FEATURED NEWS
-------------
NEWSLETTER EDITORS REQUIRED
I'm sure many of you read the post from Michael Hart that I am having to step
down from the editor position. Since moving to Germany my new job and life has
made it difficult to keep on top of the editors responsibilities. Although it's
not an especially time consuming position it does require a certain
reliability, which I am finding difficult to provide.
Since Michael's request we've had several people showing an interest. Perhaps
it is time to create a 'team' of editors - with the number of interested
parties we have, now could be a great time to try this new approach.
Therefore we are looking for any interested persons to bring forward their
ideas for contributes to the weekly newsletter. We know this new direction
will produce a really fantastic newsletter!
(The 'team' idea is not fixed and we could still stay with the one editor
formula.)
You can contact us by emailing editor@gutenbergnews.org OR hart@pglaf.org
The PG-News site will stay live and I will continue to update it with news
and stats from the newsletters, along with adding to the newsletter archives.
All the best
Michael Cook

NOTES:
To arrive at the Newsletter statistics a manual count was done on all the
'posted' listings found in the Newsletter Archives. For PG-EU the website
listing was used. All these statistics were then entered into a spreadsheet.
DP-EU is currently concentrating on U.S. copyright clearable eBooks and
therefore many of these are posted to both the PG and PG-EU sites, non U.S.
clearable books posted to PG-EU only. Please note that only the non-clearable
('Unique') eBooks are counted toward the Totals and not the overall PG-EU total.
DP-CA - Like the European project this has many books posted to both the PG and
PG-CA sites, non U.S. clearable books posted to PG-CA only. Please note that
only the non-clearable ('Unique') eBooks are counted toward the Totals and
not the overall PG-CA total.
PREPRINTS -- http://preprints.readingroo.ms
Please note that the PrePrint files are just that, PrePrints, and thus may move
later to other locations, including the main collection or The Project
Gutenberg Consortia Center.

================================================================================
Another year is over for Project Gutenberg and as always it has been a busy one. Although we started out a little slow we had a great charge in the last few months, yet again our volunteers posted over four thousands new titles. We hit some impressive milestones along the way and also welcomed some new projects; PG Canada and DP Canada.
The combined PG projects have now produced a total of 26,161 titles, a fantastics effort by all involved and I don’t see any reason why we won’t reach the 30,000 mark before the end of 2008!
The usual newsletter statistics are presented as normal but I would like to outline a few interesting numbers here.
Every year I write my predictions, hopes and fears, but this year I think we can all agree that these predictions cross boundaries, concern advances, and declines, in both the technology and social world orders that are far beyond anything I previously predicted.
This year’s predictions include “personal libraries” on “personal computers” to rival the largest libraries in the world; USB 3.0– which will reduce overnight data copying and backups to ONE HOUR; and very inexpensive terabyte drives.
Prediction #1: The “Personal Computer” as “Personal Library”
Prediction #2: USB 3.0 Will Change The World of Copies/Backups
Prediction #3: USB 3.0 Terabyte Drives Will Do More Than. . . .
Prediction #4: Is “The Digital Divide” Half Empty Or Half Full?
Prediction #5: Rethinking “The Digital Divide”. . .More or Less
The World’s Largest Libraries, Will eLibraries Be Counted?

RIP ROBERT MARQUARDT, PG-SF BOOKSHELF CREATOR
Robert Marquardt, PG's wiki sysop, died this morning [2007/12/29]. His work
must remain unfinished and questions to him will remain unanswered. This was
his last will. This info was added by his brother Rolf Marquardt today
at PG's wiki.
Robert joined Project Gutenberg in December 2006 to create the Science Fiction
Bookshelf. He has completed the Project Gutenberg Science Fiction CD, which
was a tremendously huge success. He also made a promotional video for PG in
Esperanto. He was now working in other bookshelves.
Robert always worked very hard at PG, even while he was doing his hard cancer
treatments.
I'm sure that these are sad news to all volunteers. PGLAF should perhaps take
some symbolic condolences action.

END OF 2007 PG STATISTICS
Another year is over for Project Gutenberg and as always it has been a busy
one. Although we started out a little slow we had a great charge in the last
few months, yet again our volunteers posted over four thousands new titles.
We hit some impressive milestones along the way and also welcomed some new
projects; PG Canada and DP Canada.
The combined PG projects have now produced a total of 26,161 titles, a
fantastics effort by all involved and I don't see any reason why we won't
reach the 30,000 mark before the end of 2008!
The usual newsletter statistics are presented as normal but I would like to
outline a few interesting numbers here [I've also created a nice graph which
can be found on the gutenbergnews.org website].
The most number of books posted...
...in one day was 65 on the 26th December
...in one week was 151 in Week 18 (week ending 9th May)
...in one month was 477 in November
We averaged 338 books per month, 78 per week and 11.13 per day.
99 titles have been REposted to the new filing system, bringing us almost
to the 2,000 mark...not too bad but I am sure we can do much better for 2008!
Here is a small selection of project milestones;
TOTAL Project Gutenberg e-Texts
* 26,000 on 2007/12/24

