Great interview Erik!  Thank you for forwarding it
here, I never would have come across it on my own.  I
love the idea of having these files with our articles
and Zhaladshar has been doing great work with them. 
It would be wonderful if we could get together with
them and compare our catalogs somehow.  It would be
very interesting to see where they diverge.  I imagine
they are a bit stronger in poetry and have few of the
historical speeches available at the english
Wikisource.  Also to compare the categorization and
navigation of both our catalogs.  I am sure we are
both tackling similar issues and sharing ideas and
experiences is always beneficial.
