                        Last Week We Reached

                      1,000 eBooks for 2003!!!

                        This Week We Reached
                       A Grand Total of 7803!

          Will a book from you get us to the 7900 mark!?!?!?


[The Newsletter is now being sent in three sections, so you can directly
go to the portions you find most interesting:  1.  Founder's Comments,
2. News, Notes & Queries, and  3. Weekly eBook Update Listing.]

  This is Michael Hart's "Founder's Comments" section of the Newsletter


  1 Year Ago, This Month, Thursday, April 10, 2002 PG Reached 5,000 eBooks!

                     Today we passed 7,800!!!

               That's ~2,800 New eBooks In ~12 Months!!!

     That's 100 Over 1/4 of the 10,000 eBook Goal We Started On!

                    Less Than 2,200 to #10,000!!!

       That means the part of the 10,000 we have already done
         is over 3 1/2 TIMES AS BIG as what is left to do!!!


Over Our 31 3/4 Year History, We Have Now Averaged About 200 Ebooks/Year--
And Last Year Averaged About That Same 200 eBook Level. . .PER MONTH!!!!!


             So far this year we are averaging ~280!!!

 This month, if we are lucky, we will do 300 for the first time!!!

***

    Here's a quick picture of where we are in our pursuit of #10,000

Imagine the 10,000 books have been separated into 9 stacks of 1,111 each,
we have just now completed 7 stacks leaving just two stacks to go:

[For me, we'd like to have one of these, will pay for it plus shipping:]

For value for money you can't beat the Franklin eBookMan, out of
production but currently on sale in the US for $30 at Fry's. The eBM is
quirky but lovable and has gradually accumulated a reasonable collection
of software in addition to the standard PDA bits and pieces, including
the MobiPocket Reader. Top-end models have a backlit screen. Ideal for
beginners. The main drawback is the daft protection system which
requires each individual eBM to be separately registered with Franklin
before it can be used - so no in-store demos, and if you lose the
operating system you've got to go online on your own PC to download it
again. It supports MMC cards but not Sdata.

DISTRIBUTED PROOFREADERS NEEDS CONTENT, PROOFERS AND SCANNER TYPES

We need a volunteer near Chicago to help feed books to our newest
super-scanner. . .we have a stack of 200 waiting, and just cannot
stay away to feed them in 24/7.

Thanks to very good recent publicity, the Distributed Proofreading
project has greatly accelerated its pace.   Please visit the site:
http://texts01.archive.org/dp for more information about how you can
help, by scanning just a few pages per day.

If you have a book that has been scanned but have not yet run through
OCR (optical character recognition) please email pg@aldarondo.net
with information -- they'd be happy work on it.

Also, DP is seeking public domain books not already in the
Project Gutenberg collection.  To see what is already online, visit
http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/GUTINDEX.ALL (a text file), since the
online database doesn't reflect recent additions.  Please email
charlz@lvcablemodem.com if you have books to send, or simply send them
(note that DP generally chops books to scan them, and usually does not
return scanned books).

More. . . .

Do you have Public Domain books your would like to see in the archive?
Can they be destructively scanned? If so send them to the Distributed
Proofreading Team!

Please make sure that they are _not_ already in the archive and please check
them against David's In Progress list at

to ensure no one is currently working on them. It would also be helpful if
you clear them before mailing the books, send the 'OK' lines to

--HOW TO GET EBOOKS FROM OUR MIRROR SITES

Newest Project Gutenberg Mirror!
by Northshore Computer Solutions
http://www.northshorecomputer.net/pg
My name is Jeff Williamson, operating a Linux Server in New Orleans, LA.
Happy to help to spread literacy through the Internet.


http://promo.net/pg (aka http://www.gutenberg.net) allows searching by
title, author, language and subject.  Mirrors (copies) of the complete
collection are available around the world.

http://www.promo.net/pg/list.html can get you to the nearest one.


These sites and indices are not instant, as the cataloguing needs to be
done by our professional Chief Cataloguer. . .who is half way around the
world for the next week or three. . .so this is more important than usual.


--"INSTANT" ACCESS TO OUR LATEST eBOOKS

Use your Web browser or FTP program to visit our master download
site (or a mirror) if you know the filename you want.  Try:

http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext04
or
ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext04

and look for the first five letters of the filesname.  Note that updated
eBooks usually go in their original directory (e.g., etext99, etext00, etc.)

Statistical Review

In the 17 weeks of this year, we have produced 1059 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 1997 to produce our FIRST 1000 eBooks!!!

         That's 17 WEEKS as Compared to 26 YEARS!!!


The production statistics are calculated based on full weeks of
production, each production-week starting/ending Wednesday noon,
starting with the first Wednesday in January.  January 1st was
was the first Wednesday of 2003, and thus ended the production
year of 2002 and began the production year of 2003.

With 7,800 eBooks online as of April 30, 2003 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $1.28 from each book,
for Project Gutenberg to have currently given away $1,000,000,000,000
[One Trillion Dollars] in books.

100,000,000 readers is only about 1.59 percent of the world's population!

This "cost" is down from about $1.94 when we had 5150 eBooks A Year Ago

Can you imagine 7,000 books each costing $.65 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine 7,000 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???

