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!

I'll let Jay answer your question in full, but since you seem to be online right now and he is not — I'll point you to Portal:Case law and Portal:Scientology :) Sherurcij Collaboration of the Week: Author:Nostradamus‎. 20:19, 8 December 2008 (UTC)


 * We do have a lot of court documents, as only opinions of federal courts are in the public domain, but there are a few in Category:Case documents. We do want more, if we can obtain the necessary copyright clearances, however one unwritten policy is that if a document unduly focuses a living person, we want verification of the document by way of pagescans (i.e. a PDF or series of images), and there needs to be a clear rationale for the document being more accessible.  e.g. someone added a document about a medical malpractice suit, without pagescans, so there was a community discussion and we deleted it.  See here
 * That said, we do not have a "notability" requirement - we only require that it is real (published,) and of interest to someone. See "What we include" - I recommend you start by working on documents which clearly fit within our inclusion policy, and work on more obscure documents once you have a better feel for the project.  If you have questions, ask Sherurcij or I, or raise them on our community discussion board.

 * Thank you! Documents I can provide usually have to be scanned in and would be provided as PDF. I don't know how much time I can put in OCRing them but that would be a later step. Proximodiz (talk) 04:36, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
 * We have tools to do the OCR and, if they are interesting documents, people will do the OCR/transcription/cleanup for you. I'm looking forward to see what you can bring. John Vandenberg (chat) 06:37, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