NOTES:
To arrive at the Newsletter statistics a manual count was done on all the
'posted' listings found in the Newsletter Archives. For PG-EU the website
listing was used. All these statistics were then entered into a spreadsheet.
DP-EU is currently concentrating on U.S. copyright clearable eBooks and
therefore many of these are posted to both the PG and PG-EU sites, non U.S.
clearable books posted to PG-EU only. Please note that only the non-clearable
('Unique') eBooks are counted toward the Totals and not the overall PG-EU total.
DP-CA - Like the European project this has many books posted to both the PG and
PG-CA sites, non U.S. clearable books posted to PG-CA only. Please note that
only the non-clearable ('Unique') eBooks are counted toward the Totals and
not the overall PG-CA total.
PREPRINTS -- http://preprints.readingroo.ms
Please note that the PrePrint files are just that, PrePrints, and thus may move
later to other locations, including the main collection or The Project
Gutenberg Consortia Center.

Robert Marquardt, PG’s wiki sysop, died this morning [2007/12/29]. His work must remain unfinished and questions to him will remain unanswered. This was his last will. This info was added by his brother Rolf Marquardt today at PG’s wiki.
Robert joined Project Gutenberg in December 2006 to create the Science Fiction Bookshelf. He has completed the Project Gutenberg Science Fiction CD, which was a tremendously huge success. He also made a promotional video for PG in Esperanto. He was now working in other bookshelves.

NEWS HEADLINES
--------------
Our little automated daily report didn't come in today, that would have
reflected PG prodution thru Wednesday-- our official production years,
months, weeks, run from noon the first Wedneaday per year and month, so it
may be TWO weeks before we get the final numbers of 2007.
Right now my personal estimate for 2007 is 4250. . . .
For this past week, something like 90.
And, PG Australia is coming up on their 1600th, maybe by the end of January.
In addition, the new PG of Chinese has taken off with a bang, having moved
through our 50+ languages with a last week's total in the Top 10, and now
moving quite rapidly into the Top 5.
We have about 400 chinese works cleared, and they are going online at record
rates, having passed Italian-- just between last Friday and this Wednesday
noon.
It would also appear we passed 26,000 PG originals as of this past week.
LOTS of things to look forward to in 2008!!!

The Amazon Kindle is not only the latest E-Ink book reader to hit the market it also one with the highest profiles. A couple of the biggest differences of the Kindle over other readers such as the Sony Reader (PRS-505) and the Cybook Gen3, are that the Kindle has wireless connectivity and a mini-keyboard.
This wireless connectivity allows the user to access books without the need of a PC, certainly a big plus for the more non-tech of consumers. Using the same 3G network as advanced cell phones, the Kindle delivers content using the Amazon Whispernet wireless delivery system. Unlike WiFi, you’ll never need to locate a hotspot. There are no confusing service plans, yearly contracts, or monthly wireless bills—Amazon take care of the hassles so you can just read.
Along with regular books this new service will allow you to have your newspaper subscriptions delivered via wireless each morning along with magazines. There is also an option for receiving your blog feeds.Becuase all this extra technology will hit the battery life, it may not be for everyone. Without a doubt, the keyboard will be a huge plus for many users.
Three years ago, we set out to design and build an entirely new class of device—a convenient, portable reading device with the ability to wirelessly download books, blogs, magazines, and newspapers. The result is Amazon Kindle.
I wonder what libraries have the highest circulation, and how many times their average books circulate, and things like that.Are these the kinds of things you consider?
The Loneliness of the Unread Books
I recall learning in Library School that the averages for circulation are around six times during the whole lifespan a book spends in a library.
I was shocked.
After all, the books I was reading were checked out six times while I still had them on reserve!
Then I realized for the first time how lonely average books must be in the libraries, and how lonely people who read them must be, knowing hardly anyone else was ever going to read them, and thus not being able from nearly the same perspective to share what they read.
We had some new friends over for dinner last night, and towards dessert, the conversation turned to books, and eventually to all the books that were now available online. They were quite interested in the travel accounts by women that Mary had been putting online, and remarked “You must have a passion for this.” When they found out that over 300 books had been republished on her site, on a completely volunteer basis, they said “that’s a *lot* of passion!”
I think that could be said about a lot of the people on the list.
Whether it’s the regular posters, or the folks who mostly lurk and occasionally send us email, this has been a group that’s been passionate about books, what they can do for people, and the importance of doing the best job we can to make them available to as many people as possible.
