Today Project Gutenberg is over 1/4 of the way from 10,000 eBooks to 20,000 !
Contrary to all the pundits' prolific predictions over the years,
Project Gutenberg not only has not gone under, but has continued
it's growth on a curve in excess of Moore's Law, as in this graph:

We should also add that the quality of the Project Gutenberg eBooks has been
increasing over the same period; in terms of initial accuracy, format options
and continuous error correction. In addition, Project Gutenberg now provides
eBooks in 31 languages, with Project Gutenberg of Europe targeting over 50.
The 30th language at Project Gutenberg was Romanian.
Project Gutenberg of Australia has already released 350 eBooks.
Project Gutenbergs of Canada and Luxembourg are opening soon, with new
entries from all the European Union nations expected in the near future.
If the growth rate listed above continues for only one more decade,
Project Gutenberg will be offering over one million books in 2012,
and the next step will be to translate these million eBooks into
100 different languages.
By the time this is all complete, perhaps by Project Gutenberg's
50th Anniversary in 2021, we hope to provide 10 million eBooks
from all over the world, and present them in 100 languages,
for a total 1 billion eBooks, and we hope to distribute these
to 1 billion readers, 15% of the world population.
If we succeed, we will give away one quintillion eBooks.
At present, even if we have only reached just over 1% of the world,
we have already given away over a trillion eBooks.

.:: HOW TO GET EBOOKS FROM PROJECT GUTENBERG ::.
The easiest way to obtain our eBooks is at our search page at
http://gutenberg.net/find.shtml
which allows searching by title, author or eBook number; there is also
an Advanced Search page which allows for additional search criteria
(note that our newer postings may not yet be indexed for all additional
criteria). And please note: you can now obtain a listing by language
at the above link.
Mirrors (copies) of the complete collection are available around the world,
and you can select one nearer to your location from the link on the search
results page. To see a listing of mirror sites, and locate the one nearest
to you, visit:
http://gutenberg.net/list.shtml
EBooks numbered 1 to 10000 are located in "release year" directories.
Over time, the "release year" advanced, so that by November 2003 the
release year was 2006. Starting with eBook #10001, they are filed by
their official eBook number, with a unique subdirectory based on that
eBook number.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED GREATER THAN 10000
To get to a directory listing you can use either:
http://gutenberg.net/1/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/1/
Then navigate down through the subdirectories until you get to the
appropriate level, and then select the file you wish to download,
using your usual download procedures. This system works on mirrors,
too, and will hold all eBooks starting with the number "1" for
10,000 and beyond.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED 1 THROUGH 10000:
Use your Web browser or FTP program to visit our master download site
(or a mirror) if you know the filename and year you want. For example,
navigate to either:
http://gutenberg.net/etext06/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext06/
and then look for the first five letters of the filesname. Note that
updated eBooks usually go in their original directory (e.g., etext99,
etext00, etc.)
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Note: this listing best viewed with a fixed-width font, such as
Courier New or similar.

