This is only a minor change but should bring the PG count into line with the other gutneberg projects.
I am going to start taking the count for the week NOT including the Wednesday of the Newsletter. So, each day is taken as a whole (Wed = 00:00 to 23:59). This weeks count is taken as follows;
WED - 2007-09-12 - 13 new ebooks posted
THU - 2007-09-13 - 14 new
FRI - 2007-09-14 - 9 new
SAT - 2007-09-15 - 19 new
SUN - 2007-09-16 - 21 new
MON - 2007-09-17 - 3 new
TUE - 2007-09-18 - 15 new
WED – 2007-09-19 – This is today’s date and the numbers will be counted in next weeks totals.

GUTENBERG ARTICLE WRITERS WANTED
Since my relocation to Germany I'm struggling to find as much time to
research and put together interesting articles for the newsletter, so I'm
putting this request out for volunteers.
You will not be expected to write dozens of articles per week (although you
are welcome :), but if there were just a handful of people writing one per
week or fortnight, this would really help to provide more interesting
content for the newsletter.
Back in August, Marie Lebert wrote the excellent 'The @folio Project' article
and has indicated that she may have one or two more over the coming months.
You could join her and help the PG Newsletter become more than just a stats
listing.
If you're interested please email me: editor [AT] gutenbergnews.org
I look forward to hearing from you.
-- Michael Cook [Ed]
CHANGES TO THE NEWSLETTER COUNTING SYSTEM
This is only a minor change but should bring the PG count into line with the
other projects.
I am going to start taking the count ending Tuesday, NOT including the
Wednesday of the Newsletter. Therefore this weeks count is taken as follows;
WED - 2007-09-12 - 13 new ebooks posted
THU - 2007-09-13 - 14 new
FRI - 2007-09-14 - 9 new
SAT - 2007-09-15 - 19 new
SUN - 2007-09-16 - 21 new
MON - 2007-09-17 - 3 new
TUE - 2007-09-18 - 15 new
WED - 2007-09-19 - This is today's date and these numbers will be counted in
next weeks totals.
The only real difference is in helping me to produce the count, as now I don't
have to take into consideration the 12noon deadline that was previously used.

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.

Since my relocation to Germany I’m struggling to find as much time to research and put together interesting articles for the newsletter, so I’m putting this request out for volunteers.
You will not be expected to write dozens of articles per week, although you are welcome :-) but if there were just a handful of people writing one per week or fortnight, this would really help to provide more interesting content for the newsletter.
For full text and/or metadata search (simple and qualified) try the innovative Anacleto engine. Feed-back and suggestions are welcome by the Tesuji staff.

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.

PG CANADA STATISTICS
I have now included the PG-CA numbers into the overall stats. PG-CA works in
the same way as PG-EU. They have many books posted to both the main PG
arvhives along with their own. Therefore I am only counting the 'Unique'
posts, those that are posted only to the Canadian site, towards the 'Total'
number of PG eBooks.
500 AND RISING - THE AL HAINES MILESTONE
A short while ago I started a poll to see how many PG e-texts people have
read. If the votes can be trusted then there are currently over 36%, pretty
spiffy thought I, until I heard the latest from Greg Newby.
If you think reading several hundred PG e-texts is quite something then the
feat of Al Haines must be even more impressive.
This week Al Haines prepared and submitted his 500th e-book to
Project Gutenberg!
The Books of the New Testament, by Leighton Pullan 22459
[This is the 500th e-book prepared by Al Haines for Project Gutenberg!]

[Files: 22459.txt; 22459-8.txt; ]
[Clearance: 20070627150549pullan]
On behalf of Project Gutenberg I would like to send our congratulations
to Al on this fantastic milestone. I also have a message from Project
Gutenberg CEO, Greg Newby;
Al Haine is a highly valued volunteer who does quality work. His
contributions to the Project Gutenberg library are a pleasure to read, and
I always look forward to Als next title. His dedication to free online
literature is an inspiration.
SHAKESPEAREAN ACTORS WANTED
Along with the thousands of text files that Project Gutenberg has to offer
there are also many audio recordings. For many people these are great ways
to get to know the works of different authors.
Recently Michael Hart recieved a request from Tina Hansen,
"I notice that your site offers a number of audio books, both human
narrated and computer generated. I am pleased that you are adding more
books read by voice talent. I wish to suggest that adding a
human-narrated version of Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream
would be of value to anyone visiting the site. You do have this done
with an electronic voice, but I must be honest when I say that doing
any Shakespeare play with an electronic voice just doesn't sound the
same as it does when you get a group of competent voices together. The
electronic voices simply lack the nuances to make these works come
alive for the reader. Instead, the listener is likely to dose off.
Thus, I suggest that a call be put out for a version of this text done
by competent actors. I'm sure that there are plenty of theater groups
around the country who would be more than happy to take on this
project. Thanks."
As the son of a Shakespeare professor Michael Hart was in complete agreement.
Therefore Project Gutenberg would like to put out a request for any persons
or avid Shakespeare theatre groups to step forward and volunteer to make
these.
If you are unsure on how to go about making these recordings then visit
the LibriVox (librivox.org) website. There's lot of information on the website
to help you get started.
PRESS RELEASE: THE MOBILE LIBRARY

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.

German developer QiOO Interactive hosts the ‘Mobile Library’ – a service that brings classic books as well as modern literature to JAVA™-enabled cellphones. The portfolio ranges from Aristotle over Mark Twain to such extraordinary authors as Algernon Blackwood. As the founder Thomas Lucka states the Mobile Library will continue to release high quality books in the future – completely free of charge. Only older book releases contain a small amount of advertisment to refund the service.
Most of the newer books are launched in cooperation with Project Gutenberg. If people adopt the service there will soon be more mobile books available from Project Gutenberg. Depending on the file size of the texts provided by Project Gutenberg some books require newer phone hardware.
Along with the thousands of text files that Project Gutenberg has to offer there are also many audio recordings. For many people these are great ways to get to know the works of different authors.
Recently Michael Hart received a request from Tina Hansen,
I notice that your site offers a number of audio books, both human narrated and computer generated. I am pleased that you are adding more books read by voice talent. I wish to suggest that adding a human-narrated version of Shakespeare’s play A Midsummer Night’s Dream would be of value to anyone visiting the site. You do have this done with an electronic voice, but I must be honest when I say that doing any Shakespeare play with an electronic voice just doesn’t sound the same as it does when you get a group of competent voices together. The electronic voices simply lack the nuances to make these works come alive for the reader. Instead, the listener is likely to dose off. Thus, I suggest that a call be put out for a version of this text done by competent actors. I’m sure that there are plenty of theater groups around the country who would be more than happy to take on this project. Thanks.
A short while ago I started a poll to see how many PG e-texts people have read. If the votes can be trusted then there are currently over 36%, pretty spiffy thought I, until I heard the latest from Greg Newby.
If you think reading several hundred PG e-texts is quite something then the feat of Al Haines must be even more impressive.
This week Al Haines prepared and submitted his 500th e-book to Project Gutenberg!
