Google Books > Internet Archive > Commons upload cycle
Wikisources all around the world use heavily GB digitizations for transcription
and proofreading. As GB provides just the PDF, the usual cycle is:
go to Google Books and look for a book
check if the book is already in IA
if it's not, upload it there
get the djvu from IA
upload it on Commons
use it on Wikisource
For point 4, we have this awesome tool:
https://toolserver.org/~tpt/iaUploadBot/step1.php What we miss right now is a
tool for point 2.1, that would serve many other users outside the Wikimedia
movement too. Eventually, we could think of a bot/script which would do all the
work altogether, notifying the user when their help is needed (eg metadata
polishing, Commons categories, etc.) Mentors: Aubrey is available for "design"
mentorship, paired with a technical expert. We can maybe ask help from a IA
expert.