The Project Gutenberg Weekly Newsletter For Wednesday, April 28, 2004 PT1
*****eBooks Readable By Both Humans and Computers Since July 4, 1971******
This Newsletter is being completed and sent from our backup locations
as beryl.ils.unc.edu is down. Thus the numbers are probably a little
lower than they should be, as the listings of the new eBooks are sent
through a beryl listserver. Before beryl went down, we were up to a
weekly total of 84 new eBooks, so I am going with 85, as below, and I
will do my best to make sure we properly reconcile next week's number
with this. Apologies for any confusion this causes. The rest of the
Newsletter should be up to date, as I retrieved Newsscan and Edupage
articles from our backup email sites.
*Newsletter editors needed! Please email hart@pobox.com or gbnewby@pglaf.org*
*Anyone who would care to get advance editions: please email hart@pobox.com*
eBook Milestones
Last Year We Had Done Exactly 1,000 eBooks By The 3rd Week In April
*This Year We Have Done 1,579, Just About Exactly Moore's Law Growth*
[More On Moore's Law Below]
We Are ~1/4 of the Way from 10,000 to 20,000
12486 eBooks As Of Today!!!
7514 to go to 20,000
It took 32 years from 1971 to 2003 to do our 1st 10,000
It took ~3 1/4 years from 2001 to 2004 for our last 10,000
[From 2,486 to 12,486 = January, 2001 to April, 2004]
***
[The Newsletter is now being sent in two sections, so you can directly
go to the portions you find most interesting: 1. Founder's Comments,
News, Notes & Queries, and 2. Weekly eBook Update Listing.]
Today, and until we actually GET a new Newsletter editor who want to
do another portion, there will be only 2 parts. . .this is Part 1,
and the eBook listings in Part 2 [New Project Gutenberg Documents].
[Since we are between Newsletter editors, these 2 parts may undergo a
few changes while we are finding a new Newsletter editor. Email us:
hart@pobox.com and gbnewby@pglaf.org if you would like to volunteer.]
This is Michael Hart's "Founder's Comments" section of the Newsletter
Over Our 32 16/52 Year History, We Have Now Averaged About 386 Ebooks/Yr
And This Year Averaged Over That Same New eBook Level. . .PER MONTH!!!!!
We Are Averaging About 421 eBooks Per Month This Year!!!

*** HOT Requests!!!
We may need a volunteer who is travelling to the US from
the UK or South Africa to bring a radio that might help
in the development of a world wireless eBook network.
***
We're working up a team to read our eBooks into MP3 files
for the visually impaired and other audio book users.
Let us know if you'd like to join this group.

Project Gutenberg Needs DVD Burners
So far we have sent out 2.5 million eBooks via snailmail!
We currently have access to a dozen DVD burners. If you have
a DVD burner or know someone with one, please email Aaron:
cannona@fireantproductions.com
We can set you up with images or snail you these DVDs
for you to copy. You can either snail them to readers
whose addresses we can send you, or you can do a stack
of the these and send the whole box back for reshipping
to individual addresses.
We can also send you blank discs in quantities of 50-100
an *perhaps* also provide envelopes, sleeves, etc.
We also have many volunteers who only have time to do one
DVD per day and mail it out. These are greatly appreciated.
There is no need to do a lot per person if we have a lot of
people working on this.

_I_ am still interested in a DVD that has an actual total

*** PROJECT GUTENBERG IS SEEKING LEGAL BEAGLES
Project Gutenberg is seeking (volunteer) lawyers. We have
regular needs for intellectual property legal advice
(both US and international) and other areas. Please email
Project Gutenberg's CEO, Greg Newby <gbnewby AT pglaf.org> ,
if you can help.
This is much more important than many of us realize!
*** Progress Report
In the first 3.75 months of this year, we produced 1579 new eBooks.
It took us from July 1971 to Jan 1999 to produce our first 1,579 eBooks!
That's 16 WEEKS as Compared to ~28 Years!
85 New eBooks This Week
75 New eBooks Last Week
164 New eBooks This Month [April]
421 Average Per Month in 2004
355 Average Per Month in 2003

1579 New eBooks in 2004
4164 New eBooks in 2003
2441 New eBooks in 2002
1240 New eBooks in 2001
====
9424 New eBooks Since Start Of 2001
That's Only 39.75 Months!
12,486 Total Project Gutenberg eBooks
7,743 eBooks This Week Last Year
====
4,743 New eBooks In Last 12 Months
350 eBooks From Project Gutenberg of Australia
We're still keeping up with Moore's Law!
I think the figures below are slightly high,
since we did EXACTLY 1,000 eBooks by the 3rd
week in April last year, and this year 1579.
This is just about exactly 100% Moore's Law.
Moore's Law 12 month percentage = 104%
Moore's Law 18 month percentage = 101%
[100% of Moore's Law = doubling every 18 months]
Check out our website at gutenberg.net, and see below to learn how
you can get INSTANT access to our eBooks via FTP servers even before
the new eBooks listed below appear in our catalog.
eBooks are posted throughout the week. You can even get daily lists.

