Editorial
Hello,
Listening to the radio yesterday I heard a song the first line of
which ran "What are words worth?". Two possible answers to that
question appear in this weeks newsletter. In a piece to celebrate the
anniversary of his birth on 27th Feb, Gali looks at the life of
Johannes Gutenberg. We have another instalment of the PG A to Z, and a
small preview of what looks to be a very exciting event in the life of
DP-EU tomorrow - in the words of another song "The revolution will not
be televised".
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://gutenberg.net/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:

2) News and Comment
PRoject Gutenberg rules in Europe.
To complete his trip to Europe Michael Hart is taking part tomorrow in
a talk in at the European Parliament in Brussels.
Abstract "Project Gutenberg: An Effort To Give Away A Quadrillion eBooks By 2015".
Michael S. Hart will present a brief history of Project Gutenberg's
efforts to bring electronic libraries to the masses via a
Neo-Industrial Revolution. He will then make predictions concerning
the next several decades, including eBooks, eLibraries, copyright and
machine translation: including million eBook libraries one can carry
with a laptop, billions of Internet users, and the future of copyright
and the public domain.
Project Gutenberg has published more than 11.zip free e-books like the
Bible, Alice in Wonderland, works from Shakespeare, Dante. etc.. In
its effort to set up a Dutch mirror site of these e-books,
Vrijschrift.org Foundation concluded it is a tricky thing to do. In
fact legislation around copyrights makes it impossible to publish old
European public domain works, digitized by European volunteers on an
European server in a straight forward way. In short:
Current copyright legislation is preventing access for European
citizens to their own cultural heritage on Project Gutenberg.
This was the reason Member of the European Parliament Johanna Boogerd
(D66-ELDR) asked questions about this issue to CEC . While in Europe
Michael Hart will meet Johanna Boogerd to talk about these issues with
her and other MEP's.
"There is a lot at stake" says Yee Whu. "A constant tendency to extend
copyright terms will finally result in the extermination of the Public
Domain. Fortunately there has come resistance against the pro
copyright and (software) patent lobby. MEP's expressed their concern
clearly by voting against software patents. Now they have to resist
the US and WIPO pressure to introduce eternal copyrights. This
influence could result in the destruction of Europe's cultural
heritage, but the EU is strong enough to counter it, that is, if they
really want to..."
Distributed Proofreaders Europe to make official mass posting
Distributed Proofreaders Europe is hoping to make its first official
mass posting to Project Gutenberg tomorrow. It is hoped that this will
mark the end of DP-EU's testing period, and their appearance in EU
parliament.
Whilst the list of texts hasn't been finalised as yet, we are in a
position to give you a few ideas of what is likely to be included.
Languages: these are likely to include Serbian, Finnish, Norwegian,
French, English, Italian and Portuguese.
Possible books could include: La Campagna del 1796 I, Wanderings by
southern waters, eastern Aquitaine and Travels through the empire of Morocco.

3) Notes and Queries, Reviews and Features
A to Z - V
Well, there'll be nothing here then. Oh, how wrong can you be. Of
course there is, and it's pretty good. V is dominated by that well
known author 'Various', and it's in this part of Project Gutenberg we
find the many collections, several of which we have covered
previously. You can find out more about Atlantic Monthly and Scientific
American Supplement on the newsletter website. There are several more
collections accumulating in this section, such as Blackwood's
Edinburgh Magazine, Punchinello and The Mirror of Literature, Amusement,
and Instruction; we will be covering these indepth in future
newsletters. You can also find a full collection of US Presidential
Inagural Addresses. Jules Verne and Voltaire also feature heavily, one
text that might get downloaded over in newsletter towers this week -
Edmund Venables 'The Life Of John Bunyan'. It would be slightly
remiss of me (and several people would kill me) if I didn't mention
Margaret Vandercook - The Camp Fire Girls at Sunrise Hill!
In books we have several compilations of verse: 'Verse and Prose for
Beginners in Reading Selected from English and American Literature',
'Verse-Book Of A Homely Woman', 'Verse Of Alfred Lichtenstein',
'Verses'by Susan Coolidge, 'Verses 1889-1896' by Rudyard Kipling,
'Verses And Rhymes By The Way', 'Verses And Translations'. You can
also take a voyage: 'Voyage Au Centre De La Terre' - French by Jules
Verne, 'Voyage d'un Habitant de la Lune à Paris à la Fin du XVIIIe
Siècle' - French by Pierre Gallet, 'Voyage Of Captain Popanilla',
'Voyage Of The Beagle', 'Voyage Of The Hoppergrass', 'Voyage of The
Paper Canoe; a geographical journey of 2500 miles, from Quebeck to the
Gulf of Mexico, during the years 1874-5' - to name but a few.
Read an etext - see the world!
Johannes Gutenberg
At the beginning it was the Word. Then came letters, fonts and weekly
newspapers. What will come later on we do not know. What we do know is
that a lot of rains have passed since an unsung genius took a stone
with awkward hand and made a clumsy picture on the wall of a cave,
trying to transfer ephemeral information into the fixed material
object. And since then humans have been constantly busy with
inventing ways to store, transfer and hide this information. Writing
was a serious thing, very close to magic and to be literally meant
to have power. It was a rare and profitable profession. Since 7th
Century Chinese had carved the text on the wooden plates, making
relatively cheap printed books - Confucian and Buddhist texts, math
and poetry were made in this way all over the Empire. In
the middle of 11th Century Pi Sheng created movable print. The
small pieces of burned clay, each contains one Chinese character, were
glued to the iron plate forming a page of a text. Then they were
easily detached and reconfigured to make another text.
And then?
Nothing happened.
Nothing exciting really happened for about three hundred years until
William Caxton utilised the printing press for printing in quantity.
So in the respectable patrician family of merchant Friele Gensfleisch
zu Laden and his wife Else Wirich, was born a son, christened Johannes
Gensfleisch zur Laden zum Gutenberg. It was in their residence in
Mainz, called 'Hof zum Gutenberg' somewhere between 1390 and 1400. We,
Westerns, enjoy round numbers, so it was decided that literate
humanity wants to celebrate the 600th birthday of Gutenberg in the year
2000 A.C. So be it, since it doesn't really matter when ? the most
important that he definitely was born. From the father line he could
inherit talent and knowledge in metal working ? Gänsfleisch'es were
masters of archiepiscopal mint and had a seat at the assizes in
forgery classes. And from mother side it was probably relatively long
life and knowledge about pottery. Else Wyrich was a daughter of a
burgher of Mainz, Werner Wyrich zum steinern Krame (at the sign of the
pottery shop).
The life of Johannes Gutenberg is slightly obscured by his
ordinaryness, very little information about him exists, what we would
do without legal notes, court sentences and other records? Many even now
obscure famous lives would be completely unknown without it ? take
Shakespeare for example. And certainly this is true about Johannes:
his biography is almost entirely based on court documents [Hurrah for
bureaucracy! - Ed]. In the year 1420 he was first mentioned in connection
with the settlement of his father's will, making him legally of age,
at least fifteen years old, according to the practice of Rhineland at
that time. His family is believed to have left Mainz 1411
together with other patrician families due to a dispute with the
guilds about tax and custom privileges. They might move first to
Eltville where Else had a house and then to Strasbourg. If this
was so, then a certain Johannes de Alta villa (Eltville) that was
immatriculated in 1418/1419 at the University of Erfurt, could be our
Johann. Anyhow but young Johannes should be not only literal but also
well educated person - his Latin was undoubtedly good since he was
able to tackle such an ambitious undertaking as printing the Latin
Vulgate Bible. In 1434 we know for sure that he was in Strasbourg,
where he instigated the arrest of an official of the city of Mainz,
for non-payment of an annuity which was due to him. Another document
confirms that Johannes was trying to have fun in Strasbourg as well -
in 1436/7 he was accused by Ennelin zu der yserin Thüre of having
broken a promise to marry her. In 1439 the records about legal disput
between Gutenberg and the brothers Georg and Klaus Dritzehn teach us a
lot of interesting facts - that he joined the guild of goldsmiths,
than he had pupils in 'the polishing and grinding of precious stones'
and that they made pilgrim's mirrors. (Pilgrims hoped to catch some of
the blessed light from the relics with these salvation mirrors and
thus catch the power of the relics and take this home with them). In
these records, Gutenberg appears distinctly as the technical originator and
manager of the business. One of witnesses states that, in his capacity
of goldsmith, he had supplied in 1436 "printing requisites" to the
value of 100 gulden; mention is also made of a press constructed by
Konrad Saspach, a turner, with peculiar appliances (screws). The name
of the secret art was not given, and we can only guess - why did he need
those requisites and the press. On October 17th, 1448, Johannes
borrowed 150 guilders from his cousin Arnold Gelthus.
One interesting item from http://prodigi.bl.uk/gutenbg 'In a letter
of 12 March 1455 Enea Silvio Piccolomini, later Pope Pius II, wrote to
Juan de Carvajal, the cardinal for whom we worked, and mentioned that
at a political meeting held in Frankfurt 15-28 October 1454, a
marvelous man had been present either showing part of his work on the
Bible or, perhaps, talking about it. He explained that the book had
such neat letters that Carvajal could read it without his glasses. By
March 1455 Piccolomini had seen several gatherings of the Bible and he
reported that all copies had been sold.'.
"Let it be known by all unto whom these presents shall come that in
the year of 1455, in the third indiction, on Thursday, 6 November, in
the first year of the pontificate of Calixtus III, between eleven and
twelve noon in the refectory of the Discalced Franciscan friars in
Mainz ...", started the lawsuit record on 6 November 1455, Ulrich
Helmasperger, clerk of the Bishopric of Bamberg, royal notary and
certified public recorder at the Court of the Archbishop of Mainz.. It
is widely known now as Helmasperger Instrument and would make a nice
addition to PG collection maybe? the images and translations are widely
available over Internet
(http://www.gutenbergdigital.de/gudi/eframes/index.htm has very nice
copy of it for example). And this is the only contemporary account of
the business relations between Gutenberg and his companion Johannes
Fust, a merchant of Mainz and of Gutenberg's invention, the "Work of
the Books". This account of the legal proceedings documents that the
citizen of Mainz, Johannes Fust, swore the following under oath:
He had lent Gutenberg the sum of 1550 guilders which he himself had
had to borrow at an interest rate of 6%. In his view the money he lent
Gutenberg which was not used for their mutual benefit for the Work of
the Books was a loan and thus he demanded that the interest on this
loan be refunded to him. The Instrument briefly discusses the first
legal complaint - the demand for repayment of the money - and
describes the judgement which was unfavorable for Gutenberg.
The Instrument does not mention the final judgement - Fust's demand
that the partnership with Gutenberg be dissolved and the consequences
of this.
Apparently Gutenberg lost the case, and most of the printed later books
didn't bear his name. But it didn't matter - the process
had started. The typographic virus spread fast, so at the end of 15th
century there were more than 1000 printers across Europe.
In 1458 Gutenberg defaulted on debts incurred in Strasbourg in
1442. This may be read as an addional sign that he had lost the court
case and was in financial difficulties.
17 January 1465 Gutenberg was granted a pension (clothes, wine, grains
and house) as a courtier of the Prince-Archbishop of Mainz.
26 February 1468 Konrad Humery mentioned that he was the beneficiary
of Gutenberg's will and had received some material relating to
printing.
Geoffrey Chaucer (http://gutenberg.net/etext95/troic10.txt;
http://gutenberg.net/etext04/chcfl10.txt), English poet of 14th
century, one the most educated persons of his time, had about 60 books
in his bibliotheca. Project Gutenberg has already more than 11.zip
titles and that is only the beginning.
Cookery Club
The Project Gutenberg Etext of The Cook's Decameron:
A Study in Taste:
Containing Over Two Hundred Recipes For Italian Dishes
by Mrs. W. G. Water
During the research for last weeks A to Z I came across this text
again. Now, being in need of antipasti recipes I decided to take
another look at this text to see just what was in it.
The book is divided into two parts, the first being a narrative in the
form of a diary of a cookery school. The author being forced to both
learn the dishes and teach them to others due to a shortage of
suitable staff. The second part is a compendium of the recipes and
menus mentioned during the first. The text makes a point of not just
looking at the more expensive dishes of the time, but also cheaper and
vegetable dishes, along with, the editors' favourite part,
desserts. Unfortunately, antipasti isn't mentioned, but who needs that
now?

