Editorial
Hello,
Are we on a sabbatical this week after all that euphoria*? Of course
not! In fact, after last Wednesday, things appear to have gone
completely crackers around here. There are people building websites
(you can hear the hammering from here), press kits being handed out at
DP and that shop idea hasn't gone away - still need a designer
though. Don't go away, in fact, I seem to remember a set of
instructions on a box of fireworks when I was younger. 'Light blue
touch paper, and retire'. No chance of retiring, but I'm sure someone
just got their matches out.
* Please note the educational value of Project Gutenberg. In the last
year I have learnt to spell Egyptology and euphoria!
Happy reading,
Alice

============= [ SUBMIT A NEW EBOOK FOR COPYRIGHT CLEARANCE ]==============
If you have a book you would like to confirm is in the public domain in
the US, and therefore suitable for Project Gutenberg, please do the
following:
1. Check whether we have the eBook already. Look in
http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/GUTINDEX.ALL
which is updated weekly. (The searchable catalog at
http://www.gutenberg.net lags behind by several months)
2. Check the "in progress" list to see whether someone is already
working on the eBook. Sometimes, books are listed as in progress for
years - if so, email David Price (his address is on the list) to ask
for contact information for the person working on the book. The "in
progress" list:
http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html
3. If the book seems to be a good candidate (pre-1923 publication
date, or 1923-1988 published in the US without a copyright notice),
submit scans of the title page and verso page (even if the verso is
blank) to:
http://beryl.ils.unc.edu/copy.html
You'll hear back within a few days.

2) News and Comment
North Dakota & New Mexico
We are again looking for people to exist in these states. Just to
remind you this is to help with PG's registered status in all fifty
states. As PG has to register separately in all 50 states we are
required to have a registered person with a real address. Now you
don't have to physically 'do' anything except give your name and
address just in case one of those people who ticks boxes for a living
happens to call, if they do, you can just refer them on the Anne or
Greg and that's it. If you think you can help, or you know someone who
can please contact me and I will pass you over to Anne.
We ran this last week, but no response, so here it is again. (Careful
now, I could just run this article on it's own over and over!)

Lessons in ebooks
Occasionally, I get mails asking how to go about downloading texts
from Project Gutenberg. Thanks to a new set of lessons from Candida
Martinelli, all mystery is now lifted.
Candida has put together six lessons to explain just about everything
you might need to know to get started with finding a text,
downloading, use and management, they are well worth a look. You can
find the lessons at:

Distributed Proofreaders Update
In the column for 1st of the month, I closed with the words: 'Enjoy
October!' If I could change just one thing about that column, it would
be minor spelling alteration. What I should have said was, 'Enjoy
Rocktober!'
Yes...that would about sum up the energy and forward motion of this
month. The force and momentum of which was already gaining
acceleration by mid September has increased with every passing week.
This abundant success is not limited to the most prominent activity at
DP--proofing pages--the prosperity shines forth in every sector of
development and production. The pages proofed are the most obvious
indication of activity, and as such their numbers are nothing short of
astounding. No month is DP's history has seen such sustained levels of
proofing output.
As of this writing on Wednesday afternoon, the monthly objective of
130,200 pages has been surpassed by 1,500 already. By the end of
today, the impressive proofing of January 2003 will have also been
outdone, leaving only November 2002 in the path of October becoming
the most productive month since DP was created. This too, will soon
change. It would seem certain now that sometime this weekend the
'Great November of 2002,' which transformed DP forever, will be set
into a new perspective by the dynamic prosperity of this new era. If
you like great celebrations, then make your way over to the site this
weekend.
If you should be occupied for the next few days, don't worry that you
will miss outcompletely. The celebrations are already beginning today
with the early passage ofthe monthly goal, and the are set to continue
right through to the end of the month. Actually...the real party will
only begin in the final hours of the month as DP holds it's Grand
Halloween Ball. Preparations are well underway, with several
revellers already in full costume. Content providers have been
crawling through dark cellars and dusty attics to locate spooky ghost
tales and tomes of lore to proof all through the 31st...and the Master
of Ceremonies, Dr. Gutenstein is already cooking up weird and wondrous
trials of fortune for all of us. An interesting end indeed is
promised to this magical, ever-surprising month.
October was also 'Post Processing Month.' The goal was to see 300
books out of Post Processing and into the Verification stage. As of
yesterday, 245 have been completed. That's 5 more books then were
ever posted to PG in a single month. Can we see 350 by November. It
looks likely to be even higher.
It all seems so very appropriate to the month in which Project Gutenberg
reached it's 10,000th edition. With a magnificent salute to past
accomplishments, the crew of DP looks forward to a grand and expansive
future. It's a new frontier after the 10K landmark, and with a great
shout we are running forward into it with arms wide.
Next week, we will review this historic month, and outline in detail the
most promising developments of the months ahead.
For now...

3) Notes and Queries, Reviews and Features
What's Cooking? Part 2
The cooking of one hundred years ago and more does not always appeal
to the modern palate. Sometimes the instructions alone are enough to
put one off; those who are accustomed to buy cut-up meat at the
grocery and transfer it to the pan without ever touching it might not
be attracted by the sometimes endless descriptions of the parts of the
cow, lamb, etc., the various cuts of meat, and the proper color of
flesh and fat. Or, how about this recipe:
Mock-Turtle Soup:
This soup should be prepared the day before it is to be served up. One
calf's head, well cleaned and washed. Lay the head in the bottom of a
large pot. One onion; six cloves; ten allspice; one bunch parsley; one
carrot; salt to taste; cover with four quarts of water. Boil three
hours, or until the flesh will slip easily from the bones; take out
the head; chop the meat and tongue very fine; set aside the brains;
remove the soup from the fire; strain carefully and set away until the
next day. An hour before dinner take off all fat and set on as much of
the stock to warm as you need. When it boils drop in a few squares of
the meat you have reserved, as well as the force balls. To prepare
these, rub the yolk of three hard boiled eggs to a paste in a wooden
bowl, adding gradually the brains to moisten them;[...] --From
_Favorite Recipes_ (whose favorite, we wonder...)
And here is a classic breakfast dish which Mother Used to Make:
Take stale brown bread, no matter how dry, and boil until it is soft
like pudding
Serve hot.
As unexciting as this sounds, it might be preferable to Brain Cakes:
When the head is cloven, take out the brains and clear them of
strings, beat them up with the yelks[*] of two eggs, some crumbs of
bread, pepper, salt, fine parsley, a spoonful of cream, and a spoonful
of flour; when they are well mixed, drop them with a spoon into a
frying-pan with a little hot butter, and fry them of a light-brown
color. [* This book, _Domestic Cookery_, uses "yelks" instead of
"yolks" throughout.]
Cookbooks making their way through Distributed Proofreaders have been
the source of a number of contributions to the famous General Forum
thread, "Most amusing (or astonishing) text you've come across."
Besides marveling over brains and stale brown bread, DPers post the
amusing errors introduced by OCR software (and which it is DP's
mission to correct), for example:
[...] you may make a sauce by flavouring your melted butler with a
glass of port wine, and an anchovy boned and minced.
Or:
[...] have your pot boiling, scald the hag, flour it, and put in the
pudding,--it will boil in two hours. Eat with sugar and cream,
molasses, or any kind of pudding sauce.
Instructions are lacking, however, on how to make the butler and the
hag stand still for such treatment.
On the other hand, there are quite a number of recipes in these ebooks
that sound perfectly delicious, for instance:
A TRIFLE.
A quart of cream.
A quarter of a pound of loaf sugar, powdered.
Half a pint of white wine and Half a gill of brandy mixed.
Eight maccaroons, or more if you choose.
Four small sponge-cakes or Naples biscuit.
Two ounces of blanched sweet almonds, pounded in a mortar.
One ounce of blanched bitter almonds or peach-kernels.
The juice and grated peel of two lemons.
A nutmeg, grated.
A glass of noyau.
A pint of rich baked custard, made of the yolks of eggs.
[...] a little rose-water
--From _Seventy-Five Receipts_, by Miss Leslie
Obviously trifles were rather more interesting in the olden
days.... Although I'm not sure what a gill is, or Naples biscuit, or
noyau, but I'm willing to do some research so that I can concoct this
monstrously rich dessert.
Here I will leave you to your own investigations into PG's collection
of cookery books. For a full listing, please see part 1 of this
article which appeared in last week's newsletter. Bon appetit!