*** Continuing Requests For Assistance:
Project Gutenberg--Canada will be starting up soon.
Please let us know if you would like to volunteer!
Copyright in Canada is "Life +50" as in Australia,
and we have volunteers working on both of these.
We will also be seeking volunteers from others of
the "life +50" countries, as it looks as if the
Australian copyright law is falling victim to the
new "Economic Warfare" being waged by the World
Intellectual Property Organization and various
billionaire copyright holders around the world.

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.

of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.80 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 $1.29 when we had 7666 eBooks A Year Ago
Can you imagine ~12,500 books each costing ~$.49 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine ~12,500 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 12,486 eBooks in 32 Years and 9.75 Months We Averaged
380 Per Year [We do more per than that month these days!]
31.7 Per Month
1.04 Per Day
At 1579 eBooks Done In The 112 Days Of 2004 We Averaged
14 Per Day
99 Per Week
421 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 7th was
the first Wednesday of 2004, and thus ended PG's production
year of 2003 and began the production year of 2004 at noon.
This year there will be 52 Wednesdays, thus no extra week.

SONY E-BOOK GETS RAVE REVIEWS
Sony's Librii electronic reader is as easy on the eyes as the paper version,
says New York Times reviewer Todd Zaun. The Librii screen is a collaborative
effort between Philips Electronics and E Ink, and the letters appear
"as sharp and clear as those on a printed page. The screen can be
read from almost any angle, and it does not fade in bright light,"
says Zaun. Sony plans to begin selling the Librii in Japan next month
for about $380, and buyers will be able to download e-books for less than
$5 each from a Web site set up by Sony and a group of Japanese publishers.
Sony plans to see how its Japanese market develops before it decides whether
to expand to the U.S. and Europe. (New York Times 22 Apr 2004)

LINDOWS SET FOR IPO
Lindows Inc. has filed for a so-called Dutch-auction-style initial
public offering in an effort to raise up to $57.5 million. In a
Dutch-auction IPO, investors bid on shares and help set the offering price.
Lindows, which markets a version of Linux software for personal computers,
was founded by Michael L. Robertson, the entrepreneur who also founded
MP3.com. Lindows has locked horns with Microsoft, which has filed lawsuits
alleging that the Lindows name violates Microsoft trademarks on the Windows
operating system. In response, Lindows changed the name of its software to
Linspire last week. (Wall Street Journal 21 Apr 2004)

AUSTRALIAN BANKS LOOK AT LINUX SWITCH
Linux and open-source software have a big future - at Microsoft's
expense - in at least two of Australia's four big banks. Westpac and the
National Australia Bank are seriously considering open source, and the ANZ
Bank has yet to show its cards. Meanwhile, the Commonwealth Bank has
decided to stick with Microsoft products. Westpac and NAB are evaluating
Linux on the desktop, as well as open-source alternatives for their
back-end IT operations. That could lead to pockets of desktops running
open-source software, perhaps in ATM or teller environments and many
back-end systems, including internet-banking platforms running on Linux.

INDIA IMPLEMENTS E-VOTING
For decades, millions of illiterate Indians voted by pressing their
thumbprints on ballot cards. This year, they'll just press a button --
and so will everyone else. India's general elections, which began Tuesday,
are set to make the world's largest democracy also the world's largest user
of computerized voting machines. This year, in a staggered vote that runs
through May 10, India's 660 million registered voters will be able to
exercise their franchise on one of approximately 1 million computerized
voting machines in an electronic, ballot-less election. The change in India
is having a deep impact on politics. Supporters say it's also good for the
environment in a country trying to save its vanishing forests. More than
8,000 tons of paper, made from approximately 16 million trees, has been used
to print ballots for past federal elections. (The Australian 22 Apr 2004)

