Editorial
Hello,
Ah, here we are another year older and hopefully, another year
wiser. The end of the production year rolls into view and expect more
from Michael on that later in the week. At this time of year people
seem to do predictions, I don't think I dare at the moment, given the
way that targets and predictions seem to disappear at an ever
increasing rate.
Have a great week.
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:
http://beryl.ils.unc.edu/copy.html
You'll hear back within a few days.

3) Notes and Queries, Reviews and Features
'Simple but smashing laughter of the best tales of Mr. W. W. Jacobs'
- Cockneys and their Jokes, G. K. Chesterton
The gloria mundi not only transits but also does some unexpected
twists. The old debauchee-captains, mates in love and resourceful
ship's boys are now almost forgotten, smashed by old scary monkey
paw. And who was once told to represent 'the return of great comic
classics', now deserves one line on the hyperdictionary.com 'English
writer of macabre short stories (1863-1943)' and his books are listed
in the division of horrors. Actually, it fits perfectly to Mr. Jacobs
narrative's style. Almost always twisted at the end, elaborated pieces
of craftsmanship are they, the short stories about turmoils and
affairs of the people dwelling around Thames.
Funny, but besides the sacramental numbers 1863 - 1943 not much info
about this writer can be found in the cobweb-threads, only plaintive
cries for help from those who has to write a school essay about this
once extremely popular author. OK, here is what could be found after
painstaking scraping:
Mister William Wymark Jacobs was born on September 8, 1863 in the
humble house of wharf manager, that was located on the wharf itself in
the docs of Wapping in London. Surely the modesty is a relative thing
and for the most of the seafarers the manager's house was a symbol of
wealth and prosperity. The young Jacobs has got an education in
private schools - small business-like institutions run by an
entrepreneurial proprietor. Opposite to the expensive 'public' schools
for upper classes. After finishing his education at the age of 16,
William took a position as a clerk in Post Office Savings Bank. O, my
after real life of docs, boats and sea journeys during not too
demanding school times, the work as a small clerk was chocking. He
hated this 'captivity' passionately and dreamed about freedom. And
naturally he started to write, creating his own world based on his
limited but colorful experiences. Seafaring adventures without pirates
or big proud galleons, sailing journeys to the nearest river doc,
funny somewhat awkward love affairs of bargemen and dockworkers ? poor
but sympathetic life of the simple people around him. Since 1885 he
started to publish his works in minor magazines, but his first
collection of the short stories 'Many Cargoes' was published only in
the year 1896 (http://gutenberg.net/etext04/mncrg10.txt). For the
person who grew up in the world where earning bread was inexplicitly
by the sweat of one's brow, was very hard to believe that he may draw
his wage from something so ephemeral as writing the stories. So he
allowed to himself to leave his hated post at the Savings Bank only in
1898 after publishing his third collection 'Sea Urchins', that was
also published at the same time in New York as 'More Cargoes' (an
American publisher decided probably to show the connection with first
success more clearly ?). At this time he was already a known and
successful writer, who's works appeared in Jerome K. Jerome's Idle and
To-Day and even accepted in the Strand - the most prestigious fiction
magazine at that time. At the year 1900 he took even more unusual step
and married socialist and suffragette Agnes Eleanor
Williams. According to the rumors their alliance was not perfect.. The
conservative, careful and even little bit pessimistic William was
scarcely a real friend of energetic suffragist that wanted to change
this old world for good. If to apply Freud theory and to analyze his
stories, however, he was ready and accustomed for the confrontational
manner of the male-female relationships. In most of his novel about
married life a woman is demanding and a man tries to avoid fulfilling
her demands as peaceful as possible ? a good example is
http://gutenberg.net/1/0/5/6/10561/10561.txt . In any case Agnes and
William stayed together and even raised four children ? two boys and
two girls. Since 1916 Jacobs writes little and more adapting his old
stories into short plays. He died popular in London nursing house at
the age of eighty the middle of WW2.
And for the summery and discussion part - David Widger is now loading
the collection 'Ship's company' to PG - it will be nice to read
them. Even with not much of intellectual curiosity as snobbishly
said once about the author Arnold Bennet, Jacobs' stories are
enjoyable and perfectly done like a home-made soup of Grandma. So
hopefully the curse of Monkey Paw will be cleared off, and in the
future the writer will take his honorable place somewhere nearby
O'Henry and old Jerome in the long internet reference lists.
There is another collection already on PG:
http://gutenberg.net/etext04/shrcs10.txt, and for those who reads in
Russian http://abssf.narod.ru/st-cap.htm. In web you can find plenty
of terrifying camp-story versions, so if you like to be scared to
death you can help yourself and search for 'Monkey Paw'. That it is
more or less,
Sweet reading to all of you,
Gali

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.)