Notes from Posted
Fat weeks and skinny weeks... This week was definitely fat in
'Posted', probably thanks to euphoria about our 10,000th book. Wow -
everyday it was getting more and more interesting: Eloquent mail of
M.Hart about formats of future PG collection distribution, stories
in Slashdot*, next target plank, something about audio books - I still
am not sure about what actually happened over there - but it seems
that there is now a program that converts audio books to acceptable in
visual impaired community and it will be opened for trial on Slashdot
(the mystical line "this slashdotter diary is baseline #1." is
probably the key one...), and that the goal is to have all books in
multiple format- texts or audio.
Knowledge and Technology! Indeed all computers are coming now with
DVD and moreover, all companies finally came to agreement that they
are recognizing the formats of each other, even RAM is now supported
by many of DVD-writers and most of the readers. What a peaceful
solution in the world of competition! However, the world can not
refrain from changes. Double-side, double layer DVD is already
definitely not enough (it is only about 16 Gb as far as I remember...)
and big sharks are heading long time towards new horizons - IBMs
punched card (back to root so to speak...) based on nanotechnology
will be in the market in 3 years time. The new punchcard will be able
to store more than 25 million pages of information on the surface the
size of a postage stamp. They still do not know which products they
will make based on it, but this is only matter of time. Panasonic has
already selling the video cameras that do not require tape- the
information is written directly to the chip that can be played on any
computer. So one can easily extrapolate and see the small punch card
that will include whole set of audio/texts/images of free e-library
together with the corresponding movies (what is the copyright time for
movies ?) that can be inserted to the handheld with expandable
screen...
Also the electronic paper is not at all given up. In 2001 Technology
Review wrote "Gutenberg's printing press needed paper to make a
revolution. The clunky e-book needs e-paper. And it's on the way." It
is still on its way, however it looks more promising now when finally
the healthy competition came to the market. Now, according to
Scientific American the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) and the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Laboratory are going head
by head towards the first commercial release. "Both firms base their
core technologies on tiny, electrically charged beads, with the
imaging capability controlled electronically. And they are not only
racing each other to commercialize their efforts but are also
anticipating competition from the organic light-emitting diodes that
are beginning to emerge from laboratories." The people in the journal
are hoping that the release of 2010 will be printed on the e-paper
already.
Future targets, long-term goals and all-out technology attempts- the
common base for them is an explicit belief that the world or perhaps
it is more correct to say, our part of it will go on in the same
direction as the last 200 years. It is kind of like trying to dig deep
with a kids toy-scoop, but I feel kind of concerned from time to
time, probably since I am from a part of the world where the worries
about how to publish the free electronic library look as real as
worries about how to build nice summer-house on the moon when the
earth-moon shuttles will be available,... some annoying features but
in general inevitable.
The educated PhD in Saudi Arabia wrote an article where he
scientifically proved that women can not drive a car. It is not about
the fact that millions and millions have never touched the keyboard
and there is still very little chance they will do it in the near
future. This is about a different world format. So different, that you
can not even get close to grasp it. When I was young and extremely
moneyless, I worked on the archeological sites side by side with many
others and with local Arabs as well. We drank real Bedouins coffee
(strong and sweet with a lot of cardamom in it) together and spoke
about the world's problems. And they told me and other "whites" very
calmly "Sure we are drinking coffee now and it is nice. But one day my
son will come to the street and will kill you and I will not say a
word to him. There is no place in this world for both of us". There
was nothing hostile in his tone, just merely an ascertaining of the
facts.
What reformatting program should be applied that his grand-grandson
will order a small piece of hardware (whatever it will be in the
future... a tiny Universal E-Book or a chip that youll plug in your
head!) with the title - "Anniversary PG edition - Celebrate the 1M
free book with us!" and cry over the suffering of young Hamlet or
enjoy the sophistication of Carrolls dialogs? I like the ways of our
civilization (as strange as they are sometimes) and prefer to believe
that we can defend it not with the weapons in our hands, but by calm
and quiet expansion through education, education and education, in
which process the books and media are certainly one of the key
players... after good teachers, of course.
So I honestly wish to Project Gutenberg the next target of 6 digits,
long life and relationships of friendship and cooperation with other
projects that hopefully will make this world better. According to my
understanding of this word of course. The sky is the only limit, and
the ultimate goal is little bio-electronic information storage device
with whole set of past, present and future literature in all possible
formats, automatically updated with every new book released in the
world and small sign of PG will float around its virtual upper right
corner. I hope that there will be somebody to read it on this small
planet, which looks so cute from the skies.

* For those readers who are not familiar with the web's cool places
(if any?), Slashdot is the site where everybody can write/read/
comment the news that s/he think are interesting about technology,
science and related areas of the human world. The motto is 'News for
nerds. Stuff that matters', the stories are moderated and user
comments are sometimes very interesting.

I need a copy of zip for AIX that can do the "-9" high compression,
and still unzip via the standard unzip programs!!!

I am working on trying to collect and convert some public domain folk tunes
to ABC notation. Could use some help tracking down public domain versions
of the melodies or proof that these songs are in the public domain. Songs
I'm working on at present include:
I Know Where I'm Going
Simple Gifts
She Moved Throught The Fair
A Sailor Courted a Farmer's Daughter (aka Constant Lovers)
The Fisher Who Died in His Bed
Ufros Alienu
If anyone's interesting in converting folk songs to a digital public

do so through the mailing list at

can likely send you a box of CDs containing most of these

you would download the last month's/weeks' releases.
I have the first test DVD here right now!!! Nearly all
of our first 9,000 eBooks, and multiple formats!

DISTRIBUTED PROOFREADERS NEEDS CONTENT, PROOFERS AND SCANNER TYPES
Please contact us at:
dphelp@pgdp.net
if you would like to know more about the Distributed Proofreaders.
Thanks to very good recent publicity, the Distributed Proofreading
project has greatly accelerated its pace. Please visit the site:
http://www.pgdp.net
for more information about how you can help a lot, by
simply proofreading just a few pages per day, or more.
If you have a book that has been scanned, but not yet run
through OCR (optical character recognition) or proofed,
and you would like the Distributed Proofreaders to work on it,
please email dphelp@pgdp.net and we will get things started.
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.
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 email dphelp@pgdp.net with your geographic
location. You will be given the address of the nearest high-speed scanner
(note that the high-speed scanner requires destruction of the book(s) which
will not be returned). Alternatively, you can send your books directly to:
Charles Franks
9030 W. Sahara Ave. #195
Las Vegas, NV 89117
Please make sure that any books you send are _not_ already in the archive
and please check them against David's "In Progress" list at:
http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html
to ensure no one is currently working on them. It would also be helpful if
you obtain copyright clearance before mailing the books, and send the 'OK'
lines to
dphelp@pgdp.net
Do you like to work on an entire book at once but don't have the time
or technology to do the scanning, OCR, and initial proofing yourself?
Distributed Proofreaders has the perfect solution! Just send us email
telling us that you are interested in post-processing and we will help
find a you project you would like to work on.