At 7802 eBooks in 31.8 Years We Averaged Approximately
    245 Per Year   [About how many we do per month these days!]
     20 Per Month
     .7 Per Day

At 1059 eBooks Done In 2003 We Averaged
      9 Per Day

From Newsscan

JOBS: 'WE BELIEVE IN THE FUTURE OF MUSIC'
Apple Computer launched its iTunes Music Store on Monday in a move that CEO
Steve Jobs called "a major milestone in the evolution of the real digital
music age. We believe in the future of music." iTunes offers 200,000
downloadable songs for 99 cents apiece and is the first industry-endorsed
online music service to forgo subscription fees in favor of a
"pay-per-download" business model. Jobs said the real draw for music fans
will be the easy-to-use interface and high-quality files available at the
iTunes Music Store. "Using current piracy services is very frustrating. It
takes you 15 minutes to find and download a song of reasonable quality that
doesn't have the last four seconds cut off or a break in the middle. We
offer super-fast, high-quality downloads with pristine encoding. You
certainly can't get that on any other service -- pirate or legal." (Los

A BOUNTY ON THE HEADS OF SPAMMERS
Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren plans to introduce legislation drafted by
Stanford law professor Larry Lessig that would require unsolicited
commercial e-mails ("spam") to be identified as advertising and would put
a bounty on anyone who breaks that law, by offering rewards of thousands of
dollars or more to the person who is first to provide the government with
proof and the identity of offending spammers. Lessig is so confident his
war on spam will be effective that he's promising to quit his Stanford job
if the bill becomes law and "does not substantially reduce the level of spam."
(San Jose Mercury News 26 Apr 2003)

ISP HEAVYWEIGHTS TACKLE SPAM
America Online, Microsoft and Yahoo are joining together in an effort to
vanquish spam, and are calling for technical changes in the way that e-mail
is routed through cyberspace to make it easier to identify the true sender
and content of messages. "We are talking about working on ways to change
the dynamics of the e-mail system to make it easier to determine what is
fraudulent," says MSN VP Brian Arbogast. The companies say they haven't yet
discussed exactly what the standards should be, but have agreed they want
to include other competitors in their discussions. "Working together, we
will have better information about who are the kingpins that are sending
the largest volume of spam to our users," says an AOL spokesman. (New York

[GROKSTER AND STREAMCAST: THEY DIDN'T DO IT]

GROKSTER AND STREAMCAST: WE DIDN'T DO IT
A federal judge has ruled that two Internet music services that offer
peer-to-peer software used by millions of people to share copyrighted music
illegally are not themselves guilty of copyright infringement. The judge's
reasoning was that, since the technology is also used for many perfectly
legal purposes, the two services should not be held responsible in those
cases when it happens to be used for illegal purposes. The ruling will be
appealed. The music industry insists that the two services, Grokster and
StreamCast, are overwhelmingly used by people to exchange copyrighted
material, and that legal uses are insignificant. Many industry analysts
predict that the industry will soon have to change fundamentally and begin
providing inexpensive, easy-to-access music over the Internet. (New York

From Edupage

[I heard similar news about the U of Illinois on their AM PBS station,
which included news that while funding was being cut to universities,
money was being set aside to give to returning veterans from Iraq.]

WASHINGTON STATE BUDGET CUTS AFFECT IT PROGRAMS
As in many other states, institutions of higher education in Washington
State are facing severe cuts in state funding. Some higher education
officials have expressed concern that, because technology programs are
among the most costly, they will be some of the most significantly
affected by proposed budget cuts. Some administrators and business
leaders in the state argue that such cuts are likely to exacerbate the
economic problems that have led to the cuts in the first place.
Washington State, they said, lacks adequate numbers of graduates with
high-tech training, and restricting the capacity of technology programs
will hamper efforts to fill the high-tech jobs in the state. Ken Myer,
president of the Technology Alliance, a consortium of state businesses
and institutions, said what the state needs is to expand, not contract,
those programs, which will ultimately benefit the state's economy.

SALES OF HANDHELD DEVICES DROP SHARPLY
A report from International Data Corp. shows a sharp decline in the
numbers of handheld computing devices shipped in the first quarter of
the year. Shipments were down 21 percent from the same quarter last
year and 27 percent from the fourth quarter of 2002. According to the
data, Palm held the largest portion of the handheld market, with 36
percent, followed by Hewlett-Packard and Sony. Dell moved into fourth
place with 6.5 percent of the market. Kevin Burden of IDC said, "The
handheld market is a victim of its own early success." He said the
target audience has not changed much, and large numbers are choosing
not to upgrade to newer devices. The data do not include devices that
combine handheld computing with cellular phones.

FEARING PROSECUTION, STUDENT MOVES RESEARCH TO NETHERLANDS
Fearing prosecution under a new Michigan law, a graduate student at the
University of Michigan at Ann Arbor has relocated his research to a Web
server in the Netherlands. Niels Provos, a German citizen, is
conducting doctoral research in steganography, which involves
developing software that can find concealed messages in image files and
prevent messages from being detected. The law, which Provos says is
extremely broad, prohibits technology that can "conceal the existence
or place of origin or destination of any telecommunications service."
Visitors to Provos's site are now asked if they are residents of the
United States. Unless they answer No, they are not admitted. Provos
said the law should be changed to allow researchers to work without
risking prosecution. In the meantime, he said, he will do what is
necessary to comply with the law.
