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?