*** HOW TO GET EBOOKS FROM OUR MIRROR SITES
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://gutenberg.net/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.
--"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.)
*** Have We Given Away A Trillion Books/Dollars Yet???
Statistical Review
In the 41 weeks of this year, we have produced 3263 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 2000 to produce our FIRST 3263 eBooks!!!
That's 41 WEEKS as Compared to ~31 YEARS!!!
With 10,006 eBooks online as of October 08, 2003 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $1.00 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 1.5% of the world's population!
This "cost" is down from about $1.63 when we had 6145 eBooks A Year Ago
Can you imagine 10,006 books each costing $.62 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine 10,006 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 10,006 eBooks in 32 Years and 4.25 Months We Averaged
309 Per Year [We do more per month these days!]
26 Per Month
.84 Per Day
At 3263 eBooks Done In The 287 Days Of 2003 We Averaged
11.4 Per Day
79.6 Per Week
350.3 Per Month
The production statistics are calculated based on full weeks'
production; each production-week starts/ends Wednesday noon,
starts with the first Wednesday of January. January 1st was
the first Wednesday of 2003, and thus ended PG's production
year of 2002 and began the production year of 2003 at noon.
This year there will be 53 Wednesdays, thus one extra week.

system and says the company will modify them in the coming year. Customers
have complained that the company's system of frequently issuing new patches
is too time-consuming and difficult, so Microsoft is now designing
technology to shield Windows from malicious e-mail messages, viruses and
worms. The changes will include shipping Windows with an Internet firewall
turned on by default, which would have blocked the recent "Blaster" virus,
and will prevent attachments from executing commands -- a common method
network vandals use to hijack computers. (San Jose Mercury News 10 Oct 2003)

INTEL'S ANDY GROVE WORRIED ABOUT U.S. LEAD IN HIGH TECH
Telling the attendees at a global technology summit "I'm here to be the
skunk at your garden party," Andrew S. Grove, Intel co-founder and current
chairman, said that U.S. dominance in the software and technology service
businesses is under siege by countries like China and India that offer
cheap labor costs and strong incentives for new financial investment. Grove
noted that India's thriving software industry, which does a steadily
increasing proportion of the software and services work for U.S. companies,
could surpass the United States in software and tech-service jobs by 2010.
Grove said that the U.S. had no public policy to deal with this situation,
nor had he found that any of the presidential candidates had recognized the
problem. He also said the U.S. lags dangerously behind in popular use of
high-speed Internet connections, as well as funding for science and
technology research and education. (Washington Post 9 Oct 2003)

TEXT-MESSAGING MARKET OPPORTUNITIES IN CHINA
Text-messaging services in China have become wildly popular, to the extent
that 200 billion text messages will be sent this year through cell phones
across China. Internet analyst Nathan Midler for the research firm IDC says
the explanation is rather simple: "It's cheaper than actually making a
phone call." Midler also suggests a simple answer to the question of why
the U.S. technology companies have missed a great marketing opportunity in
China: "Why have companies like AOL and Yahoo not succeeded in China? The
simple answer is that the barrier to entry is pretty significant." (Knight

MICROSOFT MODIFIES IE AFTER COURT RULING
Microsoft has opted to make changes to the way its Web browser
functions after a court ruled that the software company had violated a
patent held by Eolas Technologies. The patent covers how Web pages
automatically call applications such as Flash or QuickTime to run audio
or video. A court ruled the Microsoft's Internet Explorer uses the
patented technology to accomplish this and that the company must pay
Eolas $521 million for the technology. Eolas suggested that Microsoft
keep the technology in its browser and arrange licensing terms.
Instead, Microsoft, which said it will appeal the ruling, will make
changes to Internet Explorer to sidestep the patented technology. As a
result, some users will be presented with a pop-up screen alerting them
that the browser will start the necessary application to run the Web
page. Microsoft said it will offer tips to Web developers on how to
change their Web pages to avoid the pop-ups even with the modified
version of Internet Explorer, which is expected early next year.

MICROSOFT ANNOUNCES REVISED PATCHING STRATEGY
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer this week announced major changes to the
company's strategy for software patches. Acknowledging that the
current schedule of weekly patches is onerous for many users and that
the patching systems are cumbersome, Ballmer said that Microsoft would
begin issuing patches no more frequently than once a month, except for
emergency situations. Ballmer noted that the company's current total
of 68 different patching systems was "a little extreme" and that future
patches would be of better quality than some previous patches. Users
will also have the ability to roll back future patches in the event of
incompatibility or other problems. Ballmer added that future patches
would be 30 to 80 percent smaller to help avoid problems for users on
slow connections.

[Could GM Sue For Saying You Can Exceed Speed Limits By Pushing Pedal Harder?]
COMPANY THREATENS TO SUE STUDENT
SunnComm Technologies said it will likely sue John "Alex" Halderman, a
graduate student at Princeton University, after Halderman published a
paper explaining how to defeat CD copy protections developed by
SunnComm. Halderman's paper pointed out SunnComm's copy protections
can be avoided simply by holding the "Shift" key when loading the
protected CD in a computer, which prevents the protection software from
installing. The paper also gave instructions for turning off the
software if it is installed. Peter Jacobs, CEO of SunnComm, said
Halderman had damaged the company's name and might be subject to
prosecution under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), which
forbids circumventing copy-protection technologies. Some observers
believe that Halderman's actions fall outside the purview of the DMCA
because the paper was an academic publication, it uses features of all
Windows computers, and it was not distributed for profit.

SUNNCOMM BACKS AWAY FROM LAWSUIT THREAT
One day after security firm SunnComm Technologies threatened to sue a
Princeton University graduate student for revealing how to defeat the
company's CD copy-protection technology, CEO Peter Jacobs withdrew the
threat. When Princeton student John Halderman published a paper earlier
in the week with details about sidestepping SunnComm's technology,
Jacobs accused Halderman of defaming the company and threatened him
with civil and criminal prosecution. Jacobs on Friday conceded that
filing lawsuits would have been a mistake, saying, "It wasn't our
intention to strike a blow against research."

WEB SITE ABOUT DIPLOMA MILLS CAUSES CONTROVERSY
A physics professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
has taken down a Web site with research on diploma mills after meeting
with university administrators. According to George Gollin, officials
from the university ordered him to remove the Web site from university
servers after some of the institutions profiled threatened to sue the
university. A spokesperson from the university denied that Gollin was
ordered to shut down the site, saying, "We were trying to help him find
a more appropriate place for his Web site." She noted that because
Gollin is a professor of physics, the issue of diploma mills and
accreditation falls outside his area of expertise and does not meet the
university's public-service requirement. Gollin's work will now be
available on the State of Oregon's Office of Degree Authorization
site. Alan Contreras, administrator of that site, called the research
"superb" and said it is "a very helpful consumer-protection tool."

Nobel Prize Committee Ignores Patent Holder In MRI Nobel Prize Awards
Dr. Raymond V. Damadian, president of the Fonar Corporation in Melville,

Magna Carta
Magna Carta is often thought of as the corner-stone of liberty and the
chief defence against arbitrary and unjust rule in England. In fact it
contains few sweeping statements of principle, but is a series of
concessions wrung from the unwilling King John by his rebellious
barons in 1215. However, Magna Carta established for the first time a
very significant constitutional principle, namely that the power of
the king could be limited by a written grant.
King John's unsuccessful attempts to defend his dominions in Normandy
and much of western France led to oppressive demands on his
subjects. Taxes were extortionate; reprisals against defaulters were
ruthless, and John's administration of justice was considered
capricious. In January 1215 a group of barons demanded a charter of
liberties as a safeguard against the King's arbitrary behaviour. The
barons took up arms against John and captured London in May 1215.
By 10 June both parties met and held negotiations at Runnymede, a
meadow by the River Thames. The concessions made by King John were
outlined in a document known as the 'Articles of the Barons', to which
the King's great seal was attached, and on 19 June the barons renewed
their oaths of allegiance to the King. Meanwhile the royal chancery
produced a formal royal grant, based on the agreements reached at
Runnymede, which became known as Magna Carta (Latin for the 'Great
Charter').
Four copies of this original grant survive. Two are held at the
British Library while the others can be seen in the cathedral archives
at Lincoln and Salisbury.
All four copies declare themselves to have been 'given by our hand in
the meadow which is called Runnymede between Windsor and Staines on
the 15th day of June in the 17th year of our reign' (1215).
Each differs slightly in size, shape and text. The few short words and
passages written at the foot of the present document have been
incorporated into the main texts of the Lincoln and Salisbury charters
and may therefore represent last-minute revisions.
According to contemporary chronicles, copies were distributed to
bishops, sheriffs and others throughout the land, but the exact number
of copies sent out from the royal chancery in 1215 is not known.
Magna Carta is on permanent display in the British Library exhibition
galleries.

