Wikisource:Open Library
Open Library is a project of the non-profit Internet Archive. Open Library claims to have 6 million authors and 20 million book records (not works), and about one million Public Domain books are available as digitized books.
Which partnership could be possible[edit]
From WS towards IA:
- Wikisource could upload back into the Internet Archive the proofread works. Hurdle: WS has no means (yet) of embedding proofread text back into the Djvu files.
- Books in Commons that are missing in the Internet Archive could be uploaded.
From OL/IA towards IA:
- An indication when there is a proofread work in Wikisource.
- An invitation to proofread texts in WS when that book is present.
Status[edit]
OL is still gathering a working community, not that many resources are available, but there is openness for a collaboration.
