[Wikisource-l] Impressions from LODLAM 2013

I'm just back from the LODLAM summit in Montreal, Canada and here there is a short report. ==About LODLAM and why I was there== LODLAM (http://lodlam.net) is a gathering of people interested in LOD (linked open data) and LAM (Libraries, Archives, and Museums), so I thought it would be interesting

Re: [Wikisource-l] About texts without supporting files and Index: pages

I think everything is doable, the problem is how to do it without cluttering the interface and keeping things simple. Some levels might be redundant and we could take the chance to think if they are really necessary. Some proposed changes: - Proofread page levels: Unused, Proofread, Proofread

[Wikisource-l] Converting pdf files into wiki markup

. :-) Alex 2013/6/12 David Cuenca dacu...@gmail.com Nobody is saying anything about using copyrighted works, there are many books that have an open license that would allow to include them in Wikisource. For instance in ca-ws we have this translation from 2009: http://ca.wikisource.org/wiki

Re: [Wikisource-l] Playing with Lua, javascript and pagelist tag

@Alex: one thing I always would have liked to have is an /all page that would display all the ocr text and that would replace it by proofread text as soon as each page would be created. It would be the equivalent of the text dump by internet archive and it would allow search engines to find text