MD. GROUP DEMANDS PAPER BACKUP FOR E-VOTES
A voter advocacy group in Maryland is suing that state's Board of
Elections to prevent the use of touch-screen voting machines until a paper
record is installed as auditable backup for the system. At present, the
state's Diebold voting machines are not set up to produce a paper record of
each individual vote. Linda H. Lamone, the state elections administrator,
says that paper records are unnecessary because the Diebold system is
equipped to preserve votes in its memory: "It's stored in two different
locations. If we have battery failure, it still doesn't lose votes." She
also said: "It's going to be next to impossible for anyone to gain access to
manipulate the election. If anyone tries it, we're going to put them in
jail." (Washington Post 22 Apr 2004)

SEX.COM SAGA CONCLUDES
The lengthy legal battle over the rightful ownership of the "sex.com"
domain name has come to a conclusion with VeriSign's agreement to settle
for terms that are rumored to be around $10 million. "This shows that the
small guy can eventually beat a huge company. Hopefully, this leads to
better care, custody and control over people's intellectual property," says
Gary Kremen, who originally registered the name but found in 1995 that
Network Solutions had turned the rights over to convicted forger Stephen
Michael Cohen, who duped the Internet registrar into believing he had
purchased it from Kremen. A federal court in 2001 ordered Cohen to pay
Kremen $65 million, but Cohen skipped the country and is rumored to be
living in Monte Carlo. Kremen then set his sights on VeriSign, which had
purchased Network Solutions in 2000 and refused to admit any mistake had
been made. The company is embroiled in nine other lawsuits over problems
with domain-name registrations, according to the company's most recent
annual filing with the SEC. (Los Angeles Times 21 Apr 2004)

FINGERPRINT TECHNOLOGY IN OHIO SCHOOLS
The Akron, Ohio school district has begun using a $700,000 "iMeal"
program that identifies students in school lunch lines using their
fingerprints. Students whose parents don't want them fingerprinted can
instead be issued a PIN number to participate in the school lunch program.
The coordinator of Akron's Child Nutrition Services says, "It's a parental
and student choice what to do. We don't encourage or discourage either
option." Whether students use fingerprints or PIN numbers, they'll be able
to pay as they go through the lunch line or draw from a prepaid account.

WANT ATTENTION? DRIVE THROUGH MANALAPAN, FLORIDA
Manalapan, Florida, where two out of every three homes are worth more
than $500,000, will soon be running background checks on every car and
driver that passes through town. Cameras will take infrared photos recording
a car's tag number, and computer software will automatically run the numbers
through law enforcement databases; police will also have a picture of the
driver, taken with another set of cameras. A Manalapan police official says,
"Courts have ruled that in a public area, you have no expectation of
privacy." In any event, the official makes a point of saying that the data
collected this way will be destroyed every three months.

COMCAST WALKS AWAY FROM THE TABLE
Withdrawing his company's unsolicited bid to take over the Walt Disney
Company, Comcast president and CEO Brian L. Roberts explains: "We have always
been disciplined in our approach to acquisitions. Being disciplined means
knowing when it is time to walk away. That time is now. It has become clear
that there is no interest on the part of Disney's management and Board in
putting Comcast and Disney together. As a result, we have withdrawn our offer."

MICROSOFT EXTENDS CONCESSIONS
In a surprise announcement, Microsoft said it will allow competing
software companies to license its technology beyond the term required
by Microsoft's antitrust settlement with the government. One of the
major requirements of the settlement was that Microsoft allow
competitors access to its technology so that those other firms could
develop software that would work properly with the Windows operating
system, thereby spurring competition in the software market. Only 14
companies, however, have bought licenses to use Microsoft technology in
developing their own applications. Responding to comments from the
judge in the case that the settlement has not shown the results
anticipated, Microsoft said it will continue the licensing program
until November 2009, two years longer than the settlement requires.
Microsoft also said it will allow access to some portions of its
next-generation operating system, known as Longhorn.