.:: 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.)

.:: 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 and author; 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.)

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:
http://beryl.ils.unc.edu/copy.html
You'll hear back within a few days.
2) News and Comment
To tell the truth, we are a bit short on news this week. However, I
can report that Distributed Proofreaders has successfully negotiated
it's way through a server move and the disruption it was suffering
seems to have gone away. There are a couple of threads in the forums
for Proofers to record their memories of 2003 which has turned into DP's
most successful year to date, and to note predictions and hopes for
2004. All contributions are welcome, and I suspect there may be just a
small party happening out there tonight.

3) Notes and Queries, Reviews and Features
Following last weeks article about Folkden recordings, Gali takes a
look at what else is out there for interested souls.
The embroidered in silk and beadings sarafan or old wool rug in
arabesques do not have a signature of a self-centered genius, however
their impersonal pattern still touches and warms our souls and homes,
being sometimes ridiculously misused, though. As the embellished
bridle is hanging on the wall, or the wedding-vessel holds the
pencils. And same for the old folk songs - even taken out of their
context, they still sound good to our modern ear. They never come from
the mind, so there is no complicated constructions or ambitious
attempts, they are more like an embodied emotion. That is, one single
emotion expressed on the proper occasion. And as to fully appreciate
Bedouin clothing you should ride a camel under cruel desert sun, to
understand the real value of the wild rider song, you should probably
get a horse and at least few kilometers of the free ride. But we are
listening to the passionate cante jondo without desire to love and
kill; in the middle of crowded town, Slavic songs bring us the feeling
of 'black' unbearable anguish in the waste space of earth with no soul
on it, or Celtic melodies evoke a sense of fight and hidden fire
under the cloudy northern skies, when we come back home from our very
prosaic job. We are consuming pure emotions embedded in the old chip
of simple melody and naïve words. In some sense it is an emotional
dope. May be this is why people can not actually listen to folk music
for long time in a row - it becomes an overdose.
All the above is implied 10 times stronger to the performers not
saying about composers. The professional passion or artificial irony
kills this fragile construction as careless touch destroys Buddhists'
sand pictures. Annoying and boring are the attempts of imitation and
very rarely the rearrangement is as good as original. And even when we
come to later urban folk music, the most successful examples are
created by anonymous, honestly drinking in the smelly pubs and
courting witty serving girls, and expressing in their verses not
personified feeling of a human being in certain situation. No
ego-reflections or back thoughts permitted in the real folk. The
successful stylizations such as Turlough O'Carolan, are good because
they little in common with the real folk music, filling its simple
form with the complicated content, as in the expensive restaurant it
is perversely delightful to have complex dish in the rough rural
plate. The folk song is very reach theme for a research and many smart
and talented written long interesting lines about it ? Frederico
Garcia Lorca, Jorge Borhes, K.Balmont and many others. But these notes
are serving only one simple purpose ? to evoke an interest to the
theme in you, dear reader, so you will find what folk music is for
yourself and highly probably that you will completely disagree with
all what is written above. Which will mean that my goal was achieved
and one more little piece of the great puzzle has come to its place in
your world.
Some useful links:
http://www.elyrics.net/songs/c/Celtic_Folk/ - mp3 downloads
http://www.contemplator.com/folk.html - plenty of texts and midi files
for England, Ireland, Scotland and America folk music
http://www.empireclubfoundation.com/details.asp?SpeechID=2470&FT=yes -
speech about Folk Songs in French Canada by Barbeau, Marius in 1929
with somewhat interesting examples in two languages.
Unfortunately I could not find any site for free downloading of
Spanish, Georgian or Bulgarian folk music - that I personally like
very much. Maybe some of you will have more success.

============= [ 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
Roger McGuinn's Folkden Recordings
Coming through to Project Gutenberg this week are a series of
recordings first started in 1997 by Roger McGuinn. Roger has set up a
website on ibiblio where he gives away one new song a month. Actually,
when we say new, we mean old. Roger's intention is to help preserve
traditional folksong by giving away traditional tunes and new songs
developed in the folk tradition. On the website Roger explains how the
songs are recorded for internet use. He also includes the songwords
and guitar chords and tuning, so that you can sing and play the songs
yourself, and thereby help to keep the folk tradition alive.
The folkden website is at www.ibiblio.org/jimmy/folkden/index.html
and the songs are available for download as audio files from Project
Gutenberg.

