Yes I reckon so! Not quite yet, but at some point we'll definitely have
something to test and will be wanting users to explore it on Beta
Wikisource and give feedback. My feeling is that there are a bunch of
different workflows that people use to construct pagelists, and the new
widget is going to hopefully help with the most normal ~70% of those —
it won't do everything, but that common task of looking up a scan's page
number will be front and centre and accessible right in the Index
editing form. :)

Datta!
I totally trust the co-mentors to help him but is there something that
we - the community - can do to help?
Cheers, ~nicolas

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all healthy and safe during these difficult times.
I expect that this news might cheer all Wikisource enthusiasts out
there!

I am happy to introduce Sohom Datta
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/p/Soda/>! He is one of the
students that the Wikimedia Foundation has selected for the
current round of Google Summer of Code. He is a first year student
of Bachelor’s in Computer Science and Engineering. He will be
working on creating a widget to easily create pagelists on
Wikisource. Sam Wilson (primary mentor) and I (co-mentor) will be
mentoring this project.

This project was prioritized because Index creation wizard
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2020/Wikisource/Index_creation_wizard>was
one of the highly voted proposals inCommunity Wishlist Survey 2020
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2020>,
coming at 6th spot, but couldn’t make it to the Top 5. More
updates on the next steps related to the Wishlist process will
follow shortly.

Further details and progress related to this project can tracked

Feel free to provide any feedback that you might have related to
the project on the phabricator ticket. We will be regularly
providing updates to the community as well.

P.S. Sohom also contributes to English Wikipedia and English
Wikisource in his free time under the username: Sohom data