Distributed Proofreaders Update - February 18, 2004
Have you wondered recently where DP is going to? Do things seem to be
a little disjointed lately? You are not alone. I have heard this from
more than a few people in the past couple of weeks. What is important
to recognize is that such questions are good to air and are not always
an indication of something being wrong. More often than not when an
environment feels adrift or disjointed it is an indication of a state
of flux between distinct stages of growth. This is the very type of
stage which we are passing through now at DP.
In past weeks we have highlighted some of the transformations taking
place. The origins of these changes stretch back well before the new
year and they will yet require a good deal more time before they
settle into definitive daily patterns. It is at such times as this
that we all need to draw closer together and not slip into a general
sense of disorientation. Being distributed has powerful benefits when
our mutual skills and efforts are applied to specific tasks. Yet that
same distribution can work against us as a community, if we are not
active in reaching out to each other in transitional or turbulent
times.
We are heading for some interesting destinations in the months
ahead. During this time DP will be expanding and innovating into
untried regions. We have always done this and by staying dedicating to
growth and innovation we have made this project an impressive
success. If there is a distinction about the present time it may be
that the scope and pace of development is broader and faster than in
previous times of change. Together we can deal with this.
At this same time we are also witnessing an international expansion to
the PG infrastructure and the rise of a completely new Distributed
Proofreaders through the Rastko network of archives. This is a
monumental change, and we need to be sensitive to all the ways these
developments will effect us as a diverse and dispersed community of
thousands working towards the same objective.
In my view what we need this week is a little less focus upon the news
and a little more focus upon who we are and who we are becoming as a
working community. Project Gutenberg established something very unique
in history and very natural to the open nature of this
medium. Distributed Proofreaders opened the work of PG up to a vastly
wider audience of contributors than was ever imagined. Together, the
two projects have become something new in themselves that was not
foreseen--perhaps even a new social model.
We can travel from PG to PGEU and from DP to DPEU or to any mix among
the four and we will find familiar faces. "Who's who?" and "What's
what?" is causing more than a little confusion these days. It seems
like it shouldn't but it is ... and it is up to each us working
together to puzzle our way through this labyrinth. More often than
not, what were once two distinctive projects are growing harder to
discern. This has been underscored most recently by the developing
projects in Europe.
I thought about whether or not to open this discussion in the
newsletter or in the forums. The newsletter is the better choice
because it reaches across all the projects related to PG ... and this
is what we need to do; reach across. So in order to achieve that, we
are going to do something different with this week's column. We are
going to make it interactive and let a broad mix of readers
participate in the discussion. To do this will require two editions of
the column; and early and a late one. The first you are reading
now,and the second will be published on the newsletter archive as well
as in the two DP forums.
The interactive elements will take place in the Culture & History
forum, where we all can discuss these topics at great length. Now this
is a new idea, and untried, so bear with the bumps that are sure to
occur, and where you feel it helpful, join in and enrich this
important discussion. The future of PG belongs to the world. We each
have a stake in that future. We each have a say. What I am trying to
do here is provide a shape and form for that important conversation.
Stay tuned! Watch for the Late Edition in the Promotional forum.
For now...

3) Notes and Queries, Reviews and Features
A to Z - W
'W' has a wealth (sorry) of goodies for us.
Starting with the author catalogue we find Richard Wagner, who has six
volumes in the collection including both volumes of the
'Correspondence Of Wagner And Liszt'. Appropriately, Alfred Russel
Wallace, 'Is Mars Habitable?' Methinks we shall find out soon
enough. Although I have seen the film many times I shall be
downloading Lew Wallace's, 'Ben-Hur; a tale of the Christ' fairly
shortly. There are so many authors under 'W' that it will be hard to
do them all justice, of course, we have H.G. Wells, Oscar Wilde and
P. G. Wodehouse, and we would urge you, if you are not already
familiar with works by these authors to go out and read them. My
intention here is to blow off some of the dust on texts that perhaps,
we would not immediately think to read, such as, George Whale,
'British Airships, Past, Present, And Future'. In this book, which
seems to have been written just after the Great War, the author gives
an account of how the airship industry began and the major players in
airship technology. He also looks at the different types of airship
and gives an explanation as to the main design features, handy should
you ever feel the desire to build your own. A very interesting text to
find.
There are several large collections by 'W' authors. One which caught
my eye was John Greenleaf Whittier. Now my total knowledge here is
zero, but the titles are enough to make you think. 'Complete
Anti-Slavery, Labor and Reform, From Volume III., The Works of
Whittier: Anti-Slavery Poems and Songs of Labor and Reform',
'Narrative and Legendary Poems: Pennsylvania Pilgrim and Others From
Volume I., The Works of Whittier', just two from a list of
many. Further research finds that Whittier, the son of a Quaker, was a
very strong supporter of the anti-slavery movement in the 19th
Century. The volumes mentioned are collections of just some of the
many verses and poems he wrote in support of this cause. Slightly,
tongue in cheek we end this look at authors with Gideon Wurdz, 'The
Foolish Dictionary: An exhausting work of reference to un-certain
English words, their origin, meaning, legitimate and illegitimate use,
confused by a few pictures [not included]', I suspect that might be
useful here at the newsletter desk.
In the volumes whose titles begin with 'W' we have 'Waltzing Matilda',
a fairly recent aquistion, being an MP3 file from Roger McGuinn. 'War
And Peace' by Tolstoy, 'Wars and Empire' by Sam Vaknin, who is an
occasional contributor to this very newsletter. The epic 'Waverley' by
Sir Walter Scott, Thoreau's 'A Week On The Concord And Merrimack
Rivers', 'Welsh Fairy Tales' by William Elliot Griffis, along with
'Welsh Fairy-Tales And Other Stories', Edited by P. H. Emerson, 'What
Katy Did Next' by Susan Coolidge, which seemed to be compulsary
reading when I was little (oh so long ago!), 'William Harvey And The
Circulation Of The Blood' by Thomas Henry Huxley, which sounds
fascinating. We finish this section with two more classics 'William
Tell Overture, Pt. 2' by Sodero's Band, this another MP3 file and a
recent aquisition from the Edison National Historic Archive and the
brilliant 'The Wind In The Willows', by Kenneth Grahame, a reprint
sits on the shelf to my right, it may just move before next week. One
last thing, it is in my contract to mention Helen M. Winslow,
Concerning Cats. As you can see there is a real wealth of material
gathered under 'W' and I would urge you to investigate further.
As you may know, one of Project Gutenberg's focuses (foci?) is the
diversification into languages other than English. The catalogue
features the following tomes in Welsh:
Owen M. Edwards, Yr Hwiangerddi and Cartrefi Cymru.
Hughes, Ceiriog, Ceiriog
Twm o'r Nant (Thomas Edwards), Gwaith Twm o'r Nant and Cyfrol.
And finally, we point you at 'Who Is..' on the newsletter website to
find out who some of our hard working volunteers are including Dr
David Widger, who has several collections of quotations gathered from
texts as they go through the production process available in the
catalogue, and who just never seems to sleep these days.
Window in Heaven Dust Jacket - Brett Fishburne
Brett recently found a copy of "Window in Heaven" by Margaret Bell
Houston. The front and rear portions of the dust cover were taped to
the inside of the front and rear covers of the book. Not being one to
pass up an opportunity to preserve a little history we present it here.
Front:
For a long time Eden Merihew had dreamed of a house of her own. She
had gone over in her mind again and again the plans for her "window in
heaven." Eden was in love with Larry Carrothers, a gay, carefree lad,
and together they planned their future in a beautifyl dream
house. Every detail was selected with utmost care, not even the broom
closet was forgotten. Feeling safe in a blissful futuer with Larry,
Eden saved a part of her salary toward her trousseau, spent her free
afternoons repainting furniture, and was extremely happy. But she had
not counted on Rosamond Earle, the girl who had always gotten
everything she wanted. Rosamond got Larry--and the dream house
crashed. Eden went to New Mexico to recover, and there she met Bruce
Hardie, and artist, whom she fell in love with and married. Returning
home she found that an anonymous donor had given her the dream house,
built according to her own specifications. The gift came through the
hands of a law firm, and no amount of questioning revealed its
source. Eden thought it might have been her Uncle Peter, but then it
was rumored that Larry Carrothers, her former fiance, was responsible
for the gift. And when Rosamond accuses Eden of accepting the house
from Larry, Bruce believes the accusation and leaves his wife. Who
built the dream house for Eden? What becomes of her marriage to Bruce?
Mrs. Houston writes brilliantly, and presents the story in a very real
fashion. Set against the background of a Texas town, "Window in Heaven
is a charming romance with an entirely unusual twist.
Back:
Margaret Bell Houston has Texas in her blood. Her grandfather was
fighting Sam Houston, the "Buckskin Colossus," Chief of the Cherokees,
and the founder of Texas. Miss Houston was born there at Ceder Bayou,
the daughter of Dr. Samuel Houston, physician and journalist, and Lucy
Anderson Houston, poet. One of her first memories is of her father
being introduced on the speaker's platform as the son of Sam
Houston. "I am too small a man to wear the mantle of Sam Houston," he
had said. "On me it would drag in the dust." Some time later, the
diminuitive Miss Houston was invited in a spirit of jollity to speak
to another assemblage. "I am too little," she declaimed, remembering
her father's words, "to wear Sam Houston's blanket. If I was to put it
on it would get all dirty."
Quiz

