If you can't think of any particular corners to improve on Wikisource, how about taking a look at Portal:Religious texts, Portal:Wars or Portal:Texts by Country for some ideas? Don't forget to list your contributions on those pages as well so others will find and read them in the future!

Index:Aboriginal welfare 1937.djvu
Hi Misarxist, I replaced the text layer and removed the delete it tag. The new text layer is far to be good, but a lot better than the ancient, I think it's doable now. If you want to get a look to the quality of text layer get a look at page number >= 4, I already corrected partially the first three before adding the text layer.

 * For the copyright I think the claim of the National Library is sufficient but I'm pretty lame on copyright issue. For the djvu I used tesseract to do the OCR but it is tedious to do, I needed to treat each image to strengthen the character drawing. I've no easy how todo it, rather it involded using djvulibre tools to extract image, ImageMagick tools to treat each image, tesseract to do the OCR and an additional pass through a sort of check speller to clean it up a bit, and even with that the text layer is full of error.

Congrats Index:An Australian Parsonage.djvu
Congratulations on the completion of the work. I saw that you had started the construction of the ToC for the work. You may wish to consider that we transclude pages ix – xvi and some of the early pages to the work rather than construct a separate ToC. We can do the wikilinks to make work fine. — billinghurst  sDrewth  14:05, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Australia : An appeal to the world on behalf of the younger branch of the family of Shem
Proofread and transcluded, though we are missing some Greek characters, though that is not my skill set. — billinghurst  sDrewth  08:26, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Cool. I'll add the greek sometime when I haven't been staring at a screen for too long.Misarxist (talk) 14:00, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

The Aborigines of Australia
I'm not sure what you were trying to do there, but you left a trail of broken redirects behind, and you broke The Aborigines of Australia/Chapter 3. Don't mean to obstruct you; just couldn't see a more appropriate way to clean up than to put things back the way they were. Hesperian 00:34, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

One page needs validating - Melbourne and Mars
Could you please validate this page - Page:Melbourne and Mars.djvu/106 - then the Index can be validated. --kathleen wright5 (talk) 00:27, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

nop and its placement
When using nop in the Page: ns to terminate a page, it is only really functional when it is stuck on a newline. The quirky application that is Mediawiki gobbles empty last lines, so the nop basically becomes a placeholder for the empty line, and then gives us a new paragraph when the two pages transclude. — billinghurst  sDrewth  03:33, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

An alternative that I used for cited text
You did the work The Last of the Tasmanians and you accordingly get to lead the 'formatting rights' for the work. When validating I see there are reproduced letters and cited text which you have typeset them with a smaller font, eg. Chapter 4. In other works, I had done that, though stopped and changed to utilise &lt;blockquote> for those sections (an example), as I found that the slabs of reduced text size to me was just less legible on some screens, and some browsers. As whitespace, and page numbers is our worry, like the book publishers of the time, for such works, I just made that change. Anyway, no issue to me, there is absolutely nothing wrong with what you have done, I just thought that I would show an alternative that I had used. Thanks for listening. — billinghurst  sDrewth  23:12, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

Wikisource User Group
Wikisource, the free digital library is moving towards better implementation of book management, proofreading and uploading. All language communities are very important in Wikisource. We would like to propose a Wikisource User Group, which would be a loose, volunteer organization to facilitate outreach and foster technical development, join if you feel like helping out. This would also give a better way to share and improve the tools used in the local Wikisources. You are invited to join the mailing list 'wikisource-l' (English), the IRC channel #wikisource, the facebook page or the Wikisource twitter. As a part of the Google Summer of Code 2013, there are four projects related to Wikisource. To get the best results out of these projects, we would like your comments about them. The projects are listed at Wikisource across projects. You can find the midpoint report for developmental work done during the IEG on Wikisource here.

Catalpa
Hello Misarxist. I moved and made a start at Index:The Catalpa Expedition (1897).djvu. I hope you didn’t mind. Moondyne (talk) 14:57, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
