Wikisource, The Free Library.

If you love Wikisource as much as the rest of us, please consider donating to Wikimedia here. Donations also keep Jimmy Wales from creeping everybody out by having his face everywhere on Wikimedia sites.

Discussion about Wikisource, Wikimedia's free library project. Wikisource includes books, documents, academic papers, lyrics, sheet music, and other public domain texts. Feel free to post your favorite completed works, offer up some projects that need some help (transcribing, translating, formatting, etc.), or ask technical questions about wiki-editing with MediaWiki software.