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.)

============= [ 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://gutenberg.net/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
Copyright proposals will affect Project Gutenberg of Australia
Following our report in November about the free trade talks between
Australia and the USA an agreement between the two countries has been
reached this week. You can find the full details here:
http://www.dfat.gov.au/trade/negotiations/us.html
Part 8 will affect PGOz, and this states that amongst other items
there will be " An increased term of protection for copyright
material", this will bring the Australian copyright terms into line
with the USA ones and effectively wipe 90% of etexts from PGOz.
The Australian press today picked up on this issue with The Age
printing this story:
http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/02/10/1076388365432.html
Several Project Gutenberg volunteers are planning a writing campaign
to representatives within the Australian parliament. If you would like
to know more about their efforts you can find information on the
newsletter website www.gutenberg.net/newsletter
Michael Hart visits Europe
Before you ask he's not here to sightsee. Michael has a fairly
comprehensive program whilst in Europe to talk about Project Gutenberg
and issues such as copyright and etext production.
Michael's European tour started today (Wednesday). This morning
Michael accompanied Nicholas Pettauix to a radio interview (available
here in French: http://media.rtbf.be/radio/alademande/face/MA_face.mp3
). Whilst Michael was not able to speak himself to the journalist
presenting the program, it appears that Michael and Nicholas have been
successful in persuading the editor of Editions Luc Pere
(http://www.lucpire.be) both to contribute to and use Project
Gutenberg. Hopefully, another 1200+ titles will be available through
this cooperative effort. Michael will be visiting UNESCO Paris
tomorrow and representatives of the French Parliament on Friday.

As mentioned in part 2 of this weeks newsletter:
Phaethon, by Charles Kingsley 11025
[Subtitle: Loose Thoughts for Loose Thinkers]
For those wishing to know: the Rev. Charles Kingsley wrote this fictional
account of Socrates and the youth Phaethon to counter what he saw as a
drift away from traditional church teaching that was taking place in his
age (i.e. the English Victorian era). Like a number of Kingsley's works
it caused trouble when first published with critics attacking it.
Literary and General Lectures and Essays, by Charles Kingsley 11026
For those wishing to know: another volume from Macmillan and Co.'s Works
of Charles Kingsley. Odds and ends essays and a tribute to Rev. Frederick
Denison Maurice. Kingsley was probably the best known of Maurice's
"disciples" and many of Kingsley's famous works seek to expand Maurice's
teachings via the medium of the novel.

Celebrating Prishan
Prishan has become this week the our first Distributed Proofreader to
have proofed 100,000 pages. On behalf of Project Gutenberg and
everyone here at the newsletter.
Congratulations!
Prishan has had a forum thread dedicated to this momentous occasion and from
there we reproduce the words of Juliet Sutherland,
"I'd like to take this occasion to recognize not only all the careful work
that this milestone represents, but also your contributions to our community.
You've kept us thinking, amused, and always learning. We've watched you
become ever more fluent in English. We've learned about all sorts of holidays
and traditions from India. And you've shared some very poetic and mystic
moments with us."
Well done Prishan, from all of us who dare to follow in your proofing steps.
Distributed Proofreaders Update for February 11, 2004

