======== Subject: Project Gutenberg Needs YOU!!! From: "Michael S. Hart" <hart@prairienet.org> To: "Project Gutenberg mailing list" <gutnberg@listserv.unc.edu> Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2000 10:16:42 -0500 (CDT) *Project Gutenberg Request for Support for October 18, 2000* [This is a blatant request for support for Project Gutenberg Please delete it and accept our apology if not interested!!] [We only send such messages once each Spring and/or Autumn.] Lot's of important news for those who read all the way thru. Personal note: I will be giving presentations in Seattle, Hawaii, and also in San Francisco. Please make sure I have contact info for you if you would like to see me, or if you would be able to put me up on Sunday 10/22 and Monday 10/23 or Monday 10/24, in Seattle, or just if you would like to see me. Also I am likely to need a place to stay on Thanksgiving in SF. I am leaving in 48 hours, so let me know right away. Thanks, mh We Have Made It Much Easier To Volunteer http://promo.net/pg/volunteer.html *Announcing Project Gutenberg Etext #3000, Proust in French* ************************************************************ Why Should *YOU* Support Project Gutenberg? Because The Work of Project Gutenberg is: 1. Permanent 2. Free 3. Available 4. Useful 5. Enlightening 6. Growing and, best of all 7. Yours! First a few lines of comment on each of these topics, then a more detailed explanation. 1. Permanent Unlike the usual character of the Internet and the World Wide Web, television and radio, or most other modern media production outlets, Project Gutenberg is a landmark. . .a permanent feature of the Net . . .since before anyone had coined the term "Internet". . .since before the World Wide Web. . .and we are now supported by a Trust/ Foundation which will hopefully help continue the existence of PG for more decades, or even centuries into the future. 2. Free There are no hidden costs to use Project Gutenberg, no hardware or software requirements. . .nearly every computer comes with a variety of ways to receive, save, read and search our Etexts. 3. Available There are mirror sites wide varieties of regions, including every continent in the world, even Antarctica. . .to insure everyone has easy access. Within the last month or two, new sites have been announced in Greece, Bulgaria, and Hungary. Contrary to the policies of most Etext operations, Project Gutenberg encourages EVERYONE to download our Etexts and to make them available to the public at large. . .worldwide, with only a few words of warning not to violate local laws concerning various copyrighted or trademarked materials we include in our collection. 4. Useful Students and scholars all over the world use Project Gutenberg Etexts to search, research, and just plain read for fun. As a wider variety of screens become available, with an increasing number of colors, more and more people are reading full books on their computers, laptops, and palmtops. In addition, Project Gutenberg Etexts are wonderfully flexible for visually impaired readers, and are easily readable by the text-to-speech software used by many who cannot read at all. More and more libraries are now including Project Gutenberg Etexts in their collections. 5. Enlightening We are making a great effort to include every language we can in our collection, and are hoping to include the classis books from every culture within each language. Project Gutenberg is hoping to indeed be "A Window On The World." We are hoping to add a new language every month or two in 2001, please made sure we have something in YOUR language[s]. 6. Growing Project Gutenberg is now producing 50 Etexts/month, 600/year. . . It was only 5 years ago that we managed our first 100 Etext year, and in a few years, with your support, we hope to do 1,000 Etexts in a calendar year. We used to talk about Project Gutenberg as a kind of "book of the month" production system. . .but now you would have to buy whole new bookshelves each and every month to hold them all the paper editions we present. . .or just add one new CDROM. . .hee hee!!! 7. Yours These books are yours, permanently. . . . When you get a Project Gutenberg Etext, you have not checked it out, licenced it, rented it, borrowed it, or any other temporary idiom. You can quote them in any way you like, school papers, research, books YOU may write. . .without limitation, other than on the 1% of the that are copyrighted works. These books are YOURS. . .as many copies as you want. . .any time you want. . .any place you want. . .and they don't take up any space. . . it's *literally* any *place* you want. As a volunteer, these books are even more intimately yours, as we try very hard to encourage our volunteers to do their own favorite books, in their own languages, in their own good time. . .we don't put anyone on a schedule. . . . Here are the details. . . . 