We sort of use IA's data already, because many Wikisource texts are
OCR'ed on IA. If we manage to use OCR improvements within DjVu, it
shouldn't be too difficult to reupload such DjVu in their items and then
they could do what they want with them.

I believe the trickiest part is creating a system to put results back

Integrating this into ConfirmEdit extension shouldn't be hard. It's the
extra features what makes this tricky. This system is interesting for
gathering translations, but doesn't work for verifying that the answer
is right. How would you verify that?

I spoke to some people at the Internet Archive about the ReCaptcha

completely.
I highly recommend we