3,175. This hour--since we do need to count by the hour now--the total
has reached 3,260. That amounts to 85 projects completed and ready for
posting to PG. The previous week matches that figure near to
exactly. To set this into the context of where the column needs to go
I will share with you my own perspective on how important an
accomplishment 85 completed projects a week is. Bear with me for this
ride? We have somewhere to get to today.
This past Sunday was a rounded year since I joined up with Distributed
Proofreaders. On that day in 2003 the total of Gold texts for the
previous month was 119. February's total would match that number,
evidencing a slight up-tick by doing so in 28 days. In only a year's
time we have witnessed a month's total production being achieved in
little over a week's time. How did DP manage this? Well, the answer to
that is a little more elusive than we might like it to be. Simply put,
it is true enough to say that this result rests upon a broad
combination of factors and innovations. As there is much to be gained
from a finer analysis of this success, we are going to looking into
the facts of DP's production efficiency through the rest of this
month. That the site coders and admin's have provided us with some new
tools for deciphering this progress will make the investigation all
the more interesting.
But before we start exploring this study, it is important that we step
back a little ways from the day to day work which brings us all
together. Numbers are what we use to measure our progress and they are
essential guides to steady improvement. What numbers alone cannot do
is inform us of an eventual value of the product of our collective
labors. Today is the 11th of February, halfway through the day DP has
posted 125 books to PG. So for every day this month DP has transmitted
10 unique books into a form that allows them to be freely distributed
throughout the world. If the present rate of production were to lock
steady from now until New Year's eve, we will enrich the digital
public domain by over 3,650 individual volumes in 2004.
I stress that to the point of obvious redundancy for a specific
reason; to remind us all of the central plot to this tale which we
have all become players in. As a lifelongstudent of history it has
long stood out to me that one of Humanities most costly flaws is that
we forget. Forgetfulness seems to be hard wired into us. Yet I
believe, in my more optimistic moments, that this might just be a
saving grace and not the eventual cause of our doom. What saves us,
quite often in the most critical moments, is each other. What I may
forget you can easily refresh in my memory. This act of common
humanity is so very essential to survival and progress. When it comes
to the great social issues of our time there is no doubt to the
imperative nature of this mutual care and exchange. The contextual
question is whether or not such significance can be equally accepted
within the PG/DP communities. I believe that this is not merely a
possibility, but a necessity.
What you are now reading is a second version of this week's DP
Update. More than halfway through writing the first edition--which I
must say, was 'quite good'--I deleted it. This was not an accident but
a very firm intention. The path I was writing along was simply a wrong
turn and I needed to go back to the fork in the road and take a
completely different journey. If you are still reading, I assume that
you want to come along? Good. I'm in the mood for noble company today.
The heart of my unease with the initial version was that I was
completely omitting any reference to the recent developments in
Australia. This is really not such a hard thing to for a DPer who does
not hail from 'Down Under.' It could almost be forgivable, just as the
low murmur of a response to the Free Trade Agreement in the DP
forums. See, the thing is we do not and can not work on the texts
which are produced for PG Australia. So, for 95%+ of the DP community
... "Out of sight is out of mind." as far as this issue is
concerned. For my part, recognizing that Alice would be covering the
PGAU news front, I blissfully turned to all the upbeat, positive news
of this week, for there is plenty of it. "After all, it is PGAU not
DPAU, right?" . . .
Wrong! And on that 'wrong' my index finger tapped the Delete key.
To put it succinctly I will lift a quote from the recent thread in the
DP forum about PGAU: "Apathy is illiterate--it would not care if the
public domain were to go extinct. .... So it is on those who actively
create with the PD to start making a loud noise. .... If people are
not outraged by the present lock down on the PD it is not always their
fault. It may be as simple as ... they just do not know about it." -
Henry Craig
Now I have known Henry for ten years, and in that time I have listened
to that view repeated in many ways. Perhaps this is why the words kept
nagging at me as I started writing earlier. If so, that would make my
decision no less valid. Henry's right. If we care enough to commit our
time, talents and creative energy to enriching the fields of the
Public Domain, then we should be willing to stand up and defend that
field when it comes under challenge.
Now, let me be clear with you ... I am not talking about radicalism
here. I am not endorsing anything different than what we already do;
apply ingenuity to collective effort for a cause we all believe in
which benefits people throughout the world. The distinction I propose
is that we raise our perspectives just a little higher on the
horizon. By this, I mean that our concern and care for a book project
extends beyond the time when it is posted to PG.
At the present level of production DP masters the means to produce
over 3,600 books a year for Project Gutenberg. That is 3,600 books for
everyone in the world with access to the Internet. If you go digging
around in the basement of the forums you will find within my earliest
posts, a call to embrace the historic significance of DP. This was
itemized on several levels. We have used a decent amount of ink in
past columns for the uniqueness of DP among distributed projects. The
foundation of this distinction rests upon the fact that DP is
'distributed' through people, not electronic processors. This truly is
historic, and it is not possible to know from today the long term
utilization borne from the fruits of this 'proof of concept.' The
recent decision to incorporate the DP model within the Rastko archive
network of Europe is assuredly only the first of many innovative
examples to come.
The other historic development unfolding at DP is what needs a little
more attention in light of recent events. The changes to trade agreed
to this week in Australia are likely to have a profound impact on the
network of Project Gutenberg archives. How we deal with this as a
distributed community will depend a great deal upon our self concept
and the estimation of our strength and influence within this age and
for ages to come.
We produce 10-12 books a day, every day for the education, enrichment
and simple entertainment of the world public. Who else presently is
doing that? I don't see anyone out there coming close. As impressive
as this is, I say 'hold on a minute' and raise your eyes up. Expand
your sense of who we are. Add to what DP produces, all the works by
the Independent developers allied to PG. Take also into consideration
the work of PG Australia, and the work now beginning at PG
Europe. Combine this with the vast enrichment that is already being
added through DPEU by the advent of character sets beyond Latin1. Look
higher still and see the ever-increasing support of the National
libraries and international cultural organizations along with the
contributions by contemporary authors. Consider all of this, the next
time you use the word "community" to describe what we are building at
DP. Consider all of this ... because this is the DP community.
The next time you are in a library and you come across a book that
strikes you as a great addition to the PG archive ... think about what
you are doing for a few moments. The next time you are scanning some
pages, running some OCR, or uploading 25 megs of .png files ... think
for a few moments. The next time you are proofing a page ... running
GUIGuts or Verifying a finished project ... think about the countless
individuals your work will be touching. Most importantly, the next
time you download a completed text from PG ... think. Yes, at every
point of contact and participation in this wonderful endeavor we
should all pause for some moments, lift our eyes beyond the day's
horizon and consider the enormous range of Humanity that we are
connecting with.
The work of Project Gutenberg IS unique to our time, and it is
historic in nature. From the spark of inspiration that landed on
Hart's shoulder some thirty years ago ... to the retired grandmother
of six who will log on tonight in North London to proof a few pages of
Wordsworth on DP ... to her great great grandson, not yet born who
will carry the entire PG library in a hand held device on a summer
vacation to the Moon some year ... we are all connected. And should it
come to pass, like a shadow out of Mordor, that the work of PG
Australia is removed from the public domain ...then too shall we all
be connected.
That day has not come yet. What has been agreed to on paper, is not
yet law. Think about it ... that's all I ask. I did, and it changed
every word you have read today. Think about it ... because thoughts do
change things--they change us. If we change, then the world can
change. We learnt this week that the future is no longer what it used
to be. What it might now be leaves a heavy feeling in many hearts of
those who are close to us in this work. What can we do about that?
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin once wrote, "The future belongs in the
hands of those who can give tomorrow's generations valid reasons to
live and hope." I tend to believe we fit that role. I don't feel that
to be a boastful claim, but rather an acceptance of responsibility.
Do what you will with the time that is yours then. Just be assured of
one thing ... you won't be alone. The rest of us will be right here
with you. Very often the best choice of action is to do exactly what
you already are doing. If your heart leads you to participate in one
or more of the projects which support Project Gutenberg then you are
likely already doing what you should to help make this vision a
sustaining reality. We all matter. Every task we take on from
proofing a page to writing a column makes a worthy difference and
counts for the long term. If you feel an urge to go an extra length
sometime, consider the power in thinking about the larger context of
the work which today places in your hands. When you come to your own
realization of the significance of that work try reminding others
close to you in subtle ways just how significant their share
is. Simply then, let us not forget why we are here together. We all
love most is what we hold cherished memories of and we tend to
preserve what we love. Refreshing our memory from time to time then is
very closely related to this line of work. That's my piece for now.
February is the shortest month, but you will not know it from how full
the next two newsletters are going to be. As we start our in-depth
exploration of what makes DP purrrr so finely, we will discover
together many wondrous details never before published anywhere. You
can expect the secrets of the DP masters to be revealed in these very
pages!
How does Jon Ingram scan like that--does he really have four arms?
Where did Big Bill actually get the magic proofing font from and what
manner of ciphers are hidden within its unusually shaped characters.
Have Curtis and Dave truly discerned the identity of the figure on the
'grassy knoll?'
How in the world did Prishan manage to proof the equivalent of twenty
years of the Encyclopaedia Britannica at the same time as he
shepherded 35 books through Post? Are the rumors true? ... does he
actually belong to a secret Guild of free & associated Post Processors?
All this and more will be revealed by month's end. Don't miss a word! ...
stay right here and I promise to make up some true stuff for you.
Really, stay close by. This is an important month for all of us. We
may need some extra hands on staff at the newsletter, and I am sure to
keep everyone up way past their normal bedtime, but we'll see that you
stay informed. There are many developments going on for DPEU and PGEU
this week. It is an exciting week across the continent, I am doing my
best to keep up with all the latest tips. It is going to take a
special issue to cover all the news as MH wraps up his tour of
Europe. We will be working time and half to bring you all the details
as we get word of them. In the meantime check in at the forums of DPEU
to keep up on the progress of events. While you're there lay down some
support and take on a few pages. After all, that's how we make history
around here ...
one page at a time.
Until next week, all the best in the world for you!

3) Notes and Queries, Reviews and Features
Romantic Love Literature: Short Essay and Shorter Quiz
By Tonya Allen
Romantic love has been a strong theme in literature from its
beginning. Two of my favorite love stories are among the oldest--the
story of Pyramus and Thisbe, and the story of Baucis and Philemon,
which can both be found in PG's etext of Bulfinch's The Age of Fable.*
PG's collection includes many love stories; a quick search reveals
dozens of titles or subtitles containing the magic word "love". Some
of the latest additions include The Love Affairs of Great Musicians,
Vol. 1 (Vol. 2 will appear shortly), with a lovely HTML edition; The
Garden of Bright Waters: One Hundred and Twenty Asiatic Love Poems;
The Elegies of Tibullus: Being The Consolations Of A Roman Lover Done
In English Verse; A Love Story, by A Bushman; and Literary
Love-Letters, by Robert Herrick.
For those who find all this hopelessly sentimental, may I recommend
The Dog: A Nineteenth-Century Dog-Lovers' Manual, a Combination of the
Essential and the Esoteric; The Botanic Garden. Part II. Containing
The Loves of the Plants; or Aphra Behn's Love-Letters Between a
Nobleman and His Sister. Let's not forget The Love Sonnets of a Car
Conductor, and The Love Sonnets of a Hoodlum, both by Wallace
Irwin. Or how about Malignant Self Love, or Narcissism Book of Quotes,
both by Sam Vaknin.
Sadly, another of my favorite love stories, Pushkin's Yevgeny Onegin,
is not in PG..... yet. For now, one can read the original Russian and
the English translation side by side at this site:
http://www.pushkins-poems.com/Yev001.htm
OK, here comes the quiz, shorter than usual but I hope you enjoy

a) The Song of Solomon b) Othello c) Romeo and Juliet d) Love for Love e) India's Love Lyrics
2. He got on to the bed, and wrenched open the lattice, bursting, as
he pulled at it, into an uncontrollable passion of tears. 'Come
in! come in!' he sobbed. 'Cathy, do come. Oh, do - ONCE more! Oh!
my heart's darling! hear me THIS time, Catherine, at last!' The
spectre showed a spectre's ordinary caprice: it gave no sign of
being; but the snow and wind whirled wildly through, even reaching
my station, and blowing out the light.
a) The Love-Tiff b) Wuthering Heights c) A Phantom Lover d) Love Among the Chickens
3. The moon was high and magnificent in the August night. Mrs. Morel,

inflamed soul.

4. Et elle restait seduite pourtant, elle songeait invinciblement au
chevalier Ivanhoe, si passionnement aime de deux femmes, Rebecca,
la belle juive, et la noble lady Rowena.
a) Une page d'amour b) Strates amoureuses c) Amour d) Ivanhoe
5. Und liebt mich meine Luise noch? Mein Herz ist das gestrige, ist's

