Thanks for the comments. About LabisAlps, at the moment I don't push a lot the templates of Wikimedia Switzerland because the work is on going. At the end of 2013 the template will be in any article part of the project and there will be the rollout in other languages.
The De Re Metallica is uploaded from Archive.org because it has been the first test to upload ancient books. It wa simportant to avoid *any problem connected with the digitization* and to proceed with a book already in PDF. Instead of fighting with books digitized from scracth, this book was already present in open source, so it has been uploaded in Wikisource. The main job of Wikisource is the transcription and I can assure that that of De Re Metallica is really hard *and not adapt for people without a strong knowledge in Latin language*. The remaiming books will be uploaded by Wikimedia CH as the first attempt has been done with success and with a good result.