COLLEGE TUITION OUTSTRIPPING INFLATION 10 TIMES OVER
As per a radio news program this morning, one of our regional colleges
is raising tuition today by 16% for incoming students, and 7.5% for
continuing students.
At 16%, this is 10 times the U.S. Inflation rate of 1.6% (2002)

It will only take 5 more 16% tuition hikes to double tuition.
We've already had several such tuition hikes reported.

[I'm still working on more information for you on this subject]
[Yes, there is more this week]
I've been researching and reporting on "Stereolithography" or 3-D
printing for about 10 years, and still have very little in the way
of press coverage of a pretty exciting computer application. . .
"printing" actual 3-D objects from your computer.
[Here'e The Latest On The 3-D Computer Age, And, Again, Note They

3D SEARCHING
Researchers have developed new search engines that can mine catalogs of
three-dimensional objects such as airplane parts or architectural features.
For example, Purdue University professor Karthik Ramani created a system
that can find computer-designed industrial parts, and Caterpillar Inc.
engineer Rick Jeff says of Ramani's technology: "If you've got to design a
new elbow for an oil line, more often than not, we have a plethora of
elbows"; Jeff says the problem has been that each has to be examined
separately -- a tedious task "that isn't even performed that often, because
it isn't feasible or practical... It seems like there's ever-greater demands
for speed in product development, and it's those kinds of breakthroughs that
are needed to keep up. This would really just add to the efficiency."
Professor Ramani says happily: "I think this is the beginning of the
information age." (AP/San Jose Mercury News 16 Apr 2004)

.:: HOW TO GET EBOOKS FROM PROJECT GUTENBERG ::.
The easiest way to obtain our eBooks is at our search page at
http://gutenberg.net/find.shtml
which allows searching by title, author or eBook number; there is also
an Advanced Search page which allows for additional search criteria
(note that our newer postings may not yet be indexed for all additional
criteria). And please note: you can now obtain a listing by language
at the above link.
Mirrors (copies) of the complete collection are available around the world,
and you can select one nearer to your location from the link on the search
results page. To see a listing of mirror sites, and locate the one nearest
to you, visit:
http://gutenberg.net/list.shtml
EBooks numbered 1 to 10000 are located in "release year" directories.
Over time, the "release year" advanced, so that by November 2003 the
release year was 2006. Starting with eBook #10001, they are filed by
their official eBook number, with a unique subdirectory based on that
eBook number.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED GREATER THAN 10000
To get to a directory listing you can use either:
http://gutenberg.net/1/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/1/
Then navigate down through the subdirectories until you get to the
appropriate level, and then select the file you wish to download,
using your usual download procedures. This system works on mirrors,
too, and will hold all eBooks starting with the number "1" for
10,000 and beyond.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED 1 THROUGH 10000:
Use your Web browser or FTP program to visit our master download site
(or a mirror) if you know the filename and year you want. For example,
navigate to either:
http://gutenberg.net/etext06/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext06/
and then look for the first five letters of the filesname. Note that
updated eBooks usually go in their original directory (e.g., etext99,
etext00, etc.)

=============================================================================
Last, but hopefully not least <g>:
Additional information, clarification, edification from various of our
Production Team members on a couple of today's postings:
#12095: More Bywords, by Charlotte M. Yonge
For those wishing to know: it's a collection of odds and ends by Charlotte.
There's a few short stories that never got made into novels, a few poems and a
play.
#12058: Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa Bk. 4, by Kisari Mohan Ganguli
From the DP Project Note: This is the 4th book of 18 in this massive work. It
is a national epic, produced by countless hands over many centuries;
"Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa" is its legendary, superhuman author, as Moses is
regarded as the author of the Torah. Ganguli is (only) its 19th century
translator.
Tagline:
"I know" is just "I Believe" with delusions of grandeur.