How much have we given away?
Only a few years ago, we received the first report
that one of our Project Gutenberg sites had given
away a million eBooks in a single year.
Just now I received a note that says gutenberg.net
will likely hand out over TEN million eBooks in the
coming year.
gutenberg.net is a VERY noise-free site, with only
about 2.6 hits taken to generate each downloaded book!
More details on request.

GLOBAL INTERNET USE LIMITED BY LANGUAGE, ILLITERACY
According to the International Telecommunication Union, about 70% of the
world's Internet users live in countries that make up only 16% of the
world's population. To address the problem of population illiteracy,
South Africa is developing speech recognition, text-to-speech and
other voice technologies, starting with Zulu. Bulgaria, South Korea
are amongst many countries producing government sites in native
languages. The Canadian government is looking at adapting its
internal search engine to include materials in Inuktitut, the Inuit
language, as well as French and English.

NORWEGIAN APPEALS COURT UPHOLDS ACQUITTAL
A Norwegian appeals court has upheld a lower court ruling acquitting
Jon Johansen of copyright violations. The seven-judge panel agreed
unanimously that Johansen did not violate copyright laws of Norway when
he broke the encryption for DVDs and then posted his code on the
Internet for others to use. The appeals court ruled that under
Norwegian law, circumventing the copy-protection mechanism to make
personal copies of legally purchased DVDs is acceptable, even more so
than making copies of a book would be since DVDs can become scratched
and unusable. Prosecutors have two weeks to decide if they will appeal
the case to Norway's supreme court.

Project Gutenberg and Plucker
A PDA always seemed an unnecessary gadget which I would never need,
until I went camping with Lord Jim. Now Conrad and other great books
from Project Gutenberg have made my Palm PDA totally indispensable; I
really can't imagine being without it, and if I leave the house or
office without it I feel as if I've lost a friend.
I use a Palm IIIxe, which is getting antique, but with a PC-connecting
cradle it costs about $50 on EBay, runs for three weeks on two AAA
batteries, and has 8 Mb of RAM so can hold a good number of
ebooks. For example my pocket library today includes: Daniel Deronda
(PG), Three Men in a Boat (PG), The Magic Door (PG), Emma (PG), Pepys'
Diary 1660 (PG), Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom (Doctorow), and
several technical books.
Although holding a book is more pleasurable than holding a PDA, there
are compensations, such as being able to read in the dark using the
PDA backlight (which doesn't wake my wife, and is excellent for
camping); and being able to carry a dozen or more ebooks in my shirt
pocket. At first I imagined that the small screen size would make for
difficulties, but my experience has been that the Palm is just another
Magic Door.
There are many ebook readers for the Palm, but my favorite is Plucker,
a free, open-source reader that includes the tool to make your
ebooks. Plucker is a free download (though the developers appreciate
any monetary encouragement you can give) from
http://www.plkr.org/index.plkr
The Plucker web site has a link to a helpful online mailing list for
any questions.
Plucker is designed to be an offline reader for HTML, so can be used
for downloading and viewing Web pages as well as for reading
ebooks. This has a slight disadvantage that Project Gutenberg texts
need to be converted to HTML before Plucker can use them, but it can
be a simple single-step process, and has already been done for many PG
texts. Using HTML as input is also an advantage, because it allows
book layout to be preserved, and chapters to be accessed directly. (In
other ebook readers it may be necessary to page through the whole text
to reach a given chapter.)
I have avoided using most of the commercial ebook readers (which
usually incorporate digital rights management,) so it's possible that
there may be good products among them, if you don't mind being locked
in.
Beyond Project Gutenberg, sources for Plucker ebooks are easy to find
using Google. The University of Adelaide Library Ebook Collection at
http://etext.library.adelaide.edu.au/ has a good set of PG texts
converted to HTML which Plucker can easily "pluck" directly.

