Wikisource does also have a lot of unfinished works, but it has that advantage that literally anyone[1] with an interest can come along and push them into a proofread state.
In fact, the Monthly Challenge is also deliberately trying to promote this, as well as converting very old copy-paste drive-bys (often from PG, actually, from before Wikisource had the page-by-page proofreading) into modern editions verifiable against a specific original.
[1]: You don't even need do to register an account to enter the text, but you do to mark a page as proofread, since there's a two-pass validation system and it works by accounts. It doesn't require an email.
