I am not here anymore.
I am done contributing @ ws/en, until the community figures out what the hell they are doing;
At the very least as regards respecting appropriate deletion procedures.
otherwise, i'm just wasting my time.
Hi;
In the community here, I'm mainly a hunter-gatherer; I find content in the wild, catch 'em, & drag them back to the cave/village for processing....
The processing I leave to others.
Worship me for my hunting-prowess? :p
OTHER online PD "e-book" sites:
biblio.wiki
gutenberg.net
gutenberg.au
gutenberg.ca
fadedpage.com
archive.org
____.za
etc.
as of now, there are literally hundreds of thousands of public domain "e-book" titles online (at least), free, & available in CLEAN COPY
what makes wikisource "special" (&/or useful), in terms of potential at least, comes down to 2 things:
1. we have greater flexibility in ORGANISING content (& work).
2. we are "plugged in" to wikipedia, wmc, wikiquote, wikidata, wikibooks/versity, etc.
users can google, go to the wikipedia article, then find everything related (at least everything free-to-use; pd or cc);
"one-stop shopping"
a user, student say, should be able to start with the wp article about H. L. Mencken,
get some images & maybe audio/video from wmc
(, maybe a few choice quotes for their homework from wq),
AND get the full text of EVERYTHING MENCKEN HAS WRITTEN, -pre 1923 at least,
from "us"
when wikisource/en can do that, then we will be "fulfilling our mission".
