Hoi,
I am really happy to have noticed that Wikisource books will be offered by
the Internet Archive in its Open Library project.
Obviously, it is well deserved that Wikisource gets a bigger public.
I have two questions:

Hoi,
At the time there were enough people who did not want a Wikipedia
Foundation so it did not happen. People insisted for the Wikimedia
Foundation to concentrate on Wikipedia and English Wikipedia at that and
that is what happened. In a marketing driven organisation, there would be

Hoi,
Most Wikimedians are not award how important Wikisource is for the
languages from India. Satdeep do you have some documentation, some
statistics to share with us?
Thanks,

Hoi,
The big problem with Wikipedia and particularly Wikipedians is that they
drown any argument that does not fit them. I find it really telling that
some things are researched as they confirm what we already know and at the

I am actively pushing the inclusion of books that are available from the
Open Library. They will be by authors who are already known to Wikidata and
the books will have either an ISBN or an identifier from for instance the
Library of Congress.
The point to this is that we do not know if

Hoi,
Given the discussion about finished books on the Korean Wikisource, I this
demonstrates that we really need to advertise the finished books to a
reading public.
After all what is it that we do it for but for finding a public for the
transcribed books?
Thanks,

Hoi,
Yes we need to have a better mechanism. However, there is nothing stopping
us to publish all the books that are finished and ready to be read. That is
the proof of the Wikisource pudding..
So is there a Wikidata query showing all the books that are finished and
ready to read. With this we
Hoi,
When this data is in Wikidata, we can build a query that shows all the
ready books in every language. We can then package it and measure how often
books are read. This is the purpose of Wikisource isn't it?
Thanks,

Hoi,
Anne just a question, if this was key functionality for the English
Wikipedia, would you remove this functionality with a promise of "trust us
we are working towards something new" ?? I think not.