A to Z - 'X'
Following Tonya's piece on romance (xxxxxxx), you might expect that
Project Gutenberg probably doesn't have much that fits into this
category. There are three authors in the catalogue Xueqin Cao and Xun
Yue, both of whom are Chinese and Xenophon, 431-355 BC.
Greek historian, essayist, and soldier, the author of Anabasis Kyrou
(The Persian Expedition), a tale Greek mercenaries who fought their
way back from the gates of Babylon to the Euxine (Black Sea). Among
Xenophon's other works are Hellenica, a continuation of Thucydides'
history of Greek affairs from 411 to 362 B.C., the Memorabilia of
Socrates, and the Cyropedia (Education of Cyrus), a historical novel
about Cyrus the Elder, the founder of the Persian empire.
Xenophon was born in Attica and grew up during the war between Athens
and Sparta (431-404 B.C.). At an early age Xenophon become a friend of
Socrates, whom his father Gryllus defended. In his own writings
Xenophon focused mostly on practical subjects or history, without
showing much enthusiasm for philosophical speculations. In the
Memorabilia he gives much lighter version of Socrates' teachings than
Plato, who was also his contemporary. Xenophon portayed Socrates as a
cheerful, down-to-earth character, who, like Aesop, solves moral
problems with pragmatic attitude.
Although Xenophon was an Athenian, he spent much of his life in
Sparta. When democracy was reestablished in Athens in 401, Xenophon, a
man of right-wing political opinions, turned his back on its new
leaders and went to abroad. He joined, with ten thousand Greek
mercenaries, the expedition (anabasis, march up country) of Cyrus the
younger into the hinterland of Asia Minor. However, Cyrus's real aim
was to oust his brother King Artaxerxes II of Persia. His plan failed
- Cyrus lost his life in the battle of Cunaxa. The mercenaries were
left leaderless on the plains between the Tigris and the Euphrates,
over 1,600 kilometers (about 1,000 miles) from home. Xenophon was
elected one of the generals. In this role he took the principal part
in the struggle of the Greeks to return home through the "barbarian"
world of Persia. Less than 6,000 mercenaries survived. The Anabasis
become not only an account of the expedition but a tale of military
virtues, discipline, leadership, and courage.
After "the march of the 10,000" Xenophon entered the service of the
Tracian king Seuthes and in 396-394 he served the Spartan king
Agesilaus II, who defeated a coalition of Greek states at the Battle
of Coronea in 394. About 365 Xenophon returned home, and settled with
his wife Philesia and two sons at Scillus in Elis. There, during the
following two decades, he probably composed most of his
works. Xenophon's experiences in cavalry and love of horses prompted
two books, Hipparchikos (Cavalry Officer) and Peri hippikes (On
Horsemanship), the oldest surviving complete manual on this
subject. Xenophon starts the latter work by explaining, how to avoid
being cheated when buying a horse. In Hieron, a fictitious discussion
between King Hiero I of Syracuse and the poet Simonides of Ceos,
Xenophon presented ideas how an autocrat can secure his subjects'
loyalty.
Xenophon died in Corinth. His last book was probably Poroi e peri
prosodon (Ways and Means), in which he suggested methods for
improvement of Athenian public finance and advocated a policy of
peace.
A Hilltop on the Marne by Mildred Aldrich
This was brought to my attention this week as it was posted by Joe
Loewenstein. Joe states that 'The author had a successful career as a
journalist in the U.S. in the late 19th century, then retired to
France about the turn of the 20th century. After living in Paris a
number of years, she moved to a house in the countryside just before
the outbreak of World War I. This book is a collection of letters she
wrote during the early months of the war. Her style and command of
language are excellent, and it's hard to stop reading once one
starts. The html version includes some illustrations.'
Mildred Aldrich, was born in Providence, Rhode Island and was raised
in Boston, Massachusetts. She began her career as a journalist with
the Boston Home Journal, and later worked for the Boston Journal and
the Boston Herald. In January 1892 she founded The Mahogany Tree,
which she edited until December 1892, when the magazine
folded. Published weekly, The Mahogany Tree contained editorials,
fiction, poetry, and drama and book reviews.
In 1898 she travelled to Paris, and subsequently settled there. Whilst
living in France, she became a close friend of Gertrude Stein and Alice
B. Toklas, and was a member of their social circle. She worked as a
foreign correspondent, translated plays from French into English, and
negotiated the rights to the works of French playwrights for
production in the United States. In 1914 she retired to "Hilltop" ("La
Creste"), her cottage in Huiry, a village on the outskirts of
Paris. While at "La Creste" she published four collections of her
letters: Hilltop On the Marne (1915), On the Edge of the War Zone
(1917), Peak of the Load (1918), and When Johnny Comes Marching Home
(1919). She also published a novel, Told In A French Garden (1916). In
her later years she was supported largely by a fund that had been
established for her by Stein and Toklas in 1924. She died at "La
Creste" on February 19, 1928.
The book that has been posted encompassess 'Letters Written
June 3-September 8, 1914', and it is interesting to see an eye-witness
of the American Civil War begin to describe the events of The Great
War of Europe, how she finds this thrilling and yet tragic within the
same sentence. The author goes on to describe events within her
commune which is sited very close to the corner of Belgium, France and
Germany, as day to day living goes on. This is a book which would have
illuminated my History O'level in a way I only dreamt about all those
years ago. If only text books were as compulsive reading as this.

Project Gutenberg 'Best of' CD revisited
Last August, thanks in large part to the efforts of Daniel Callahan,
Project Gutenberg released a "best of" CD. This disc has been copied and
given away to hundreds of people. For many readers, it was their first
exposure to the Project, and it is unquestionably an introduction of which
we can be proud. However, the project continues to grow and the selection
of books continues to improve, and so naturally the Best of Project
Gutenberg CD needs to be improved as well.
If there are any books which you would like to see added to, or removed
from the next release of the CD, please E-mail the title and author to
Aaron Cannon <cannona AT fireantproductions.com>. Don't be afraid to suggest
a large number of books, because even if your requests don't fit, they will
likely be used when a second volume is created. Also, if you have
suggestions on how the layout can be improved, please don't hesitate to
send that information along as well.
Visit http://www.gutenberg.net/cdproject/cd/index.html to view the current
CD.

