I agree fully Micru.
Obviously, my dream is something much simpler and clear-cut: a unique
wikisource for all languages, since an unique project for any textual media
is needed IMHO just as a common project for any non-textual media is
running: Commons; and a common project for data now exists: Wikidata.

And now, let's go to explore Lua a little bit more.... I presume, that
mw.loaderData() can  read a table of Lua functions too, if I understand Lua
table features. So, shared modules could perhaps be hosted into one data
module only. Let's try ....
