from there in the source project.
That's why there would be a source namespace; anything in the source namespace
would have special annotation functions above and beyond that allowed for
other modules.
Don't get me wrong, if that was already decided a
long
time ago (can't remember...) then never mind.
Yes, Wikibooks has already decided to host source texts and to annotate them.
I won't go berserk if I'd find that
biochemistry book
next to some annotated Shakespeare text.
It won't be any closer than an article on Larry Flint is from quantum
mechanics on Wikipedia.
It just seems to be something different by concept
to me.
No, not at all. The whole point of Wikibooks is to host books that are used by
students to learn. Part of that is source texts and the other part is
textbooks. We plan to add value to those source texts by adding annotation.
No separate project needed (a sub-project of Wikibooks might be needed
though).