Distributed Proofreaders Update
So how has 2004 been for you, so far? It is hard to believe that New
Year's eve was more than a month ago, but here we are two steps into
February. For the record, I like this year. It has an expressively
expansive quality to it--exciting but with a clearly intentional
creativity. Sometimes a new year starts off at a slow pace. The
weeks following the holidays find many people a little disoriented and
often in need of well earned recuperation. This is not one of those years.
January left the gate like Sea Biscuit and never looked back or seemed
to recognize anything to its side. As if to herald the pace of the
year ahead, one of the first moves of the new month was to seal the
count on another 1,000 completed book projects. Sound familiar? It
should. In January, DP put the finishing touches on the 3,000th text,
which as reported to that time was 'The Anatomy of Melancholy.' I
emphasize this item again today, looking back at January, because it
deserves attention within the larger context of DP's accelerating
development and efficiency. It was only last September that DP
celebrated the 2,000th Gold text. It took three years to achieve that
accomplishment. In a little over three months that followed, half that
number again was delivered to PG. At the present pace--nearly 3,175
complete at present--it is clear that the pace of production is
sustaining. Near to the Ides of March, DP will complete the 4,000th
project.
What January has revealed, to those who are tuned in to such things,
is that DP hassecured a stabilized production model that delivers the
goods. If you were watching closely through 2003, then you are
familiar with the many growing pains and trials the project passed
through on the way to this plateau. Granted, it takes a little bit of
objectivity to appreciate the vista of events which prove this
conclusion. If you step back a few paces you will recognize the
evidence soon enough.
Perhaps the biggest news event of January is the implementation of the
Distributed Proofreaders code base by a respected network of
international archives, known now and hereafter as DPEU. It is
justified that this significant and historic development is well
celebrated and we will do just this a little later. In truth though,
the initiation of the DPEU's pre and public test phases augments the
ongoing enlargement and enhancement of DP it does not define it. The
embrace of the DP model magnifies the validity of the past year's
decisions and the overall course set in place by Charles and DP
administrators. All the more worthy of 2004's initial promise is the
manner in which DPEU has not simply utilized the existing code and
model, but with wide open arms welcomed the DP community into their
own. Each day that passes reveals more the exciting path which awaits
us all up ahead. And if you will allow me to quote Rick Blaine, "I
think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."
While the spotlight was upon the European camp as it mustered forces
and set up the perimeters, many developments were unfolding back at
the home foundry. As much of this activity has been taking place
behind the scenery, you may be wondering "what activity?" Well, that's
why they pay me 12 year Scotch here, to keep you 'up on the latest and
tastiest.' The initiatives employed in January and carrying on into
this month will have profound influence upon the year ahead and for
this reason alone you should be aware of them if you plan on sticking
around for the mid-term future.
Does anyone remember the California conference all the way back there
in December? This was no mere social gathering, but a well planed
coordination of some of the most prominent minds working towards the
enrichment of the public domain on and off the Internet. Nor was this
a singular event. This was the first of what will be many and regular
such conferences. The California meet produced a bounty of benefits to
DP, some of these began cooking away even before everyone returned
home from the conference and continue to do so. Other plans and
initiatives have begun to be implemented and will become more and more
evident with te passing of time.
To frame these roughly, I will set them into three tiers: 1) Network
Architecture 2) Administration & Community 3) Production enhancement.
Time and space does not allow me to go into great depth, so I will
explain briefly what these are. If I am worth my measure their
significance to the course of DP through 2004 shall be self
evident. The network architecture is pretty much that; an enhanced
edifice for DP to live and work within. A new and independent server
will soon house the entire structure of the site, with the exception
of archival material. The primary reason for this is allow more
personal and immediate management of the heart and soul of the
machine, so to speak. As the actual moves draws closer we will take a
deeper look into the significance of this step and how it benefits the
future growth of DP.
The administration and community is actually the body of Distributed
Proofreaders. Without these two essential components we would be
little more than a loosely organized endeavor towards a good
cause. The awareness of this truth has been the motivation for an
extensive process of careful planning, dedicated effort and thoughtful
consideration and selection. The building of community within DP
began with earnest sometime last summer. We have all seen the result
of this over the past several months, and we have each felt its value
in our hearts. This is not an effort that can be invested once and
sustained indefinitely, nor is it a labor that can be entrusted to any
group of individuals. Community building and growth is an ongoing
process, which is only ever enriched and enhanced by the participation
and care of the many, not the few. There are enough of us who having
experienced the worth of what DP's community offers, will not let this
effort falter. Over the past month I have been working with a wide
range of participants from all corners of DP to discuss areas of
future development and inclusion into the cultural landscape being
defined by the journey of this project. Stay tuned to future columns
and forum posts as these exchanges take on more concrete forms.
A healthy community like a healthy project stays that way through the
attentive and loyal work of a core team of people willing to take on
the responsibility of direction and administration. Adding to this
team is an important and well weighed process. For the most of us,
coming to DP is an option. If we feel like dropping off the site for
an extended length of time, we do. After all, it is a volunteer
endeavor. To 'step up' and accept one of the caretaking roles of the
project requires a greater level of commitment than most of us are
willing to take on. From the other side of the process, there is the
challenge of presenting the offer to members. If someone feels that
such is role is not desirable for any reason, you don't want them to
feel any different about the project because they are quite
comfortable contributing as they presently do.
Every page proofed counts at DP. "Preserving History One Page at a
Time" is far more than a catch slogan. From my perspective, which I
have heard echoed by many others, a big part of what makes DP so
important to our age is the openness for an individual to participate
an do something that really matters--even if all they have to spare
are are a few free minutes in a day or week. A larger role in the
daily workings of DP is not for everyone, nor should it be. At the
same time, there is something very special that needs to be said for
and about those who make that commitment to become part of a steady
and sustaining tier of guidance on this project. The promise of future
growth would remain just that, a promise, without an expanded team to
see to the care of its fulfillment.
Through January we witnessed the definition of roles which have long
existed without name yet with great respect for a long time. While
there are thousands of us who proof, a few dozen who manage projects
and a few dozen more who work in post processing, there are but a rare
and special number working in that crucial stage between a completed
text at DP and a posted text at PG. It is quite hard to express in
word the esteem and affection many of us in the PG/DP community hold
for Tonya and David. As wordy as you all know I am, this column will
not be expanded by my efforts to succeed at such an expression. Titles
may not do justice to the depth of their contribution either, but they
are still denoted with a great respect. Post Processing & Verification
Coordinator is a challenge to fit on a door plaque, but a full name
for a full role was essential.
If you have been active in the forums recently, you may have by now
recognized that DP has a new Site Administrator these past weeks;
Pourlean. Now I know she has been testing her wings so far, but as an
supporter for a long time, I am putting a deserved spotlight where it
belongs, on one of DPs hidden assets. My faith in DP's future is
greatly strengthened with such dedicated hands added to the helm.
This brings us to the other important enhancement to DP's management,
the creation of an entirely new branch of navigators. To allow the
Site Administrators more freedom to focus upon ... well
administration, a new role has been created to manage the many and
varied needs of active texts; the Project Facilitators. The work of
the PFs is to assist and expand the powers and labors of the Project
Managers and where need to liaison between proofers and post
processors to assure a greater quality and expediency to the entire
on-site production process. Stepping up to the task of right at the
start are four well known and adored (certainly adored by me) members
of the DP regulars; DMKazoo, Francisca, Papeters and VelkVelk.
Congratulations to the new administrative branch of DP! ... and also
to you Big Bill, I envy you...up there like Apollo on Helicon
surrounded by so many Muses.
Finally then, the third initiative, presently underway, the production
enhancement.We are just weeks away from the open test phase of a new
code foundation, perhaps one of the grandest yet. While I cannot
reveal the details just yet, I can assure you that possibilities for
innovation and extended utility have been well planned and
addressed. The actual coordination for the test phase is closely
associated with the implementation of the new server structure for
DP. The underlying strategy to all of the current initiatives is well
planned coordination. The ground has been secured, the intended
structure mapped out, a well exercised and dedicated set of teams are
in place. From here on out across 2004 what we are going to witness is
steady and impressive growth. You have been a part of this venture
until now, helping to make this very day possible ... stay then, and
help assure the reality of a truly wondrous future.
Speaking of that wondrous future, let's take at the happenings on the
outskirts of the DP Empire, over in Europe. It was just around the
middle of January that an announcement appeared in the forums,
inviting experienced members to sign up over at a whole new, but
different DP to participate in a vigorous pre-test phase of site
establishment and de-bugging. Little by little with each passing day,
more and curious veterans made the pilgrimage. Within a week's time
the results of this collaboration lead DPEU's directors to declare the
project ready for public testing. Today, the idea of archives
associated with, yet distinct of PG utilizing the DP system full scale
is a reality, and an impressive one.
The utilization of the DP code by Project Rastko' alliance of library
archives has illuminated the ground of future possibilities for
expansive implementation. Through the next three weeks of the public
test phase the atmosphere across both sites is certain to be charged
with ideas and inspirations. Having had close involvement with the
initial test phase, what stays with me constantly is a resurgence of
that exciting and kinetic perception of the Web back when Mosaic first
appeared, and all things seemed possible. I can state that I am not at
all alone in this experience. Over the weeks and months ahead, I
believe very strongly that we are going to witness a wide revival of
those idealistic and creatively charged days throughout both sites...
and where better for this spirit of our age to rise again on-line than
within communities allied to Project Gutenberg?
Over 200 members have signed up to help establish DPEU and work out
all the bugs and bumps during the test phase. And these are no mere
onlookers. Long standing members of the Rastko community of archives
side by side with the most prominent figures of Distributed
Proofreaders have rolled up their sleeves and given a strong and
dedicated effort to see that everything comes together for the
best. In the words of Project Rastko's president, Zoran Stefanovic,
"This achievement is far advanced of our initial plans and well above
our highest expectations."
One of the key features incorporated into the DPEU test phase is the
ability to work with texts in the UTF8 character set. This is
essential for the realizing of producing texts in the range of
language groups that the Rastko archives will be processing though
DPEU. Here, to my eyes is the most exciting event to witness each day,
as the projects stands more and more upon its legs; the varied array
of languages entering and moving through the proofing rounds.
The localization of the system is another wonder to watch come to
life.. The personal page, proofing interface and forums are being
translated into Bulgarian, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German,
Italian, Macedonian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Serbian, Spanish,
Swedish, and Ukrainian. Over 40 projects from amongst these languages
are within the system. Some of them are already ready for posting to
PG. The total pages proofed so far is nearing 10,000 ("Ten times more
than expected.")
As the testing period commences I will be participating and staying
close with the directors of the project. Stay close to the newsletter
for all the latest news ... or if you want more--and I hope you do, or
I am falling down on the job--then sign up at http://dp.rastko.net/
is you have not already and be a part of the beginning of something
historic within your own time.
So that was January. As you can see now, the shape of the remaining
months of '04 have already been outlined by these initial
developments. And if you wonder, what might be happening to the 'bread
and butter' work of DP while all this is going on, do not give it
another thought. January was also the most productive proofing month
in DP's history. In the first 31 days of the year, we proofed 224,230
pages together.
Fasten your seat belts, everyone! This ride's just gettin' under way.
Stay then, on into this exciting year, and give from the yearnings of your heart!
The best in ourselves for the world!
The best in the world for ourselves!
Until next week...

3) Notes and Queries, Reviews and Features
Pg A to Z
This week - 'Y'
The second stop on our A to Z journey finds us wandering around the
jungle that is Y. Authors for Y include Yan Zhitui with seven volumes
of Yan Shi Jia Xun written in Chinese. A great many volumes by
W. B. Yeats, see below for more information. Other authors to mention
include C.H. Yarrow, with An Introduction to the mortuary customs of
the North American Indians; Charles Duke and Charlotte Mary Yonge who
between them have 50 books in the Project Gutenberg library. We also
have Filson Young's eight volumes about Christopher Columbus'
discoveries.
In the world of book titles we have many volumes written with
children in mind. Young Canada's Nursery Rhymes; Young Folks' History
Of England; Youth: Its Education, Regimen, and Hygiene to name but
three. Particularly appealing to myself are three volumes about the
countryside just outside my front door: Yorkshire and Yorkshire Coast
& Moorland Scenes by Gordon Home, and Yorkshire Dialect Poems
(1673-1915) and traditional poems by F. W. Moorman.
Also, under 'Y' we have another example of the diversification of
Project Gutenberg - Yiddish. So far we are limited to one audio file:
I. J. Hochman's Yiddisher Orchester, Mazel Tov; so here we include a
note from Keren Vergon - "I have several things I'd like to put
through. My guess is that within the next year I'll have 10-15 books
in Yiddish and as many or more in Hebrew put through DP. At least
that's my goal. I'd love to link up with other PG or DPers who have an
interest in Yiddish and/or Hebrew. There's lots of great stuff out
there waiting for PG; but to go ahead and proof them is a little
difficult if we don't have folks to PP them. It would be great to
gather a team together so that we would know we have a few proofers
and PPers ready to go when DP goes live with UTF8.(See Thierry's post
above for more details)". If you want to contact Keren about helping
with this project, please email: tvergon AT tampabay .rr .com
And finally, Y is for YOU, the volunteer without whom this project
wouldn't be what it is.
W. B. Yeats
William Butler Yeats (1865 - 1939).
Irish poet, dramatist and prose writer, considered to be one of the
greatest English-language poets of the 20th century. Yeats received
the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923 (You can find out more about
this at Project Gutenberg of Australia). In his early career Yeats
studied William Blake's poems, Emanuel Swedenborg's writings and other
visionaries. Later he expressed his disillusionment with the reality
of his native country. A central theme in Yeats's poems is Ireland,
its bitter history, folklore, and contemporary public life.
William Butler Yeats was born in Dublin into an Irish Protestant
family. His early years were spent in London and Sligo, on the west
coast of Ireland. In 1881 the family returned to Dublin. While
studying at the Metropolitan School of Art, Yeats met George
Russell. He was interested in mysticism, and his search inspired also
Yeats. In 1886 Yeats formed the Dublin Lodge of the Hermetic Society
and took the magical name Daemon est Deus Inversus. The occult order
also attracted Aleister Crowley.
As a writer Yeats made his debut in 1885, when he published his first
poems in The Dublin University Review. In 1889 Yeats met his great
love, Maud Gonne (1866-1953), an an actress and Irish revolutionary
who became a major landmark in the poets life and imagination. She
married Major John MacBride in 1903, and this episode inspired Yeats's
poem 'No Second Troy'. MacBride was later executed by the British.
Through Maud's influence Yeats joined the revolutionary organization
Irish Republican Brotherhood. Maud had devoted herself to political
struggle but Keats viewed with suspicion her world full of
intrigues. He was more interested in folktales as a part of an
exploration of national heritage and for the revival of Celtic
identity. His study with George Russell and Douglas Hyde of Irish
legends and tales was published in 1888 under the name Fairy and Folk
Tales of the Irish Peasantry. Yeats assembled for children a less
detailed version, IRIS FAIRY TALES, which appeared in 1892. THE
WANDERINGS OF OISIN AND OTHER POEMS (1889), filled with sad longings,
took its subject from Irish mythology.
In 1896 Yeats reformed the Irish Literary Society, and then the
National Literary Society in Dublin, which aimed to promote the New
Irish Library. Lady Gregory first saw W.B. Yeats in 1894 .Their
relationship started in 1897 and led to the founding of the Irish
Literary Theatre, which became the Irish National Theatre Society and
moved in 1904 into the new Abbey Theatre, named after the Dublin
street in which it stood. Yeats worked as a director of the theater,
writing several plays for it. Another director was the dramatist John
Synge (1871-1909), Yeats's close friend, whose masterpiece The Playboy
of the Western World (1907) was greeted with riots. Yeats's most
famous dramas were CATHLEEN NI HOULIHAN (1902), in which Maud Gonne
gained great acclaim in the title role, and THE LAND OF HEART'S DESIRE
(1894). Yeats did not have in the beginning much confidence in Lady
Gregory's literary skills, but after seeing her translation of the
ancient Irish Cuchulain sagas he changed his mind. Cathleen ni
Houlihan has been cretied to Yeats but now it is considered to be
written by Lady Gregory.
In 1917, he married Georgie Hyde-Lee, who was 26. Although Keats first
had his doubts, the marriage was happy and they had two
children. During their honeymoon Yeats's wife demonstrated her gift
for automatic writing. Their collaborative notebooks formed the basis
of A VISION (1925), a book of marriage therapy spiced with
occultism. A change from suggestive, beautiful lyricism toward the
spare and tragic bitterness was marked in Yeats poem 'September 1913'
in which he stated: "Romantic Ireland's dead and gone."
In 1932 Yeats founded the Irish Academy of Letters and in 1933 he was
briefly involved with the fascist Blueshirts in Dublin. In his final
years Yeats worked on the last version of A VISION, which attempted to
present a theory of the variation of human personality, and published
THE OXFORD BOOK OF VERSE (1936) and NEW POEMS (1938). Yeats died in
1939 at the H�tel Id�al S�jour, in Menton, France.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT FILENAMES: Due to recent security concerns, some
mail servers are still deleting email messages that contain the name of
a certain popular file compression program as the filename extension.
That three-letter word begins with the letter "z". In order to
circumvent this problem, as a temporary measure, we are replacing that
extension with ".000" in the listings below. We hope to have a
permanent solution in the next couple of weeks. Thank you for your

