Excellent news! :)

For the author pages it is quite straight-forward. For the bibliographic
metadata the easiest would be to connect wikidata items with the "Book:"
page generated by the (planned) Book Manager extension. The "Book:" page is
supposed to provide the book structure and act as a metadata hub for both
books with scans (those with Index: page) and books without scans (there
was no solution for those yet)
Project page: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Book_management
Bugzilla page: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15071
Example:
http://tools.wmflabs.org/bookmanagerv2/mediawiki/index.php?title=Book:The_Interpretation_of_Dreams&action=edit

Problem, the extension is not finished yet and neither Molly nor Raylton
have time to keep working on it. Some bugs are still open and the fields in
the template would need to be maped to Wikidata properties. All this is not
relevant for phase 1 (if it is done only for books), but it will become
relevant for phase 2.

Is there anyone that could volunteer as an OPW mentor to help a potential
student to finish this project?

Cheers,
Micru
