
Good post.
I am very excited about losing my Wikisource virginity too. I was on the

for the project but an active contributor. I have to say it's been a more
rewarding experience than expected.
I'd heard in a few places that imports from the Internet Archive, or
imports of .djvu files, weren't reliable, b