Library of Congress Online: American Notes: Travels in America 1750-1920
The Library of Congress announces the release on the American Memory
website of American Notes: Travels in America, 1750-1920
(http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/lhtnhtml).
The website is comprised of 253 published narratives by Americans and
foreign visitors recounting their travels in the colonies and the
United States andtheir observations and opinions about American
peoples, places, and society from about 1750 to 1920. Also included is
the thirty-two-volume set of manuscript sources entitled Early Western
Travels, 1748-1846, published between 1904 and 1907 after diligent
compilation by the distinguished historian and secretary of the
Wisconsin Historical Society Reuben Gold Thwaites. All items are from
the general collections of the Library of Congress. Although many of
the authors represented in American Notes are not widely known, the
collection includes works by major figures such as Matthew Arnold,
Fredrika Bremer, William Cullen Bryant, Francois Rene de
Chateaubriand, William Cobbett, James Fenimore Cooper, J. Hector
St. John de Crevecoeur, Charles Dickens, Washington Irving, Benjamin
Henry Latrobe, Sir Charles Lyell, William Lyon Mackenzie, Andre
Michaux, Thomas Nuttall, Frederick Law Olmsted, and Robert Louis
Stevenson. The narratives in American Notes therefore range from the
unjustly neglected to the justly famous, and from classics of the
genre to undiscovered gems. Together, they build a mosaic portrait of
a young nation.
American Memory is a gateway to rich primary source materials relating
to the history and culture of the United States. The site offers more
than 8 million digital items from more than 120 historical
collections.
Please submit any questions you may have via the American Memory
webform at: http://www.loc.gov/rr/askalib/ask?memory2.html

Lessons in ebooks
Occasionally, I get mails asking how to go about downloading texts
from Project Gutenberg. Thanks to a new set of lessons from Candida
Martinelli, all mystery is now lifted.
Candida has put together six lessons to explain just about everything
you might need to know to get started with finding a text,
downloading, use and management, they are well worth a look. You can

Distributed Proofreaders Update
[riiiiip ... crumple ... toss!] So, there's goes my draft version for
this week's column, right at the last minute too. Just in, and
apparently official, the day we have all been waiting for and counting
down to has made a last minute sprint and arrived suddenly before our
eyes.
Project Gutenberg now provides for the world 10,000 artifacts of
literature, history, and countless varieties of the human
expression. As much as we have all looked forward to this day, it is
still surprising to be here, and more than a bit exciting.
But before I go any further into the Distributed Proofreaders view on
this historic day, there is something that needs saying. This is a
significant day for everyone who has given something of their own to
Project Gutenberg, and there are thousands of us. Yet as much as this
event may mean to each, it is hard to imagine that any of our
experiences right now are comparable to those of the person who sat
down some thirty years ago and typed the words: "When in the Course of
human Events . . ."
So...on behalf of all of us at DP ... Congratulations Michael! The
world is now vastly different from the way you found it when you
arrived.
Over at DP, the excitement has been building all month towards this
day. There is much to celebrate, for today was to be a festive event
in it's own right, before the news of re-publication of the Magna
Carta coincided with ongoing events. Joining the party at DP are three
authors celebrating this day in a personal way. October 15th is the
birthday of the Roman poet Virgil, Friedrich Nietzsche and Helen Hunt
Jackson.
Thanks to Tim Bonham and the festivity planners at DP, Authors'
receive a new found respect and attention on their birthdays. Before
this day is through, there should be 12 new books proofed by this
trio. If one of these authors is a favorite of yours, it's not too
late to join the party and help preserve their legacies. The doors are
open all night, but hurry...it looks like a full house already. Even
the Forum attendance records have been broken today. Wherever you look
today, this evening and into the wee hours, you will find us and be
warmly welcomed.
And speaking of breaking records...the last two proofing days were a
first for 2003. No month yet in this year has seen two days with over
6,000 pages proofed. We just set away two of them, back to back. And I
have it on good authority, that we are about to do it again. See,
here's the plan, and it's so simple, it's brilliant! Once we get
enough people into the site... I'm going to lock the doors, and
nobody leaves without proofing ten pages. Okay, maybe I need to work
on that! But however we do it, in honor of PG's 10.000 books, DP is
going to set down the best proofing day of 2003. If you think I'm over
the edge here, stop by later and have a look for yourself. At least
you'll be able to say: "I was there for the biggest day of the year!"
The fifteenth is also the midpoint of the month, a natural time to
take a breath and see what we have accomplished for October. Back on
the first we set out an objective and claimed October as 'Post
Processing Month.' The goal was to see 300 books out of Post
Processing and into the Verification stage. Many folks laughed at
first. "You can't treat the Post process like proofing.", they
said. Plus, "There's too many variables." and "This is not something
that can be forced." To be fair, there was definitely some uncertainty
and debate before publicly announcing the goal. Still, it was agreed a
worthy endeavor and set in motion.
So, where are we now, half way down the line? As of last night,
counting 14 days out of 31, a total of 162 projects had completed the
Post stage this month, with 20 books set as finished on Monday
alone. Frankly... many of us are surprised by just how successful the
initiative has become and how contagious the support and excitement
for the effort grows with each day. I won't conjecture a guess at the
final count on the 31st, but that shouldn't stop you from enjoying the
play!
Perhaps one of the most impressive measures of the past two weeks is
offered by DP's Site Administrator, Bill Keir: "...we have almost 40
new (or newly returned to active duty) PPers so far this month - our
goal there was 50.." It is beyond doubt now, that something is
happening at DP, which has a very contagious quality. Over the past
two months there is an increase in both attendance and participation
at the site. An interesting puzzler within this phenomenon is that
while a greater share of attention than normal is upon the Post
process, the proofing numbers have not diminished at all. In fact, the
proofing counts are well on their way to producing the most successful
month of the year, if not in all of DP's history. Yes, that means we
may even see a higher monthly total than was produced by the original
SlashDot rush of November 2002. Stay tuned right here to see how this
turns out.
So we have Birthdays, impressive posted figures and amazing page
counts to celebrate... what else could possibly fit inside a single
month? Well...the new source code is still worth applause, not only
for performing impressively under all this added activity, but also
because we are still discovering new features that were folded within
it. One of these which holds our great promise for the future of DP
and thus PG is the Internationalization of the site's features. That
this is being phased in gradually does not diminish it's sparkle. As
the workings of the Localization components are tested, we will be
getting glimpses of the road out ahead of us, where DP expands to
support a wide range of languages.
The full implementation of a DP in multiple language will take some
time, but a solid effort has begun. Even for those of us native to
English, this is exciting to see come into focus. Help files and FAQs
are already being produced in a variety of languages and there is work
going on to provide multi-lingual utility and comfort to the
forums. As always, we'll be sure to follow these innovations right
here.
There are two other 'quiet' happenings going on this month that people
have been asking about for a while. I will only touch upon these
briefly this week as an introduction to more in-depth study in the
future. One is the Uber Projects designation and the other is the DP
History and Lore Archive. These two endeavors are still in the early
stages of development, but their future is bright. The Uber Projects
are large scale works which require special needs or great resources
of time and energy. As written of in previous issues, the success of
DP made the creation of a special projects division inevitable. The
power of distribution has made it possible to realistically consider
book projects which were previously out of the realm of feasibility
for digital conversion. The recent creation of an independent forum
for the Uber Projects has brought them into the light of attention. So
by request we are going to be exploring some of these large-scale
works a little bit more with each column.
The History and Lore archive is also an item within this week's
news. I can speak freely of this because I have worked closely upon it
for several months now. It is very much what the title suggest: a home
for the story and collective knowledge of DP so far. As this project
is about the past, more or less, and not of an immediate urgency, it's
growth to date has been slow to glacial-like. This week that has
changed thanks to a generous offer by DP's own T. Mangrove, known and
adored by his friends as Montanus. The H&L Archive now has a place to
grow and prosper out of the way of the day to day affairs of book
building. Over in a quiet, little corner of the Net' those of us who
like to explore history can take our time preserving the knowledge and
record of what we do at DP, while DP goes on its way preserving the
knowledge and records of others.
So that's October from the middle of the voyage, folks! I think you
all know that I would enjoy going on about the meaning of this day for
the PG community and the journey of the road travelled to keep things
going until this day. . .but that's Michael's job...and I wouldn't
take a word of it away from him.
Rejoice in this moment, everyone! Don't let the thin air of this
cynical age steal it's gift from you. There is a great and wonderful
power at work here. The long-term effects of what we do at DP/PG each
day cannot always be measured from where we stand. I assure you that a
day will come, and it will come unexpectedly, when some rare chance
coincidence occurs in your life that brings you back through the years
to this very hour. Don't lose who you are today, and who you have
become through participating in this dream. Rejoice!...and do it with
great gladness, no matter how 'uncool' that may look to your SO. One
day ... and this I promise ... you will look back this way and say:
"I was there, that day, with Michael ... and you know something ... I
helped make it happen."
May you always find an abundant return for the part of yourself you
give to the world!
For now...