3) Notes and Queries, Reviews and Features
Newsletter Cookery Club
This week we are focusing on festive drinks. All the recipes below are
drawn from the 1837 Directions for Cookery, in its Various Branches,
by Eliza Leslie
[http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext05/8cook10.txt].
The preface of this cookery book notes:
"The success of her little book entitled "Seventy-five Receipts in
Cakes, Pastry, and Sweetmeats." has encouraged the author to attempt a
larger and more miscellaneous work on the subject of cookery,
comprising as far as practicable whatever is most useful in its
various departments; and particularly adapted to the domestic economy
of her own country. Designing it as a manual of American housewifery,
she has avoided the insertion of any dishes
whose ingredients cannot be procured on our side of the Atlantic, and
which require for their preparation utensils that are rarely found
except in Europe. Also, she has omitted every thing which may not, by
the generality of tastes, be considered good of its kind, and well
worth the trouble and cost of preparing."
This text includes numerous recipes for beverages, including the
following selections:
EGG NOGG.
Beat separately the yolks and whites of six eggs. Stir the yolks into
a quart of rich milk, or thin cream, and add half a pound of
sugar. Then mix in half a pint of rum or brandy. Flavour it with a
grated nutmeg. Lastly, stir in gently the beaten white of an egg.
It should be mixed in a china bowl.
MULLED WINE.
Boil together in a pint of water two beaten nutmegs, a handful of
broken cinnamon, and a handful of cloves slightly pounded. When the
liquid is reduced to one half, strain it into a quart of port wine,
which must be set on hot coals, and taken off as soon as it comes to a
boil. Serve it up hot in a pitcher with little glass cups round it,
and a plate of fresh rusk.
PUNCH.
Roll twelve fine lemons under your hand on the table; then pare off
the yellow rind very thin, and boil it in a gallon of water till all
the flavour is drawn out. Break up into a large bowl, two pounds of
loaf-sugar, and squeeze the lemons over it. When the water has boiled
sufficiently, strain it from the lemon-peel, and mix it with the lemon
juice and sugar. Stir in a quart of rum or of the best whiskey.
And as a non-alcoholic choice, we offer the author's instructions on how
TO MAKE CHOCOLATE
To each square of a chocolate cake allow three jills, or a chocolate
cup and a half of boiling water. Scrape down the
chocolate with a knife, and mix it first to a paste with a small
quantity of the hot water; just enough to melt it in. Then put it into
a block tin pot with the remainder of the water; set it on hot coals;
cover it, and let it boil (stirring it twice) till the liquid is one
third reduced. Supply that third with cream or rich milk; stir it
again, and take it off the fire. Serve it up as hot as possible, with
dry toast, or dry rusk. It chills immediately. If you wish it frothed,
pour it into the cup, and twirl round in it the little wooden
instrument called a chocolate mill, till you have covered the top with
foam.

Project Gutenberg eBook, Two Centuries of Costume in America by Alice
Morse Earle
This is a book first posted to the PG Archive in November. It comes in
fourteen volumes and on the fascinating scale it hits a big ten. The
first volume is the explanation for the illustrations in the other
volumes giving the background and context for the illustrations
themselves as well as the costumes portrayed. Now, when it comes to
this kind of thing in museums, I am usually the person at the back
being Bart Simpson, you know, looking in the things you're not
supposed to touch and generally goofing around. This set of books
though is in a different realm, it really is interesting to see how
people used to dress and why. You can find the book at
http://www.gutenberg.net/1/0/1/1/10115/10115-h/10115-h.htm#I
I think this is one case where the HTML version is essential.

Who to thank this week?
Well, everyone of course. Brett, George, Joe, Greg, Michael, and
everyone who chips in volunteering with the stuff that keeps the
wheels of PG turning. Everyone here at the newsletter, Gali, Tonya,
Brett, George, Thierry, me and Suzy the newsletter cat. All those
people who have sent in suggestions this year and have programmed
stuff to help me out. The nice people who provide entertainment as we
type, which includes a couple of CD collections and BBC Radio,
particularly BBC 6Music which is available via the internet and well
worth listening to (this isn't advertising as I have paid my licence
fee), Roger McGuinn and everyone else who has donated something to PG
this year. 'And anyone else who knows me'
Here's hoping you have a pleasant holiday.

============= [ 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
San Francisco Meeting Round-up
Everyone seems to be agreed that the get together last week in San
Francisco was a massive success, with many PGers getting together to
finally find out what they all look like and to talk PG, DP and many
other issues.
Highlights included giving away free CDs and DVDs, over 2 million
ebooks every night. There were presentations by Greg Newby and Michael
Hart, and recognition for the work of many Distributed Proofreaders
who have worked on the Copyright Renewals, more on that from Thierry
below. You can read Greg's report about the conference at
http://pglaf.org/conference-notes.txt. There are many issues raised
towards the bottom of Greg's notes that we at PG will need to address
in the future and that will form the new road map of where we want to
go. I hope to raise some of this discussion in the newsletter.

