Two things about http://tools.wmflabs.org/ws-cat-browser/ —
1. I've changed the ownership of this tool, and it's now at
https://github.com/wikisource/ws-cat-browser
2. It's slightly multi-lingual now. At least, it allows browsing of the
Italian categories now. All the UI text is still in English I'm afraid.
I'd like to add languages, but need to know the names of 'validated
works' and root-level categories (e.g. for French it's perhaps
"Catégorie:100%", but I'm not really sure; that might be old).
Thanks,
Sam.

I could blunder in and post in english on their Scriptorium/Pub/Cafe,
but that seems rather rude. :)

Does anybody know who is operating this repository?
https://github.com/Wikisource
Would it be possible to add more admins to make it the official repository
for Wikisource scripts?
Thanks!

Iwpage is javascript (old-style) based, t.i. the resulting html can't be
exported into ePub, it "does not exists" from server point of view. Is
there any work in progress to implement it into proofread page extension?
The best would be that #lst, <page> and <pages> would run interproject
transclusion with the current syntax (just adding a language prefix to base
page name).

Etiamsi omnes, ego non
[the things we think about on long commutes and not wanting to do more work]
An issue that has long perplexed me with WD and the book and edition
properties, and translations.
If every edition is based on a publication (time and place), and someone
does a translation, then this translation is going to be a new edition,
new translator(s), different VIAF, etc. [basically it has its own metadata]
so it is a different WD entry.
Sooooo, how do we use WD to do interlanguage linking, as by it's definition
about all we could link are disambiguation pages. Seems pointless, and
self-defeating.
Regards, Billinghurst.