3) Notes and Queries, Reviews and Features
The Egyptian literature continued - the content and the form.
The content.
During the writing it occurred to me, that actually the Egyptians were
the inventors of the Happy End. The eloquent peasant is winning the
case over the malicious town-dweller protected by his patron ('Tale of
eloquent peasant' can be found in Petrie 'Egyptian Tales'), the fled
nobleman is forgiven ('Story of Sinuhe') and his property is restored,
lost people are coming home and even the doomed prince is managing to
survive somehow, thanks to his beloved wife. Does it mean
simple-minding or normal confidence of the healthy and wealthy that
the gods are on your side? this is for you to decide.
What is more interesting is the overall familiarity not only of
literature genres and rules in general, but even of the very plot
lines, that were born in the minds disappeared so long ago and written
in the strange signs that nobody could read for more than 1000
years. The poor but diligent step-daughter tormented by an evil
step-mother started her miserable and glorious life almost 5000 years
ago, in 26 century B.C. during the 4th dynasty. Her 2000 years younger
relative, more famous amongst contemporary readers, was the pale Greek
slave Rhadopis of Strabo tortured by tanned Egyptian female-slaves,
whos slipper was brought to the bored Pharaoh by the falcon-god Horus
himself. The shipwrecked sailor has found the treasure island long ago
before similar attempts of western and eastern sea-travellers. The
island disappeared in the sea-waves immediately after the sailor left,
but the scholars are seeing the traces of it in the works of Stevenson
and even in the adventures of Count Monte-Cristo, whose ship they
claim, was not incidentally called Pharaoh.
Another extremely familiar story is of two brothers Truth and
Falsehood, which tells us about the betrayal of jealous Falsehood, and
the poor Truth, blinded already by his younger brother, should be
thrown to lion by the servants. He begs for his life from the servants
and they are killing another instead of him. After many days following
this, Falsehood raised his eyes to have a look, and he observed the
exemplariness of Truth, his elder brother. Falsehood said to Truth's
two servants: Please ab[duct] your lord and [cast] him [to] a
dangerous lion that has many lionesses [as mate]s, and they shall
[devour him. Then they] abducted him. Now as they were going up
carrying him, Truth [told his servant]s: Don't abduct [me and] put
[an]other [in my place... . The son of blinded but still beautiful
Truth and the rich lady is defeating the wicked uncle and the beloved
Happy End comes inevitable as in Hollywood movies. Quite different
from the dismal Greek or Scandinavian epic stories when the final
scene is mostly often the violent death of the heroes, deceived and
betrayed - the standard European happy ending :).
The form.
I do not remember who told it first but Ive heard it from many real
poets, that to make a verse is much easier than the good prose
line. This sounds for first glance strange - we are as Moliers
personage said 'talking in prose', but the fact is that most of the
ancient literature was written in verses. Which may be compared with
the painting - the history of art was starting from the surrealism,
abstractionism and others of that ilk. May be it is easier to create
more rigid formal structure, than to imitate the over-detailed 'real'
world. Or vice-versa - the worlds perception is simpler so more
formal expression is more appropriate. In any case, Egyptian
literature is not an exception from this rule, though the tales are
very often translated in prosaic form. It is hard for us to judge the
quality of the poetry written in the dead language, however the
richness of translated metaphors is quite amazing. Below are few lines
from self-description of Mentuhotep, an official under reign of
Sessotris I. This inscription was accepted by Egyptians as an example
of good style in the Middle and New Kingdoms and was copied several
times on the stelas of different officials: I am sending two brothers
satisfied with the utterances of his mouth upon whose tongue is the
writing of Thoth, more accurate than the weight, likeness of the
balances giving attention to hear words, like a god in his hour,
excellent in heart, skilled in his fingers finding the speech of the
palace, knowing that which is in every body (heart), putting map into
his real place, finding matters in which there is irregularity, giving
the lie to him that speaks it and the truth to him that brings it, an
official loosening the knot, whom the king (lit. god) exalt above
millions master of secret things of the house of sacred
writing. Another example is quite opposite but not less poetic
inscription of Man Who Was Tired of Life: I opened my mouth to my soul
that I might answer what it had said:Behold, my name is detested,
Behold, more than the smell of vultures On a summer's day when the sky
is hot. Behold, my name is detested, Behold, more than the smell of
ducks, More than a covert of reeds full of waterfowl. Death is in my
sight today Like the smell of myrrh,Like sitting under an awning on a
windy day.Death is in my sight today Like the perfume of lotuses,Like
sitting on the shore of the Land of Drunkenness. Death is in my sight
todayLike the clearing of the sky,Like a man who... ... for something
which he does not know. Besides poetic tales, inscriptions and the
hymns to gods, the Egyptians knew and liked the songs and the short
loves poems. Those love songs were often more expressive than
metaphoric, where the tumult of love is compared with the trap for the
gooses, and the lover says that the kisses of the beloved are
invigorating the heart and her/his embraces are the best medicine With
sickness faint and weary All day in bed I'll lie; My friends will
gather near meAnd she'll with them come nigh. She'll put to shame the
doctorsWho'll ponder over me, For she alone, my loved one, Knows well
my malady. Or For those who have interest and understanding in the
technical details of poetry, here is the excerpt from
http://www.utexas.edu/utpress/excerpts/exfosanc.html For their poems
ancient Egyptian poets used a couplet form: the lines of the poems
were grouped in twos, and each pair of lines completed a verse
sentence. There were variations upon this basic form (triplets and
quatrains), but the generalization is fundamental to understanding the
structure of the poems. The verse line was clausal and syntactic: each
line consisted of either a dependent or an independent clause; and the
pair made up the full sentence. Unfortunately not many texts are in PG
yet. For those who is interested there is very good collection of the
texts on the official Egyptian government site:
http://touregypt.net/literature.htm There are also few more books of
Wallis Budge of 1901. Even if you can not find the copyright for those
things to add it to PG, at least you can enjoy reading the words
invented by the minds that disappeared long ago that were written in
the strange signs that nobody could read for more than millennium.

What's Cooking? Part 1
A recent article by Gali Sirkis highlighting the Home Economics
Archive as a possible source of material to add to PG reminded me that
several cookbooks had passed through DP recently. I decided to trawl
the depths of GUTINDEX.ALL to see just what we have in the way of
cookery manuals.
As it turns out, quite a little range of cookbooks is available via
PG. Perhaps the oldest is The Forme of Cury, by Samuel Pegge; A Roll
of Ancient English Cookery Compiled about A.D. 1390; the newest might
be The BYU Solar Cooker/Cooler, by Steven E. Jones (complete with
illustrations of said cooker/cooler), or The Perdue Chicken Cookbook,
by Mitzi Perdue. In between we can find general tomes such as Domestic
Cookery, Useful Receipts, and Hints to Young Housekeepers, by
Elizabeth E. Lea; School and Home Cooking, by Carlotta C. Greer; Miss
Parloa's New Cook Book, by Maria Parloa (new as of 1881); Things
Mother Used To Make, by Lydia Maria Gurney; and Seventy-Five Receipts
for Pastry, Cakes, and Sweetmeats, by Miss Leslie.
Several national cuisines are represented: there is a Belgian
Cookbook, and Simple Italian Cookery. We have at least one
Spanish-language cookbook (La Mejor Cocinera: Recetas de Cocina), and
one in French especially for vegetarians or those of delicate stomach
(Traite' General de la Cuisine Maigre: Potages, Entrees et Releves,
Entremets de Legumes, Sauces, Entremets sucres; Traite' des Hors
d'oeuvre et Savoureux). The latter guarantees satisfaction: "Les
estomacs auxquels, pour une raison ou pour une autre, les mets gras
sont interdits, devront une reconnaissance sans prix a l'Auteur de ce
bel et utile ouvrage. Et quant aux autres, ils pourront user des
privileges vegetariens avec profit. Ainsi, pour ceux-ci ou ceux-la,
l'avantage est constant et ne fera que des heureux."
For any one who is tired of scrambled, poached, fried, boiled, and
over-easy, we can offer Many Ways for Cooking Eggs. Those whose
cooking does not always succeed might turn to Recipes Tried and True
by Presbyterian Ladies' Aid for a foolproof idea. For a dish that's
sure to please, there is always Favorite Dishes, by Carrie
V. Shuman. (Or maybe not: see Part 2 next week to find out what I
mean....)
We do not neglect beverages. The London and Country Brewer
(publication date 1736) will instruct anyone who wishes to become
versed in "making good Malts;" "know[ing] good from bad Malts;" "the
_London_ Method of Brewing Stout, But-Beer, Pale and Brown Ales" as
opposed to "the Country or Private Way of Brewing," and much more. For
a different taste, we may turn to the fascinating The Book of Tea, by
Kakuzo Okakura, and we can even tell our fortunes afterwards with the
help of Telling Fortunes By Tea Leaves.
Finally, for those who wish to know what happens after food or drink
leaves plate or bowl and begins a lengthy journey to its final
destination, I can recommend The History of a Mouthful of Bread, by
Jean Mace--but I advise that you do not read it while you are eating.
Having whetted your appetite, I will invite you to read more about our
cookery collection next week in What's Cooking? Part 2, where we will
investigate a few of the more interesting recipes (Brain Cakes,
anyone?)