Project Gutenberg CD's and DVD's
We've received a slew of inquiries since the TV coverage
on The Screen Savers on Tech TV last Monday. People want to know where
they can geta PG CD or DVD.
-------- PG CD HOWTO
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 could also use a CD or DVD burner to copy the disc we send.
To receive a CD or DVD:
email your name and 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.
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.
For both, 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):

News Roundup and Requests for Help and Assistance
For all those Portuguese readers out there, we have a new volunteer that
offered to coordinate and help anyone that wants to work on Portuguese
eBooks for Project Gutenberg. His name is Joao Neves and you can get in
touch with him at gutenberg@silvaneves.org.
If you don't have a specific book to work on, take a look first at
Distributed Proofreaders <http://www.pgdp.net/>. There are three
Portuguese eBooks on the first round, one in the second and two in
post-processing. We have the National Library of Portugal as a source of
eBooks, so how many eBooks and which books we choose is up to us.

A small note from Michael Hart
I've been reading.
What's so strange about THAT?
After all, I do eBooks for a living.
Well. . .it's not just WHAT I've been reading,
it's also HOW it is printed. . .with ligatures
all over the place to make it hard to OCR/scan.
Not to mention, that is says eBooks will never
get off the ground. . . .

Distributed Proofreaders Update for December 17, 2003
If you are reading this without your favorite beverage, stop right now
and go correct that situation. . . . Go on! This week we have a
smorgasbord of newsworthy topics to cover and if you care enough about
PG to be reading this newsletter at all, then I promise you an
interesting, little diversion for the DP segment this week. So go get
a big mug of coffee or tea, maybe a Guinness, whatever oils your
works. I'll be right here waiting when you get back.
Today, December 17th, we mark the 100th anniversary of the moment when a dream
of great significance was realized. A century ago two brothers with a
vibrant vision and a healthy dose of ingenuity set humanity free from
exile on the planet's surface. It is easy to conjecture that the
desire to fly as freely as the birds must follow our race down to the
earliest days of existence. Once it was clear that we could do more
than float up in a balloon, subject to the winds--that we could be
master in the air--the future of Humanity changed forever. A mere 66
years later, the flight that began on a little hill in North Carolina
reached all the way to the moon. 100 years on and our visions now look
to the unlimited vastness of the Universe itself.
When I logged into DP earlier, after several days away, I smiled
broadly to see these words greeting me on my return:
"Today we are celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Wright
brothers' first flight with some specially selected 'aviation'
material. Come fly with us!"
I smiled as I thought that if there ever was an appropriate slogan for
recruiting new supporters to the vision of Project Gutenberg, this was
it: "Come fly with us!"
All dreams are 'lofty' things. Out of the airy invisible, a rare
individual plucks an intangible idea as it floats by like a
feather. It is a simple truth that we owe everything we are today on
this earth to the rare breed of people who we call "dreamers." Go
ahead and try to touch anything in the room around you, including the
room itself, that was not once an idea in the mind of one
individual. That is who we are and that is how we make things on this
world. Do not let anyone ever tell you different, dreaming is a
wonderful occupation.
One day we may very well travel to other star systems, and on that
journey will be two spirits who on this day 100 years ago raised
humanity's aim above and beyond. As I reflected on that thought
earlier, I smiled broader still to realize that it was in this
potential future that our work in these projects is directly connected
to that day at Kitty Hawk. When our childrens' children take off
towards other worlds, it is a certainty that they will be bringing
legacies from home with them. Legacies that will survive to their
generations partly because of the work we do in the present.
What Michael Hart began thirty years ago, with the words: "We hold
these truths to be self evident..." has taken a trajectory not
dissimilar to that of the Wright brothers. More than 10,000 works have
followed the Declaration of Independence, and in years to come that
number will eventually reach 1,000,000.
Come fly with us! Yes, how appropriate indeed!
This is a good to look back upon the Gutenberg journey and forward to
the future. Over the past 48 hours those who gathered together in
California have returned home and begun settling back into their daily
routines. It is a safe bet that no one who participated in the
meetings and discussions of the past several days is quite the same as
they were a week ago. We are distributed throughout the world, and we
get a great deal accomplished that way. However the infusion of
energy, innovation and inspiration that is generated by face to face
interaction in real time adds a whole new level of dynamism to our
collective efforts.
You have been and will continue to read accounts from those who were
there. I was not at the meetings, so my scope of intention will remain
with providing the news items of the events for you. One of 'flash'
items from the conference was the recognition of the significance of
the completion of the Copyright Renewals. If you have been with DP
more than a couple of months then you know what a 'piece of work'
these projects were to complete. Working from the trenches of the
proofing rounds, you may not be aware of the incredible worth of these
dry manifests. They are nothing short of golden in their value to the
public domain. In time we will look back and say: "Yes, I was there,
I worked on the renewals." And we will say it with deep pride.
