There is a bug filed for this feature (check bug 15071&lt;https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15071&gt;) by the wikimedia community developers. This extension would enable the users to group selected pages into logical 'books' and use these books as per their needs. We are currently working on defining the scope of this project, but an initial thought to this project defines the following deliverables for this extension: 1. Create a book 2. Page addition wizard (also containing search filters for finding particular pages) 3. Import book metadata (where user can directly add set of pages from his export list) 4. Export book metadata (export the book details containing all page links to a file which can be saved by user, similar to MetaBooks) 5. Add to a book option for every page 6. Table of contents for a book 7. Read a book (navigate through pages or some kind of an ajax based book reader) 8. Recent changes for each book 9. Create chapters 10. Arrange order of pages in a book 11. Protect/watchlist/move/delete all pages of a book 12. List books 13. Search for a book 14. Search in a book 15. Automatic Bookshelves, where the books of a wiki could be organized according to their metadata (examples: English&lt;https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/en:Wikibooks:Departments&gt;, Portuguese &lt;https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/pt:Wikilivros:Biblioteca&gt;, ...) This feature is an extension of Collection&lt;http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Collection&gt;and BookManager &lt;http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:BookManager&gt; and intends to add additional functionalities described above to them. It would be great if I could get some suggestions from the Wikibooks community developers about their requirements, the features they would like to see and any implementation ideas. I have created a topic&lt;https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikibooks:Reading_room/Proposals#Book_feature_for_Wikibooks&gt;in the Reading room for the same. Kindly add your valuable suggestions for this project. Thanks in advance.

Actual proposals, of whatever form, are due in September, but a statement of interest is due by June 15. If you are interested in the subject, or currently working on a project you could see being part of such a public resource, you can submit a statement online: http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/dpla/forms/statement-of-interest/ See below for background on the DPLA. While this group is focused on a national project for a single country (formed by a consortium of US libraries, foundations, and academics) , they are conscious of the need to do something similar worldwide, and committed to making this process and ersulting tools as open and reusable as possible.

To: "berkmanfriends-DeaNOf7Fkr6dFdvTe/nMLpVzexx5G7lz&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org" &lt;berkmanfriends-DeaNOf7Fkr6dFdvTe/nMLsd9G2dDO2Ms&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.orgu&gt; At the Digital Public Library of America, we've just announced a "Beta Sprint" to gather creative ideas, models, and other innovations that could play a role in the building of a DPLA.  We'd love to see submissions from members of this list, as we know many of you have excellent thoughts on how this effort might take shape.  Please find the full announcement below, and let me, Rebekah Heacock, and/or Maura Marx know if you have any questions or want to team up with one of the groups that appear already to be forming to make a submission. Best, John -- The Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) Steering Committee is delighted to announce today a Beta Sprint that aims to surface innovations that could play a part in the building of a digital public library. The Beta Sprint seeks, ideas, models, prototypes, technical tools, user interfaces, etc. – put forth as a written statement, a visual display, code, or a combination of forms – that demonstrate how the DPLA might index and provide access to a wide range of broadly distributed content. The Beta Sprint also encourages development of submissions that suggest alternative designs or that focus on particular parts of the system, rather than on the DPLA as a whole. The DPLA Steering Committee is leading the first concrete steps toward the realization of a large-scale digital public library that will make the cultural and scientific record available to all. The DPLA planning initiative grew out of an October 2010 meeting at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, which brought together over 40 representatives from foundations, research institutions, cultural organizations, government, and libraries to discuss best approaches to building a national digital library. Subsequent workshops in March and May have addressed the content, scope, and technical aspects of a DPLA. “As the DPLA planning initiative moves forward, we are optimistic that the DPLA community and public can help us think about what a DPLA might look like, in practical – and perhaps unexpected – ways, as platform, architecture, interface, and beyond,” said John Palfrey, chair of the DPLA Steering Committee. “We hope geeks and librarians, especially, will join forces to develop beta submissions in support of this initiative.” “The Beta Sprint is where the dream of a seamless and comprehensive digital library for every person begins to grapple, technically and creatively, with what has already been accomplished and what still need to be developed,” said Doron Weber, Vice President of Programs at the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and a Steering Committee member. “The DPLA represents the broadest coalition of stakeholders ever assembled who are dedicated to free and universal access to knowledge for all, and the Beta Sprint will help us kick off an 18-month program to construct, brick by digital brick, this beautiful new edifice.” For inspiration, Beta Sprint participants might consider the general approach taken by initiatives whose leaders are on the DPLA Steering Committee, such as the Internet Archive, Public.Resource.Org, the Hathi Trust, American Memory, and others, as well as the Europeana project and the national digital libraries in the Netherlands, Norway, and South Korea. Submission instructions and more information are available at http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/dpla, where you can also watch a short video about the Beta Sprint. Statements of interest must be received by June 15, 2011. Final submissions will be due by September 1, 2011. A review panel appointed by the Steering Committee and composed of experts in the fields of library science, information management, and computer science will review Beta Sprint submissions in early September. Creators of the most promising betas will be invited to present their ideas to interested stakeholders and community members during a public meeting in Washington, DC. # # # About the Digital Public Library of America The Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) planning initiative is an impact-oriented research effort that unites leaders from all types of libraries, museums, and archives with educators, industry, and government to define the vision for a digital library in service of the American public. The DPLA Secretariat is located at the Berkman Center for Internet &amp; Society at Harvard University; the Steering Committee comprises library and foundation leaders across the nation.

MediaWiki is the software that runs all Wikimedia wikis. The most visible change for Wikimedia users will be the deployment of ResourceLoader [1]. ResourceLoader optimizes the use of JavaScript in MediaWiki, speeding up its delivery by compressing it sometimes, and cutting down on the amount of unused JavaScript that gets delivered to the browser in the first place. The installation of ResourceLoader may cause compatibility issues with existing JavaScript code. Trevor Parscal and Roan Kattouw, the main developers of ResourceLoader, will be available on IRC [2] on Monday, February 14th, at 18:00 (UTC) [3], to answer questions and help fix issues related to ResourceLoader. *If you maintain JavaScript code on your home wiki, please attend.* Don't wait until your wiki's JavaScript is all broken. Please spread this information as widely as possible; it's critical to reach as many local JavaScript maintainers as possible. Logs of the session will be published publicly.

I am pleased to advise that the analysis of the data from the completed online questionnaires has been finalized. The analysis provides some initial insights into the reasons Wikibookians contribute to Wiki textbook projects. However, some of these results require further investigation to gain a better understanding of the motivation of Wikibooks' contributors.