2) News and Comment
Urgent! - North Dakota
Do you live there? Does anyone you know live there? Do you stable a
horse there? Does your carrier pidgeon service pass through?
The reason I ask is this - Anne Wingate, who is in charge of sorting
out PG's charity registration in the 50 states of the USA (Yes they
all have to be done separately), is looking for someone, anyone who
lives in North Dakota. You don't have to do anything except be named
on the form as a contact for PG. If someone does contact you, you can
pass them straight on to either Anne or Greg Newby, but there has to
be someone local named on the form, so please, if your granny's best
friend's nephew's girlfriend's parakeet lives in North Dakota could
you get them to mail me here at news@pglaf.org, so I can pass your
name on to Anne.
Thank you

An overview of Egyptian literature in PG and at all:
During this week a book of Egyptian texts (Legends Of The Gods, by
E. A. Wallis Budge) was added to the PG collection, joining a few
other examples of the world's oldest literature attempts:
Egyptian Tales, V1 and V2, by W. M. Flinders
An Account of Egypt, by Herodotus, tr. by Macaulay
Legends of Babylon and Egypt, by Leonard W. King
Book of Dead
Those are, of course, only a very few drops since Egyptian literature
is extremely diverse. First there is plenty of didactic literature
where fathers are teaching the sons how to behave in this world in
order to gain success, love of the higher official and the adoration
of the people (interesting fact that it was forbidden to express love
towards higher ranked persons the love was permitted only from up
down.). The most famous work from this kind probably is the
Instruction of Amenemhet I written by scribe Achtoy, where the famous
founder of 12-th dynasty was warning his son Sesworset I of treachery
and untrustworthy people. He was indeed killed at the end of his reign
presumably by harem conspiracy. Some of the scholars think that even
not without the help of his heir ... The most interesting document of
this era is the tale of Sinuhe the outstanding autobiography of the
courtier of the queen who fled from Egypt to Palestine after hearing
the news of the Amenemhet I death. There are various translations of
this story, and on PG you can find the version of Sr. Petrie in his
famous Egyptian Tales.
The other type of the literature that is represented in the books on
PG is the legends and fairy tales. Famous kings and envy gods were
inhabiting the world centered around the fertile Nile valley, and so
are their stories plenty and somewhat familiar. The other fairy tales
tell us about the magic and magicians that as we know were also
abundant in those days. The magicians were involved in everyday life
and affairs of pharaohs and higher officials as well as in the life of
regular people. Look the tales translated of Petrie where the wax
crocodiles are eating the adulterer and where the waters of the lake
were withdrawn in order to find the jewel of the harem girl from the
pleasure boat.
There is only a little drop in the sea so we will continue in the next
newsletter to show you the beauty of the ancient poetry which passion
can be compared with that of the Shakespeare and many other strange
and inspired stories of the oldest known literature. In the mean time
you can also entertain yourself with

Lessons in ebooks
Occasionally, I get mails asking how to go about downloading texts
from Project Gutenberg. Thanks to a new set of lessons from Candida
Martinelli, all mystery is now lifted.
Candida has put together six lessons to explain just about everything
you might need to know to get started with finding a text,
downloading, use and management, they are well worth a look. You can

Distributed Proofreaders Update
With one week behind us, October has so far lived up to it's initial
expectations of dynamic and productive activity. September made
several significant notations in the historic logs of DP, this month
appears to be opening up a whole new ledger. If you have been away
from the site for the past week, you are missing out. Don't despair,
there a few weeks to go yet, and things are just getting warmed up. In
the time between I will try to bring you up to date.
Two new initiatives began at DP this month, which were mentioned in
the previous column. The first of these was a dedication of October as
'Post Processing Month.' Yes, the groaning was loud and diverse at the
initial announcement. That was to be expected. The new and untried is
always met with resistance at the start. To be fair, the questions
were not without foundation. First of all, how do you set a fixed goal
for a process where every element is unique. A short novel requires a
completely different approach in Post than a collection of poetry with
supplementary notations. Different approaches are also required for a
textbook or an issue of periodical. On the whole, the details were not
as important as how we approached the objective itself. What mattered
was setting out a path and committing to it's destination. The
collective mind of DP has always been good at figuring out challenges
as they arise. The current Post processing efforts are reminding us of
this truth once again.
The aim at the beginning of October, was to complete the first stage
of the Post process for 300 texts. That is far beyond figures achieved
in any month to date. At the end of seven days, 70 texts have
completed the Post stage and moved on to DP's final stage of
Verification. As this is a 31 day month, that places us slightly ahead
of schedule. To see how this follows on as we move through the month,
watch this space! Be sure we will keep you current on the progress and
discoveries of this endeavor. Just one note, in case anyone is
wondering if such a fixed push effects the quality of a final text. It
is the standing policy at DP, whether there is an objective to meet or
not, that a Post processor has to meet the clear standards required of
a finished text. One of the most obvious initial benefits in this new
effort is the broad range of support among those working in all areas
of Post. This collaboration is enhancing the quality as well as speed
of the completed texts.
The second new initiative is the Author's Birthday celebrations. DP
now salutes an author on the day they were born by giving a high
priority to any works which are within the production process. While
the first several days of the month were lean on notable birthdays, a
buzz of activity surrounded several writers whose date of birth falls
in the later weeks of the month. Our first celebration was yesterday
for the occasion of James Whitcomb Riley's birthday. It proved a fine
commemoration as two projects were prepared on time, specifically for
the day, and were proofed through both rounds by the start of today.
The celebrations continue tomorrow with a work by Ralph Waldo Trine
and on Friday it's a double celebration for Antoine de Bertin and
William Minto. All three authors will be appearing in Project
Gutenberg for the first time when these texts are completed. The
newsletter will continue to spotlight birthday celebrations within
each week. If you would like to participate in a party or two watch
for continually updated posts in the DP forums, check in General and
Content Providers. If you are think that you might have a book by an
October author, and would be interested in preparing it or lending it
to someone to prepare, you will find an ever evolving manifest of
authors and dates.
One final note regarding the authors' birthdays; this focused effort
is not limited solely to proofing. If you have a project by a birthday
author at any stage of development, post a note about this in one of
the forum threads. The intention of this initiative is to bring
together a united, focused effort which will help bring an author's
work closer to being available on the PG shelves. Whatever your
project needs, let others know! If you have an creative idea, post it
to the forum! This feature is here to stay and will be open for
innovation as it grows and defines itself.
What else is exciting and hot so far this month? Well ... page counts,
of course! They just won't slow down. While the focus has been on
Post Production, proofing efforts have not been diminished. In fact,
they are record breaking. For the first time, since the weather bureau
has been keeping records, every day of the month so far has met and
surpassed the daily pages proofed objective. Yesterday closed out the
first week impressively as the 4th most productive proofing day of
2003. It would seem that the momentum of September is increasing,
rather than diminishing. Let's give it another week, and then we can
talk about how to bottle whatever they're drinking over in the Rounds.
Not bad for a first week, aye! Guess what? I have saved the best for
last. Yes, there's more. Or haven't you heard?... There's a new and
improved Distributed Proofreaders in town. It's understandable if you
didn't notice, but the credit for that belongs solely to the Coding
Crew at DP. Most site upgrades are performed in the quiet little
corners of an early Sunday morning. But for these guys ... nothing but
the middle of a Friday evening for the roll out of the latest version
of DP. Yet were it not for a few wrinkles here and there and an extra
log-in or two, you would not have known you had been transported to a
new era in proofreading.
There's still some tweaking to work out in little places. The
important thing is, what needs to work, the essentials that keep DP
running smooth, never missed a beat. The source code is one of the
more transparent processes at the site. Those of us who work on the
projects each day tend to think about the code only when it does
something we don't find amusing. It's like driving a car; unless we
have an interest in mechanics, we don't really care what goes on
'under the hood' as long as we get to where we want to go. We may not
see it working well, we may not really understand how and why it does,
but we're always happy for a smooth ride.
The impressive achievements of this week would not have been possible
without a equally impressive job performed by everyone on the coding
side over these past few months. It's the collaboration of all the
craft-crews at DP that produces the bountiful output we see pouring
forth steadily towards PG. We are Distributed, but we are united. The
results of our collaboration prove the value of that union for lasting
good in this world.
I can't vouch for everyone else, but expressing candidly, I find
myself drawn back to DP time and again, as much for the company found
there as for the work we are doing.
Until next week, when the current events may allow us some room to
return to our regular path of exploration. . .
All the best to each of you!