One person who has provided material recognition of the present worth of
the Copyright Renewals is Brewster Kahle. To commemorate the successful
completion of DP's work on the CR's, Brewster kept a promise to donate
$10,000.00 to Project Gutenberg. Now 10K certainly does not alter the
destiny of PG. It is a significant gesture and a contribution that
proofers at DP can feel a true part of. Through the Internet Archive,
Brewster has long been a supporter of PG and DP. He also provided a
variety of support to see to the success of this week's conference.
When the CRs are incorporated into a searchable database they will
serve to verify the eligibility of thousands of publications for the
public domain. This is task is so tedious at present as to be nearly
unworthy of the effort involved. The easy availability of the
Copyright Renewals will change that forever, thus making available an
immeasurable wealth of cultural and historic content to the whole
world. On behalf of all who this accomplishment eventually touches,
let me voice a sincere and profound appreciation to all those who
worked on the many stages of the CR project!
What the conference provided on the whole, was the chance for many
people to get down to some serious discussion of the present state,
future directions and possible strategies for PG and all affiliated
projects. Topics included; sustaining and increasing the participation
levels of volunteers; innovations to the cataloguing system for the PG
library; initiation of an image library; increase of support to the
readers of e-books; incorporation of XML and the future availability
of format on demand features of PG titles; community development among
the readership; derivative content developments from existing texts
and much more.
Whether these all come to be and in what manner and time frame will be the
topic of future discussions and conferences on-line and off. As I
discuss these topics with those who were out in California, I will
share more details with you here in the weeks ahead. I know that many
people reading this will wish they could have been out there at the
conference. If it is any conciliation, I share your
feelings. But... let us remember what we are celebrating at DP in
December... the conclusion of what is surely the most productive and
successful year in the project's history, and the coming of what
promises to be the year which will--far and wide--supplant that title.
We have shared the journey through this wonderful year together and
have given the best of our efforts and intentions to PG/DP. In the
year ahead we will do the same and perhaps far more. There will be
more meetings and conferences in different regions and countries and
with each we will build upon what has begun in California. Look
forward then, and stay close to your newsletter in the weeks ahead. In
2004 we will fly...and no doubt, more than once or twice we will
glance up at the stars and smile, knowing there is a vast and wondrous
destiny aloft, which we are all a part of.
With my travels and personal time constraints over the past couple of
weeks it has been necessary to set down the continuation of our
exploration and profiles of the tools involved in the DP production
process. Today we will pick up where we left off and take a look at
the pair of tools developed by Steve Schulze aka: ThunderGnat to the
DP community. We also have a piece this week from Bill Keir about
those pesky little sprites that trip up the best proofreaders and go
by the name of Scannos.
The pair of tools known as GUIPrep and GUIGuts are much adored by the
content developers and post processors of DP. It is rather an
injustice to call them a "pair" of tools as they both perform a wide
range of processes that have come to be essential to efficient and
expedient production. From the beginning, we decided that the best way
to provide you with the latest and most informative background to the
tools is to let the developers speak for themselves. So without
further introduction I turn the mic over to Steve.
Musings on Guiguts
Guiguts came about because of my frustration with Proofreaders
Toolkit, an older, no longer supported toolkit that was used to
prepare texts for Distributed Proofreaders. Proofreaders Toolkit
(PRTK) has a GUI front end to gutcheck built into it. It works, but
there are several things about it that are sub-optimal.
Number 1. It was designed to work with an older version of gutcheck.
The command line options for gutcheck have changed slightly since the
PRTK was written, so it doesn't interface very well.
Number 2. An even bigger problem, every time you make an edit to the
file, the list of gutcheck errors becomes unsynchronized and it gets
hard to find subsequent errors that gutcheck reported.
I had previously written a preprocessing application called Prep to do
pre-proofing checks on texts before they were uploaded to the
site. After 8 versions of Prep, I added a Gui front end to it to make
it easier to select options for processing. (There were some 30 or so
options and the command line was getting out of hand. There's over 60
now.) When I added the front end, I changed the name to Guiprep to
differentiate it from command line Prep.
When the frustration level with PRTKs interface to Gutcheck grew too
much, I thought, "Heck, I could probably write something to do that."
and did so. When it came time to naming it, I thought "Well, I already
have Guiprep, a Gui front end to prep; this is a Gui front end to
gutcheck, I'll call it Guigutcheck. But that was too long, so I
shortened it to Guiguts. (which I found amusing anyway, so that was a
big plus too.)
Guiguts is written in Perl to take advantage of it's very powerful
text processing functions and cross platform support. It will run on
Windows and Linux platforms and could be easily modified to work on
Mac OSX, (but I don't have access to an OSX system to do development
and testing.) It unfortunately cannot be easily ported to Mac OS 9 and
earlier due to lack of some necessary Perl modules for those