.:: 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/
. . .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:
http://gutenberg.net/etext06/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext06/
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.)
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Note: this listing best viewed with a fixed-width font, such as
Courier New or similar.

172 years ago, on 27 Jan 1832, in Daresbury, Cheshire, England, Lewis Carroll
(Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) was born. In celebration of that event, herewith
a passage from "Alice in Wonderland", Project Gutenberg eBook #11, which, if
you've read this far, may or may not be relevant:
'But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
'Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: 'we're all mad here.
I'm mad. You're mad.'
'How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
'You must be,' said the Cat, 'or you wouldn't have come here.'

.:: 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.

=============================================================================
This week can't pass without mentioning the anniversary of the publication of
"Ulysses" (eBook #4300), by James Joyce, on 2 February 1922; that date also
marked his 40th birthday. But this week's tagline will be a quote from his
wife, Nora Joyce:
"Why don't you write books people can read?"
Other works by this author in the Project Gutenberg collection include #4217
"A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man"; #2817 "Chamber Music"; and #2814
"Dubliners". Wherein may lie a clue as to the accuracy of Nora's remark.
And we shouldn't forget the anniversary of the death of Johannes Gensfleisch
zur Laden zum Gutenberg, some 537 years ago on 3 Feb 1468 (1467?). Without
whom we'd have to find a different name for this project!The Project Gutenberg Weekly Newsletter February 5, 2004

Part 2 of the Project Gutenberg Weekly Newsletter:

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT FILENAMES: Due to recent security concerns, some
mail servers are still deleting email messages that contain the name of
a certain popular file compression program as the filename extension.
That three-letter word begins with the letter "z". In order to
circumvent this problem, as a temporary measure, we are replacing that
extension with ".zip" in the listings below. We hope to have a
permanent solution in the next couple of weeks. Thank you for your
patience.

.:: 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.)
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

This week can't pass without mentioning the anniversary of the publication of
"Ulysses" (eBook #4300), by James Joyce, on 2 February 1922; that date also
marked his 40th birthday. But this week's tagline will be a quote from his
wife, Nora Joyce:
"Why don't you write books people can read?"
Other works by this author in the Project Gutenberg collection include #4217
"A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man"; #2817 "Chamber Music"; and #2814
"Dubliners". Wherein may lie a clue as to the accuracy of Nora's remark.
And we shouldn't forget the anniversary of the death of Johannes Gensfleisch
zur Laden zum Gutenberg, some 537 years ago on 3 Feb 1468 (1467?). Without
whom we'd have to find a different name for this project!

.:: 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/
. . .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:
http://gutenberg.net/etext06/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext06/
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.)

=============================================================================
172 years ago, on 27 Jan 1832, in Daresbury, Cheshire, England, Lewis Carroll
(Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) was born. In celebration of that event, herewith
a passage from "Alice in Wonderland", Project Gutenberg eBook #11, which, if
you've read this far, may or may not be relevant:
'But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
'Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: 'we're all mad here.
I'm mad. You're mad.'
'How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
'You must be,' said the Cat, 'or you wouldn't have come here.'

============= [ 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://gutenberg.net/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.

http://dp.rastko.net/default.php
The official public testing of Distributed Proofreaders Europe began
yesterday, with over one hundred proofers joining during their recent
testing period, a little life is buzzing into DP-EU. If you haven't
made it over there yet, we really recommend it.
A 'To-Do' List
If you're looking for classics to work on for PG, you
can check out the newly updated list at
<http://www.steveharris.net/PGList.htm.>
A lot of books were written before the 1923 copyright deadline. Not too
many are well known today and some are more important than others.
While I want to encourage folks to contribute to Project Gutenberg any
way they can, I thought it might be useful to have a place for those who
are looking for ideas on which books to add.
The list includes almost 2000 entries compiled from the catalogues of
Everyman's Library, Franklin Press' "100 Greatest Books", the Modern
Library, Oxford Classics, and Penguin, as well as
- Bloom's Canon: Harold Bloom's The Western Canon, is one
(knowledgeable and opinionated) man's view of the important literary
books of western culture (from which I have extracted those (about 680)
written through 1900 (more or less); an approximate cut-off date which
is 'safe' for copyright purposes).
- PWBS: This list includes the 294 books from Publisher's Weekly's list
of US Best Sellers from 1900-1923.
Of the almost 2000 total entries, almost 1100 are already in Project
Gutenberg, PG Australia or are "In Progress".
About 260 still seem to be under US copyright (listed as "UC" (sometimes
with date)).
About 310 do not appear to have any etext version and are separately
listed in the "Not Found" list.
About 325 are available from etext sources other than Gutenberg.
This represents an increase of over 150 new or in progress Project
Gutenberg etexts and a reduction of more than 140 in the "Not Found"
List since July, 2003.

Food for thought
CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE APPROVES DATABASE BILL
The House Judiciary committee yesterday approved a
controversial database protection bill. Supported by
database companies such as Reed Elsevier and opposed by
companies such as Amazon.com, Google, and Yahoo!, the bill
would allow a database owner to sue in civil court "any
person who makes available in commerce to others a
quantitatively substantial part of the information in a
database". Bill at

GETTING A COPY OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG DVD OR CD
We would prefer you download the CD or DVD image, as described below.
But if you would like a copy, we will send you a copy in the mail free
of charge (you can make a donation to offset our costs: visit
http://gutenberg.net/donate.shtml). When possible, we will send you
TWO copies, so you can give one away.
You can buy a copy of the CD from this site (a portion of all proceeds
go to Project Gutenberg):
http://supporttech.home.comcast.net/projgut.htm
You could also use a CD or DVD burner to copy the disc we send.
To receive a CD or DVD:
email your name and postal address
specify whether you want a CD or DVD
send to: "cd@pglaf.org"
We'll respond to let you know we got your message, and will send a CD
or DVD as soon as we can. Since the CDs and DVDs are produced by
volunteers (using their home computers), we cannot guarantee fast
delivery. Discs are sent via USPS or other inexpensive method.
Generally, the discs are hand-labeled and will arrive in a simple wrapper.
We will send them to you at any address, worldwide. We do not
have a program in place to send discs to other people on your behalf,
but are working on such a program for the future.
DOWNLOADING IMAGES FOR THE PROJECT GUTENBERG DVD AND CD
You can download these CD and DVD ISO images freely, and you are
encouraged to give away copies. See the details on the CD/DVD project
page for limitations on commercial use.
Start here for description, links to the ISO images, and checksums.
http://gutenberg.net/cdproject
The ISO format is a single large file. CD/DVD burning software can
write the file to a CD or DVD, which can then be read in any computer
with a CD or DVD reader. You need a drive that can write and a blank
disc to write the ISO images. These files are large, so not suitable
for download over a modem or other slow connection.
*** The DVD: About 9400 of our first 10,000 eBooks (none of the PG of
Australia eBooks are included due to copyright, and the audio eBooks
and human genome are left out due to size):
You can download the Project Gutenberg DVD image directly from these

