There are many difficulties I see with Scripto as an alternative to Proofread Page: 1) all metadata about e.g. the order of pages within a book lives within the CMS scripto is connected to. This means that features like PediaPress won't work, as they can't navigate from page 2 to page 3. 2) the actual images live on the connected CMS -- in fact the CMS is the whole interface to the wiki.
I imagine that the Scripto folks would be happy to weigh in, though. (They're great people -- post on their dev list and see if they'll comment.) If wikisource were to look at an alternative to ProofRead Page, I suspect that the Bentham Transcription Desk might be a more appropriate, pure-MediaWiki alternative.