OSes. Since it is written in Perl, the source is automatically
available for experimentation and hacking to anyone who is inclined to
do so. I also distribute a compiled windows executable version
(winguts.exe) for those who don't have a Perl interpreter on their
machine and just want to download and go.
Guiguts was originally intended just to be a front end to gutcheck. In
order to make it usable, I had to make it a fairly full featured text
editor so you would be able to make corrections to errors gutcheck
reported. So, since I already had a fairly decent text editor written,
I figured I'd add some other specialized functions that would come in
handy for some texts I was post processing. I think some of the first
functions I added were to do bulk change of case to selected
text. (Make it all uppercase, lowercase, whatever.) Not too unusual in
a decent text editor, but useful. Another thing I added early on was a
word frequency and comparison function. It would count all of the
words in a text and how many times they occurred, then let you display
them in various sort orders. (By frequency, by alphabetical order,
etc.) I wrote a function to help find "stealth scannos", words that
commonly mis-scanned but will pass a spellcheck, like "arid" for "and"
for instance.
As time went by, a core group of intrepid testers suggested new
functions and improvements to existing ones until it has become a
fairly powerful and comprehensive post processing toolkit on its own.
A partial list of functions and capabilities:
Search & Replace: Full search and replace functions, search for full
or partial words. Able to search using regular expressions with
variable extraction for replacement terms.
Stealth Scannos: Find words that were scanned incorrectly but will
pass spellcheck.
Spell check: Provides hooks to tie in Aspell or Ispell to do full
interactive spell checking.
Find Orphaned Brackets: Often brackets or parentheses are mismatched
in a text, it can be a real pain to find the unmatched ones, this
function makes it easy.
Case Adjustment: An array of bulk case adjustment functions, convert
to uppercase, convert to lowercase, convert to sentence case, convert
to title case.
Bulk indenting: Indent a selection of text in or out 1 space with each
press,preserves relative indenting.
Text Rewrap: Automatic rewrap of selected text. Adjustable rewrap
margin. Adjustable indent. Lots of options.
Word Frequency Analysis: Sort and count words in the text. Specialized
sub functions to find hyphenated words, words with accents, words with
mixed alphabetic and numeric characters, and several others.
Footnote Fixup: Functions to automate renumbering, moving and
reformatting footnotes.
HTML Fixup: Functions to work with HTML markup including finding
orphaned markup and auto generating a HTML version of a text.
ASCII Box Drawing: Automatically draw ASCII boxes around selected
text. Optionally rewrap and center or left or right justify the text
in the box.
A whole host of other specialized functions.
And oh yes, it provides a GUI interface to gutcheck.
Thank you, Steve! ... for the background and all the effort to develop
these powerful tools for the PG/DP community!
Now Big Bill is going to fill us in on the slippery bane of all post
processors, the dreaded Tasmanian Scanno. Okay, so they're not from
Tasmania, but Bill has doing his best to exile them there for the rest
of us.
=======================
Stealth Scannos by Bill Keir
=======================
In the late 19th century wasn't the telephone considered wonderful
modem technology? Or was it wonderful *modern* technology?
A standard step in preparing a text for PG is to spell-check it. Of
course that can only do so much, and while it will detect words that
have been OCRd as junk, it won't detect words that have been OCRd as
other words.
When "he" is OCRd as "fe", we have a scanno - analogous to typo - an
error. Spell-checkers will catch scannos that produce non-words;
that's what spell-checkers do, identify non-words.
But when "he" is OCRd as "lie", we have a scanno that a spell checker
will not blink at - a stealth scanno, that flies under the
spell-checker's radar.
Tonya was the first to publish a list of the most commonly occurring
scannos of this type, as part of her comprehensive PPing
checklist. Classics she cited included "arid" being produced for
"and", "yon" for "you" and "modem" for "modern". These occur so often,
and as the words appear so similar on the screen (unless you're using
a custom font, see below) are so often missed by human eyes as well as
spell-checkers, that Tonya suggested it was worthwhile searching your
text for "arid", as most of them were probably mis-scanned "and"s.
I named them and offered to be a central clearing house for reported
sightings. We now have hundreds of stealth scannos and more every
month. Various software tools make use of the listings, and once again
the cooperation of many individuals has led to improving the standards
of quality of our submitted texts.
Thank you, Bill! Next week we will profile two important tools that
Bill has developed; the Re-Wrap & Indent script and the Smooth
Proofing font. We will also go back to the original tools of the PG/DP
community: GutCheck and PRTK. As we wrap up the tool profiles you can
look forward to a special section on the PG newsletter site set aside
specifically for information on all the tools as well as links to
download the latest versions, whether you work within the DP site or
develop texts for PG independently.
Finally this week, be aware that we have a new feature to the DP
masthead. Where we used to count down the number of titles until
10,000 at PG, we now provide the current total works contributed to
Project Gutenberg by DP. At time of writing, the figure stands at
2,851 books posted. Watch this space around the first week of January
as we reach 3,000.
Until next week, enjoy your holiday preparations as well as the
continued celebrations at DP. This year promises to go out in a grand
style. Keep giving your best and the same will return to fill the
hours of your days.
For now...