3) Notes and Queries, Reviews and Features
The Atlantic Monthly
By Tonya Allen, with thanks to Joshua Hutchinson
A number of periodicals have been making their way through Distributed
Proofers (DP). One of these is The Atlantic Monthly. Starting with
Volume 1, Number 1 (November, 1857), this periodical will continue
through 88 volumes, for a total of 530 issues. At this writing 12
issues have been posted to PG, with 62 additional issues currently
in the DP queue. The mastermind behind this giant project, DP's
Joshua Hutchinson, selected The Atlantic Monthly in part because
of its reputation as a very respected and highly literate periodical.
And indeed, two aspects of this periodical which I find particularly
interesting are its assumptions about the education level of its
readership, and its Reviews and Literary Notices.
While the Atlantic Monthly today continues to offer thoughtful articles
on a variety of topics, nearly a hundred and fifty years ago the editors
seemed to take for granted a higher level of erudition entirely. Readers
were evidently expected to be familiar with French, German, Italian and
Latin, as excerpts and quotations in these languages appear frequently
in the early Atlantic Monthly. Issue 1 includes a fragment from Dante's
Paradiso in the original Italian; a variety of Latin phrases tossed off
casually here and there; and an invitation to consult a book in German
for further information, all in one article on Florentine mosaics. A
familiarity with a wide range of literary classics and historical events
was evidently assumed, as even the works of fiction often contain references
to figures from literature and history. Every issue challenges the computer
spellchecker with hundreds of foreign words and proper names.
The Reviews and Literary Notices section which rounds out each issue
also provides food for thought for the modern reader. Again, the editors
assumed a high level of foreign-language competence among their
readership, as often books in the original non-English language are
reviewed at length. For example, the May 1860 Literary Notices section
leads off with a detailed discussion of _Le Prime Quattro Edizioni
della Divina Commedia Letteralmente Ristampate per Cura di_ G.G. WARREN
LORD VERNON. But perhaps most fascinating are the reviews of books which
have long been hoary residents of "classic" reading lists for young
scholars, but which here are reviewed as new and worthy contributions
of living authors. For example, the April 1860 issue includes a review
of Nathaniel Hawthorne's new novel, The Marble Faun. The July 1862 issue
reviews Victor Hugo's Les Misérables, both the English and French editions.
The June 1860 issue reviews George Eliot's The Mill on the Floss. It is
quite interesting to see how these books, some of which filled us with
despair by their mere titles when they confronted us in school, were
received by contemporary audiences.
In addition to the literature, poetry, and essays on a variety of topics, an
occasional article on current events appears. Thus, the issue of July, 1862
includes an essay entitled "Chiefly about War-Matters: By A Peaceable Man."
The war under discussion is, of course, the American Civil War; the piece
is the author's first-hand account as he sets out to see the war for himself
and tries to understand the impact it is having, and will have, on the
country.
The Atlantic Monthly is a fine addition to PG's archives. I look forward to
the many more issues to come, and invite everyone to sample some of the
issues which have already been posted.

Answers to the Science Fiction Classics Quiz:
1. Looking Backward / Edward Bellamy
http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext96/lkbak10.txt
g. I first saw the light in the city of Boston in the year 1857.
2. The Poison Belt / Arthur Conan Coyle
http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext94/poisn10.txt
a. It is imperative that now at once, while these stupendous events
are still clear in my mind, I should set them down with that
exactness of detail which time may blur.
3. The War of the Worlds / H.G. Wells
http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext92/warw11.txt
h. No one would have believed in the last years of the
nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly
and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as
mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their
various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps
almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scru-
tinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a
drop of water.
4. The Land That Time Forgot / Edgar Rice Burroughs
http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext96/tlttf11.txt
b. It must have been a little after three o'clock in the afternoon
that it happened--the afternoon of June 3rd, 1916.
5. From the Earth to the Moon / Jules Verne
http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext93/moon10.txt
i. During the War of the Rebellion, a new and influential club was
established in the city of Baltimore in the State of Maryland.
6.
A Princess of Mars / Edgar Rice Burroughs
http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext93/pmars10.txt
c. I am a very old man; how old I do not know. Possibly I am
a hundred, possibly more; but I cannot tell because I have
never aged as other men, nor do I remember any childhood.
7.
The Time Machine / H.G. Wells
http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext92/timem11.txt
e. The Time Traveller (for so it will be convenient to speak of
him) was expounding a recondite matter to us.
8.
Lost Continent / C. J. Cutcliffe Hyne
http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext95/lostc10.txt
j. We were both of us not a little stiff as the result of
sleeping out in the open all that night, for even in Grand Canary
the dew-fall and the comparative chill of darkness are not to be
trifled with.
9.
The Lost World / Arthur Conan Doyle
http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext94/lostw10.txt
d. Mr. Hungerton, her father, really was the most tactless person
upon earth,--a fluffy, feathery, untidy cockatoo of a man,
perfectly good-natured, but absolutely centered upon his own
silly self.
10.
20000 Leagues Under the Seas / Jules Verne
http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext01/2000010a.txt
f. The year 1866 was marked by a bizarre development, an unexplained
and downright inexplicable phenomenon that surely no one has forgotten.
Thanks to Tonya for the quiz*
Two Smartypants awards to Katie Lewington, who gets both awards for
not only getting full marks, but also submitting her answers within
record time. One day I'll have a budget to award real prizes, still
altogether now a huge round of applause for Katie, and well done!

DISTRIBUTED PROOFREADERS NEEDS CONTENT, PROOFERS AND SCANNER TYPES
Please contact us at:
dphelp@pgdp.net
if you would like to know more about the Distributed Proofreaders.
Thanks to very good recent publicity, the Distributed Proofreading
project has greatly accelerated its pace. Please visit the site:
http://www.pgdp.net
for more information about how you can help a lot, by
simply proofreading just a few pages per day, or more.
If you have a book that has been scanned, but not yet run
through OCR (optical character recognition) or proofed,
and you would like the Distributed Proofreaders to work on it,
please email dphelp@pgdp.net and we will get things started.
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.
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 email dphelp@pgdp.net with your geographic
location. You will be given the address of the nearest high-speed scanner
(note that the high-speed scanner requires destruction of the book(s) which
will not be returned). Alternatively, you can send your books directly to:
Charles Franks
9030 W. Sahara Ave. #195
Las Vegas, NV 89117
Please make sure that any books you send are _not_ already in the archive
and please check them against David's "In Progress" list at:
http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html
to ensure no one is currently working on them. It would also be helpful if
you obtain copyright clearance before mailing the books, and send the 'OK'
lines to
dphelp@pgdp.net
Do you like to work on an entire book at once but don't have the time
or technology to do the scanning, OCR, and initial proofing yourself?
Distributed Proofreaders has the perfect solution! Just send us email
telling us that you are interested in post-processing and we will help
find a you project you would like to work on.

