Hm, it should work fine for it.ws too. Can you give me a WD item for a
book with a PG ID and a it.ws Index page? I'll investigate further... :-)
One cool thing that I've only recently found is this list of PG's sources:
http://www.pgdp.net/c/tools/project_manager/show_image_sources.php (you
need to log in)
It's not very structured, but it's the only place I've found that links
a PG ID to a scan on the Internet Archive or elsewhere. I'm thinking of
writing a scraper to get the data so that it can at least link more PG
IDs and IA identifiers on Wikidata.

could you manage to take also the few italian books that PG has?
Thanks!

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 <http://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... Google said WS is
a mirror of PG and all other (not PG)-texts were left out in
Google-Search-Results as well.... The (small) visibility of
WS got lost completely... That is the reason, why there are no
new projects on de-WS about texts that are available in a
(nearly) similar project
(besides the effort: why spending so much time on a text that
already is avilable? - you'd have to proofread ist at least
two times)
But that is this special German-thing.....
What do the others think about it?

Hi all,
I've been tinkering with an idea I've had for importing
Project Gutenberg books into Wikisource:
http://tools.wmflabs.org/pg2ws/
<http://tools.wmflabs.org/pg2ws/>
The idea is that, if Wikidata makes a link between a PG ID
number and a Wikisource Index page, then we can go through
that Index page one page at a time, and copy the page's
text from the PG book to the WS page.
The interface so far isn't very brilliant, but I'm just
trying to figure out if this is worthwhile or not.
Basically, it's a matter of selecting the right chunk of
text in the right-most text box (the full PG text) and
hitting the button to move it left into the centre box.
Then cleaning it up (manually and with the magic cleaning
button) to make it match the image, and then uploading it
to Wikisource.
It's a bad tool though, because it doesn't handle the
running header, and the copy-across button doesn't do nice
things with {{hws}} etc. — not to mention all the other
things it doesn't do.
Anyway, just thought I'd mention it. :-) Anyone think this
is an avenue worth exploring? Certainly I'd love to be
able to say we've got everything PG has /and more/!