3) Notes and Queries, Reviews and Features
PG A to Z
Yes, we start another new column this week, that will encompass
several of our others as we go past. We realise that perhaps, we might
not catch everything PG related as we go past any particular letter so
feel free to contribute suggestions and we may well go back and cover
that letter again. Now where to start, A of course, A is for
Alice. Hmm, very convienient. Well, we are not typical here at the
newsletter (you may have noticed), so we dare to be different.
'Z'
Z is for Zoran Stefanovic, co-ordinator of DP-EU and Project Rastko. Z
in the PG author list turns up several Chinese volumes by authors such
as Zhang Chao, Zhang Ni and Zhu Xi. There is also a volume on
aeroplanes by James Slough Zerbe. The introduction states that the
book isn't about the exploits of aviators nor a history of flying, but
is in fact 'a book of instructions intended to point out the theories
of flying, as given by the pioneers, the practical application of
power to the various flying structures; how they are built, the
different methods of controlling them; the advantages and
disadvantages of the types now in use; and suggestions as to the
directions in which improvements are required.' Possibly, if you desire
to build your own flying machine, this is the book with which to
begin. Z also includes Emile Zola, more on whom below.
Z for book titles includes Zanoni and Zicci both Edward Bulwer Lytton,
Zone Policeman 88; a close range study of the Panama canal and its
workers by Harry Alverson Franck.
Finally, Zen And The Art Of The Internet by Brendan P Kehoe,
published in 1992. Two particular pieces caught my eye.
'One warning is perhaps in order---this territory we are entering can
become a fantastic time-sink. Hours can slip by, people can come and
go, and you'll be locked into Cyberspace. Remember to do your work!'
'You have at your fingertips the ability to talk in ``real-time'' with
someone in Japan, send a 2,000-word short story to a group of people
who will critique it for the sheer pleasure of doing so, see if a
Macintosh sitting in a lab in Canada is turned on, and find out if
someone happens to be sitting in front of their computer (logged on)
in Australia, all inside of thirty minutes. No airline (or tardis,
for that matter) could ever match that travel itinerary.'
The ability to see into the future and see Distributed Proofreaders,
now that's impressive!
Emile Zola, French novelist and critic, the founder of naturalist
movement in literature. Emile Zola was born in Paris. His father was an
Italian engineer, who had French citizenship in 1862. Zola spent
his childhood in Aix-en-Provence, southeast France. When he was seven,
his father died, leaving the family with money problems - his mother
was largely dependent on a tiny pension. In 1858 Zola moved with his
mother to Paris. During his formative years Zola wrote several short
stories and essays, 4 plays and 3 novels. Among his early books was
CONTES Á NINON, which was published in 1864. When his sordid
autobiographical novel LA CONFESSION DE CLAUDE (1865) was published
and attracted the attention of the police, Zola was fired from his job.
After his first major novel, THÉRÈSE RAQUIN (1867), Zola started the
long series called Les Rougon Macquart, the natural and social history
of a family under the Second Empire. "I want to portray, at the outset
of a century of liberty and truth, a family that cannot restrain
itself in its rush to possess all the good things that progress is
making available and is derailed by its own momentum, the fatal
convulsions that accompany the birth of a new world." The family had
two branches - the Rougons were small shopkeepers and petty bourgeois,
and the Marquarts were poachers and smugglers and they had problems
with alcohol. Some members of the family would rise during the story
to the highest levels of the society, some would fall as victims of
social evils and heredity. Zola presented the idea to his publisher in
1868. At first the plan was limited to 10 books, but ultimately the series
comprised 20 volumes, ranging in subject from the world of peasants
and workers to the imperial court. Zola prepared his novels
carefully, he interviewed experts, wrote thick dossiers based on his
research, and outlined the action of each chapter.
In 1885 Zola published one of his finest works, GERMINAL. It was first
major work on a strike, based on his research notes on labor
conditions in the coal mines. The book was attacked by right-wing
political groups as a call to revolution. NANA (1880), another famous
work of the author, took the reader to the world of sexual
exploitation. Zola's tetralogy, LES QUATRE EVANGILES, which started
from FÉCONDITÉ (1899), was left unfinished.
Zola died on September 28, in 1902, under mysterious
circumstances, overcame by carbon monoxide fumes in his
sleep. According to some speculations, Zola's enemies blocked the
chimney of his apartment, causing poisonous fumes to build up and kill
him. At Zola's funeral Anatole France declared. 'He was a moment of
the human conscience.' In 1908 Zola's remains were transported to the
Panthéon. Naturalism as a literary movement fell out of favor after
Zola's death, but his integrity influenced deeply such writers as
Theodore Dreiser, August Strindberg and Emilia Pardo-Bazan.
United Press International: Project Gutenberg 's anabasis
By Sam Vaknin UPI Business Correspondent
Published 1/7/2004 12:37 PM
Last October, Project Gutenberg -- the Web's first and largest online
library of free electronic books -- released a long-awaited DVD
containing close to 10,000 of its titles. Since then, another 1000
texts were added to its burgeoning archives. The Project has also
spawned numerous other Web sites. Some of them, such as Blackmask,
offer free downloads and sell their own DVD with mostly Project
Gutenberg eBooks in multiple formats. Others provide free browsers and
library applications specific to PG's content.
The man behind the Project -- and, to many, the man who was the inventor
of the proto eBook in 1971 -- is Michael Hart.
Always amenable to preaching the gospel of free content and its
benefits, he spoke with United Press International about Project
Gutenberg's recent progress. Hart was joined by Greg Newby, chief
executive officer of the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation.
Q. In October 2003, you set a new target for Project Gutenberg of one
million free eBook by the year 2015. Are there so many books in the
public domain? And what then?
Michael: Archimedes said, "give me a lever long enough, and I will move the
world." Project Gutenberg (gutenberg.net) is just such a lever,
enabling a single person to create something of immense value that is
made available to millions of people. If we have reached a mere 1.5
percent of the world's population, we have already given away a
trillion eBooks.
Project Gutenberg is a grass roots operation, never having had real
funding or grants. For 30 years people said that we won't be around
next year. When we started to get close to 10,000 eBooks, they finally
stopped. There are lots of pretend eBook operations, but none of them
produce all of their eBooks themselves, or have 10,000 of their own
eBooks that can be read by virtually any text reader and word processor.
The next big step, after we have reached a million eBooks, will be to
translate each of them into as many as 100 languages, thus making them
available to an even larger audience. Regarding the number of titles
in the public domain, during the 20th Century, there were many years
in which over 50,000 books were published and the rate has been
increasing throughout. Certainly there were a million titles published
before 1923 that we can get our hands on, not to mention non-book
items such as newspapers, magazines, brochures and advertisements,
court records and other government documents, unpublished manuscripts
and diaries, music, film, photographs, audio, and other art forms.
Greg: My calculation, based on the U.S. Library of Congress' copyright
renewal records, is that there are about 1 million books published
from 1923 - 1964 that are demonstrably in the public domain. We are
seeking to "discover" these items. The copyrights of only 10 percent
of all published items are ever renewed.
Q. Libraries on CD-ROMs are at least a decade old. Why did Project
Gutenberg wait until now to issue its own DVD?
Michael: Because there was always someone out there willing to do it
for us. Because CD burners and DVD burners finally got so cost
effective that we could afford to give away this kind of
media. Because today you can't buy a computer off the shelf without a
DVD drive. Until now, physical media could not compete on a cost
effective basis with Internet downloads.
Greg: We have some volunteers willing to create CD and DVD images and
we now distribute them. But we hope to find many other channels to
distribute our content for free or for a small fee.
Q. Why don't simple scans or raw OCR (optical character recognition)
output qualify as eBooks? What is the technological future of eBooks
-- is it Machine Translation and, if yes, why?
Michael: Book scanning is outsourced half way across the world and the
results are shoddy and often cannot be used as input for OCR programs,
to create a text file, for instance. In contrast, once a true eBook is
created, it has more value than a paper copy, because it can be copied
ad infinitum, sent all over the world, even to a billion readers, and
can be the basis for hundreds of new paper and eBook editions, all at
virtually no cost. Moreover, people are not interested in scans. Some
Project Gutenberg sites each hand out 10 million eBooks per year -
impossible with scanned images or full text eBooks due to their
bandwidth-consuming oversize. The "scanners" want to be the only
source for "their" books, even when those books are in the public
domain - and are willing to claim copyright on the public domain works
of Project Gutenberg in the process. They deny themselves true access
to the public.
Our Unlimited Distribution Model calls for everyone to
have a library of 10,000 eBooks, stored on a single DVD that costs
only $1. People find this appealing. There are perhaps 10,000
volunteers to create our kind of ebooks - against only a few hundred
people, all paid, working to create libraries of scans. Additionally,
the huge scan files hold just a single book, are not searchable,
cannot be copied, indexed, or cited by off the shelf applications,
typos can't be corrected, and are not truly portable due to their size.
Project Gutenberg eBooks can be read in any manner the reader chooses
-- favorite fonts, margination, number of lines per page can all be --
-- modified. The reader becomes his or her own publisher. People with --
-- disabilities can use a speech engine to read the texts aloud. The --
-- visually challenged can change the font size. This is impossible to --
-- do with scans. With CD burners available for under $15, and DVD --
-- burners for $100, with blank media so cheap -- the cost of
individual books becomes literally "too cheap to meter." And that is
the whole point of the Project Gutenberg eBook library.
Greg: eBooks are editable and suitable for creating derivative
works. They are not intended to be a depiction of a printed artifact,
but a direct means of experiencing the author's writing. Today's best
OCR still makes (on average) several errors per page of text, and
requires human intervention to handle things like page headings and
footnotes. We plan to make PG's eBooks easily transformable among
different digital formats - XML, HTML, PDF, Braille, audiobooks, TeX,
RTF and others. Features such as fonts, or background colors will be
selectable. Machine translation (MT) will be another of these
"formats", but it is currently technologically premature and
immature. In cooperation with partner organizations in Europe and
elsewhere, we hope to help to develop better MT software. We are
supporting a project in Europe to augment MT with human translation,
much as today's OCR must be helped by human proofreaders to achieve a
low error rate.

Thanks this week to Brett and George for the numbers and the
booklists. Thierry, Joel, Greg, Michael and Larry Wall. Entertainment for
the workers provided as usual by BBC 6Music and Andrew Collins. Happy
anniversary to me. Typically working in a virtual office full of
men, no-one but me noticed that I've been around for a year doing
newsletters. No chocolates, no flowers - not even a picture of a
flower, they didn't even offer to make me a coffee, they probably all
think it's not important. Well, now I'm off to proof-read a book at DP
where I started, oh, and have a frosty drink. Happy anniversary readers.