3) Notes and Queries, Reviews and Features
Cookery Club, December 17
This week we consider a traditional Olde Englisshe Christmas
dinner. Looking into Dickens' A Christmas Carol (see this issue's
quiz!) we find the following list of seasonal luxuries in the
description of the Ghost of Christmas Present:
"Heaped up on the floor, to form a kind of throne, were turkeys,
geese, game, poultry, brawn, great joints of meat, sucking-pigs, long
wreaths of sausages, mince-pies, plum-puddings, barrels of oysters,
red-hot chestnuts, cherry-cheeked apples, juicy oranges, luscious
pears, immense twelfth-cakes, and seething bowls of punch, that made
the chamber dim with their delicious steam."
In the same book, the Cratchits had to be content with "Goose ? [e]ked
out by apple-sauce and mashed potatoes."
We suggest something in between to capture the spirit of the olde-tyme
Christmas banquet. The ever-knowledgeable Mrs. Beeton remarks that
"The boar's head, in ancient times, formed the most important dish on
the table, and was invariably the first placed on the board upon
Christmas-day." Oh, for the good old days?.
Moving on to more modern times,
"The common turkey is a native of North America, and was thence
introduced to England, in the reign of Henry VIII. According to
Tusser's "Five Hundred Points of Good Husbandry," about the year 1585
it begun to form a dish at our rural Christmas feasts."
However, the traditional favourite remains
ROAST GOOSE
which, as Mrs. Beeton tells us, is "seasonable from September to
March; but in perfection from Michaelmas to Christmas."
Thus, for our menu we propose:
Roast Goose *
Roast Potatoes
Red Cabbage
Mincemeat Pie *
Christmas Pudding + or,
Trifle ~
* [recipe in Domestic Cookery,

1. The Declaration of Independence (etext #1)
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext90/when12.txt
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for
one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected
them with another, and to assume, among the Powers of the earth,
the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and
of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions
of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which
impel them to the separation.
2. The Gettysburg Address of Abraham Lincoln (etext #4)
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext90/getty11.txt

thought Alice `without pictures or conversation?'
4. Paradise Lost, by John Milton (etext #20)
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext91/plboss10.txt
Of Mans First Disobedience, and the Fruit
Of that Forbidden Tree, whose mortal tast
Brought Death into the World, and all our woe,
With loss of EDEN, till one greater Man
Restore us, and regain the blissful Seat,
Sing Heav'nly Muse, that on the secret top
Of OREB, or of SINAI, didst inspire
That Shepherd, who first taught the chosen Seed,
In the Beginning how the Heav'ns and Earth
Rose out of CHAOS:

10. A Tale of Two Cities, by Charles Dickens (etext #98)
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext94/2city12.txt
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,
it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness,
it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity,
it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness,
it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair,
we had everything before us, we had nothing before us,
we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct
the other way--in short, the period was so far like the present
period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its
being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree
of comparison only.
