Yes, a Wikisource is indeed very important for every language. Many languages of India have rich literature that can be uploaded, proofread and disseminated using Wikisource, reigniting the interest in it. The Malayalam Wikisource is a very successful project, cooperating with teachers and students to transcribe and proofread books and making literature learning fun again. Its first batch of completed texts was also published on CD. Any language of India can do that. In fact, you can start writing content for a new Wikisource project immediately in http://wikisource.org (note that there's no language code). This is the site for beginning Wikisource projects; once they have enough content, they get their own domain, as is happening now to Gujarati. -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com “We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.
