Really good point, Aubrey. It makes lots of sense to build long-term tools on Wikidata, because that's where Wikisource metadata (most of it) will end up. The PMH proposal is in the Wikisource category, because we rock — no I mean, because we need it most. But it should probably be build with pulling as much data from Wikidata as it can. If an item gets left out because it's missing some property in Wikidata, it's easy enough to fix that. :-)
Oh, and the WS search tool[1] is currently still bombing out when it tries to do full scrapes of some Wikisources (notably French, but that's probably because of 'f's place in the alphabet rather than anything else), so at the moment it's just running twice-daily scrapes on recent changes on all Wikisources. I'm trying to make it more robust. —sam PS The current top-voted proposal (a WS upload wizard) is exciting!
