--- Comment #5 from [email protected] --- From the POV of the Wikisource community, this project it is not only ESSENTIAL, it is CRUCIAL. The reason is that currently, when a user wants to upload a book for it to be proofread in Wikisource, it has to go through the following painful process: 1) upload the book file and fill out the fields thought for pictures (there are no special fields for book data) 2) enter the book metadata manually (no possibility to import it from external sites) 3) adjust (manually) the book metadata to the Template:Book in Commons 4) create an "Index:" page in Wikisource and populate it with *exactly the same data* 5) copy again *the same information* in the Author page. The process is so long, confusing, exhausting and exasperating, that *discourages* users from uploading any book into Commons/Wikisource. Not to speak about the time wasted into repetitive tasks. This process needs to be simplified and streamlined urgently so the user satisfaction can be increased.
