Hy Alex, My comment was not about spending some time on a PG-Projekt or not spending any time at all.
The point/question (when it comes to de-WS) is a different one: (A) to spend some of our valuable contributions into a project that already is freely available (in another format) or spend this time in a (related) project that is NOT already freely available? (and we do have a lot of them) // note, it is not about not spending any time in proofreading or the Wikisourceproject... it is about finding valuable projects/texts to invest our time... + (B) to spend this time in a project, that may cost us the findability of the whole wikisource-project (and all other texts on wikisource) because Google/Bing/others do tag us as fork/reuser/copy of ... (as happened in the past, at least with de, when we had some texts of the commercial http://gutenberg.spiegel.de/ that is also supported by ABBY with a free softwarelizense) Anika 2016-10-14 10:13 GMT+02:00 Alex Brollo <alex.bro...@gmail.com>: > I'm too very interested both into the idea and into its technical > implementation, but I need some more doc for dummies to understand it fully > :-( > > About importing into wikisource texts alreary proofread: a text into > wikisource is different from a similar text into another web site, since it > is "a node into wiki network", and this goal deserves IMHO some pain to > proofread (and re-format) it again, adding lots of wiki cross links. > > Alex > > > 2016-10-14 8:27 GMT+02:00 Andrea Zanni <zanni.andre...@gmail.com>: > >> I think the idea is good, >> but I would like to try that in my wikisource: >> could you manage to take also the few italian books that PG has? >> Thanks! >> >> On Fri, Oct 14, 2016 at 8:23 AM, Anika Born <wikian...@wikipedia.de> >> wrote: >> >>> corr1: [...] does not ha*ve*/show the scans, [...] >>> >>> Anika >>> >>> 2016-10-14 8:18 GMT+02:00 Anika Born <wikian...@wikipedia.de>: >>> >>>> Hy Sam, >>>> >>>> would be good, cause PG does not hat/show the scans, >>>> >>>> But >>>> >>>> as I remember there was/is a policy at de.ws to not use texts from >>>> other projects (say: if there is text A in PG, there won't be a similar >>>> text A in de.WS), >>>> >>>> cause at the time de.WS did use PG-texts...