*** Have We Given Away A Trillion Books/Dollars Yet???
Statistical Review
In the 40 weeks of this year, we have produced 3063 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 2000 to produce our FIRST 3063 eBooks!!!
That's 40 WEEKS as Compared to ~30 YEARS!!!
With 9,806 eBooks online as of October 08, 2003 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $1.02 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 1.5% of the world's population!
This "cost" is down from about $1.64 when we had 6108 eBooks A Year Ago
Can you imagine 9,806 books each costing $.62 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine 9,806 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 9806 eBooks in 32 Years and 4.00 Months We Averaged
303 Per Year [We do more per month these days!]
25 Per Month
.81 Per Day
At 3063 eBooks Done In The 280 Days Of 2003 We Averaged
10.9 Per Day
76.6 Per Week
340.3 Per Month
The production statistics are calculated based on full weeks'
production; each production-week starts/ends Wednesday noon,
starts with the first Wednesday of January. January 1st was
the first Wednesday of 2003, and thus ended PG's production
year of 2002 and began the production year of 2003 at noon.
This year there will be 53 Wednesdays, thus one extra week.

[PG Editor's Comments In Brackets]
From Newsscan:
COLEMAN TO PUSH FOR LOWER COPYRIGHT-INFRINGEMENT FINES
Sen. Norm Coleman (R-Minn.) said this week he intends to introduce
legislation that will lower the fines for those found guilty of sharing
copyrighted music files. Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act
(DMCA), violators face fines of between $750 and $150,000 per song.
Coleman, who earlier this week chaired a hearing on the issue of file
sharing and recording industry efforts to curb the practice, said the
range of fines is unreasonable. Facing the prospect of having to pay
$150,000 for each copyrighted song, he said, "forces people to settle
when they may want to fight." Coleman also took issue with the DMCA
subpoena provision, which allows copyright owners to obtain identities
of suspected infringers without approval of a judge. Coleman voiced an
opinion shared by many in the P2P community that there should be some
level of judicial review for the subpoenas. A spokesman for the
Recording Industry Association of America, which supports the DMCA as
it stands today, said,
"Given the scope of today's piracy epidemic,
we must not weaken the hand of copyright holders."

MICROSOFT $10.5 MILLION CONSUMER SETTLEMENT
Microsoft has agreed to pay $10.5 million to consumers who complained in a
class-action lawsuit that they were overcharged when they bought software
directly from the company. About 550,000 licenses are represented in the
class. Rob Helm, an industry analyst and Microsoft-watcher, says: "It's
certainly not going to put a dent in Microsoft's pockets. This is clearly a
victory, in the sense that Microsoft wants to settle these cases. From a
Microsoft perspective, the bad PR outweighs any benefit it would gain by
fighting this to the bitter end." (AP/2 Oct 2003)

VERISIGN AGREES TO SUSPEND SITE FINDER SERVICE
VeriSign and ICANN reached a temporary truce Friday, with VeriSign
acquiescing to ICANN's demand that it suspend its controversial Site Finder
service pending further technical review. ICANN could have fined VeriSign
as much as $100,000 or even revoked its contract to manage the master list
of .com and .net Internet domain names. Critics have charged VeriSign with
undermining the collectivist culture of the Internet with the preemptive
launch of its service, which redirects Web users who mistype a URL to the
VeriSign Web site. "In the past when you made a dramatic change to the
network structure that was the least bit potentially damaging, you went out
through the community and you exposed what you were going to do and got
reaction," says Carnegie Mellon computer science professor David Farber.
VeriSign "just broke the whole process." In its defense, VeriSign
executives say they notified ICANN of their plans ahead of time, but
admitted that they sidestepped ICANN's lengthy approval process because
it's too slow. In response, ICANN says it's "sympathetic to concerns" about
its process and has proposed a more streamlined procedure for reviewing new
services such as Site Finder. (Wall Street Journal 6 Oct 2003)

TRACKING LIBRARY BOOKS OR TRACKING PEOPLE?
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), which concerns itself with civil
liberties issues in cyberspace, is expressing dismay over a plan by the
the San Francisco Public Library use RFID technology to track books. A RFID
(radio frequency identification) chip would be inserted into each library
book, and would send out electromagnetic waves that would allow tracking of
the book's location. San Francisco's city librarian Susan Hildreth says the
RFID devices will help streamline inventory and prevent loss, and explains
that tracking people is not the goal; "It will not allow us to track people
to their home or any location." Hildreth's response has failed to satisfy
Electronic Frontier Foundation Lee Tien, who worries: "We're talking about
the imbedding of location trafficking devices into the social fabric."

MICROSOFT SUED FOR DAMAGES CAUSED BY SECURITY FLAWS
Film producer Marcy Levitas Hamilton, whose Social Security number was
stolen by network vandals, has filed a lawsuit aimed at holding Microsoft
responsible for damage stemming from security flaws in its software. The
suit is designed to form the basis of a class action, and alleges that the
majority of cyberattacks trace back to vulnerabilities in Microsoft
software. Internet security and privacy consultant Richard M. Smith sasy:
"This is the first time Microsoft has had its feet held to the fire on
security issues." Hamilton's lawsuit notes that after the vandals stole her
Social Security number, her bank accounts were accessed and frozen, and her
attorney says: "They completely cannibalized her life." Microsoft executive
Sean Sundwall responds: "This complaint misses the point. The problems
caused by viruses and other security attacks are the result of criminal
acts." (USA Today 7 Oct 2003)

[Grammar Aside: This Means The Do Not Call List WILL Be Implemented]
APPEALS COURT STAYS LOWER-COURT RULING BLOCKING DO-NOT-CALL LIST
The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has stayed a ruling of U.S. District
Judge Edward Nottingham which has prevented the Federal Trade Commission
from running a national Do-Not-Call registry on the grounds that it
unfairly blocks calls from businesses, but not from charities or political
organizations. The appeals court said in its ruling: "The Supreme Court has
held that there is undoubtedly a substantial governmental interest in the
prevention of abusive and coercive sales practices. The prevention of
intrusion upon privacy in the home is another paradigmatic substantial
governmental interest." The court also noted that Congress had found that
some telemarketing calls "have subjected consumers to substantial fraud,
deception and abuse." (AP/San Jose Mercury News 8 Oct 2003)

SOUPED UP PCs CAN MIMIC TIVO FUNCTIONALITY
SnapStream's Personal Video Station 3 software allows users to record their
favorite TV shows to their PCs, as well as perform many of the control
functions offered by personal video recorders, such as pause, rewind and
fast-forward real-time TV. The $60 software offers a cheaper alternative to
PVRs such as TiVo, which costs about $250 for the box plus a monthly
subscription fee in the $13 range. But there's a catch -- your PC needs to
have plenty of processor speed -- 733 megahertz or faster -- and an $80
tuner card. Similar software is available from InterVideo (WinDVR 3) and
Microsoft's latest version of Windows XP works with the company's $1,500
Media Center Edition PC. (CNN.com 8 Oct 2003)

GENES ON A CHIP
Affymetrix, Agilent, Applied Biosystems, and NimbleGen are some of the
companies that have begun selling postage-size gene-chips, or
"microarrays," of all known human genes (of which there are about 30,000),
thereby lowering the cost and increase the speed of a test that has
transformed biomedical research in recent years. The chief executive of
Affymetrix boasts: "It's sort of a milestone event, very similar to
generating an integrated circuit of the genome." Gene chips detect genes
that are actively being used to make a protein, and scientists try to
understand the genetic mechanisms of disease by seeing which genes are
turned on. Researchers have found that tumors that look the same under the
microscope can differ in terms of which genes are active, and that by
studying gene patterns it may be possible to discriminate between deadly
and harmless tumors -- or to predict the effectiveness of a particular drug
on a particular patient. (New York Times
