Re: [Wikisource-l] upload from InternetArchive tool
I would say that another step should be also simplified - I mean uploading raw page scans to IA in order to get DjVu/PDF with an OCR layer. Right now it is required to upload an archive file with special naming which is not very straightforward from help pages.

Hi Andrea, Don't we have Wikilivres for that? Ideally it would be great if it was operated by WMF though.

Re: [Wikisource-l] Export books which use Proofread extension
I guess if Tpt or somebody else could rework that tool as a MediaWiki extension, we could have it installed on the Wikimedia projects replacing the Pediapress thing. Now the question is who might be able to commit his/her time and use his/her skills in order to create such extension.

Clarifying my previous message. By the "export function" I meant the Special:Book page provided by Pediapress.com and accessible via the "Create a book"item in the side menu.

[Wikisource-l] Export books which use Proofread extension
Hi, Export function doesn't work for quite long time now for pages that were proofread with the Proofread Page extension. Is there any chance that it will be fixed soon? I think it is a quite major problem for potential Wikisource users.

Re: [Wikisource-l] Blogpost on Wikisource
I asked administrators of the English Wikisource a couple of days ago https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Administrators%27_noticeboard#Wikisource_survey But I was not lucky to get any attention. I would say, it is quite strange for the biggest Wikisource domain, but anyway... I can verify that the link is in the site notice of the Ukrainian Wikisource (I've done it myself as I'm an administrator there). However I don't see it on the Russian Wikisource .