1. The Work of Project Gutenberg is Permanent. The major difference between the products of Project Gutenberg and those of other non-profit organizations such as PBS, NPR, etc., is that even now it it's 30th year, our original Etext of the U. S. Declaration of Independence is downloaded by more people every year than in any previous year of the history of the Internet. When you support Project Gutenberg, your support is seen permanently. It is not like a museum or library, you won't come for a visit and NOT see your effect right there for everyone to see and have. . . . You won't find PBS showing all their shows from 30 years ago. . . but the Project Gutenberg Etexts are there forever. We update format types from time to time, and correct errors, but when your family reads Alice in Wonderland now, we want you to know you will be able to find it again generations down the road. We already have people getting married and starting families of their own, who read Alice from Project Gutenberg when they weren't even teenagers yet. . . . This is quite different from the way most Internet sites exist as a day to day phenomenon, whereas we are planning on Project Gutenberg Etexts being available as long as there IS an Internet. When you buy CDROMs of most Etexts you get something that requires a certain operating system, and even a certain version of it, usually one that that will be incompatible with the next version or the one after that. . .and then you have to go out and buy another version. That's where the big difference lies between Project Gutenberg Etext and nearly every other kind you can get. . .you can still copy books from Project Gutenberg onto your floppies, carry them to nearly any computer, and read them with mininal effort, no installation needed. 2. The Work of Project Gutenberg is Free. Because no installation is needed, these Etexts ARE free. . .there is no particular brand of hardware or software you need to buy to read a Project Gutenberg Etext. . .you don't even have to download a browser . . .whether it is free or not. . . . Virtually every computer there is in the world can read these Etexts just the way it comes, and that is the point of our existence. . . . We want EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE, EVERYWHEN to have free access to such a library of classics in EVERY LANGUAGE. Thousands of Project Gutenberg Etexts are available, and no one is ever charged a penny by Project Gutenberg for them. All the Etexts are done by volunteers. All the sites are run by volunteers. 3. The Work of Project Gutenberg is Available. The Project Gutenberg Etexts are available from servers on all continents. We are continually expanding the number of servers, and evenutally hope to have servers not just on every continent, but in every region, and then in every country. We are now working on sites in Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, and several others. With 3 billion computers already around the world, and used ones available at garage sales for $5, pretty much anyone who really wants to read Etexts and has electricity can do it. I should add that we are aware that 60% of the world's population has never made a phone call. . .which is one reason we promote the giving away of our Etexts on disks. . .we were receiving letters from around the world from people who had received our Etexts on disk years before the Internet actually circled the globe. Our Etexts are actually available for download from several satellites. 4. The Work of Project Gutenberg is Useful. Looking up something in any of our books takes less time that it would to walk over to your own bookcase and find it in your own book. Quoting the material is even faster. The Complete Works of Shakespeare could be used for a search that would take literally seconds. We also have very complete editions of Charles Dickens and Robert Louis Stevenson, so complete that they have been listed in library journals as the most complete available to the public in the entire world. [I don't know if there are privately owned collections that have more. But the whole point is that anyone can add our entire collection to theirs with no effort.] We make our Etexts available in plain formats that virtually all programs can read, quote, edit, search, etc. Thus our readers use a wider variety of computers and programs, at their own discretion, and budget, to read a wide variety of Etexts. This is a very important aspect of our work. . . to make Etext available to everyone. . .and to let them read it in their own favorite programs, in their own favorite fonts, to search with their own favorite search engines, and to copy anywhere, any time. 5. The Work of Project Gutenberg is Englightening. My hope is that the work of Project Gutenberg will finally allow access to the information and literature of the entire world to the entire world. "Of The People, By The People, For The People". . .says it pretty well. Hopefully you will include yourself as one of "These People." 6. Project Gutenberg Is Growing We are officially producing 50 Etexts per month at this time, and unofficially we are producing even more. Last year we averaged about 75 per month for the second half of the year, and we are doing the same this year. At this rate, we will soon cross the boundary of 1,000 Etexts produced in a single year. Not only is Project Gutenberg growing, but our audience is growing as well, and even more quickly. Our Sites Coordinator just told me that half the people reading our books are new over the past 18 months. This is not uncommon among brand new enterprises, but when you realize this is our 30th year, such growth is truly. . .no hyperbole. . . . . PHENOMENAL! Here is a brief history of our growth rate: We should reach approximately 3,000 Etexts by the official end of 2001, but since we are about a year ahead of schedule, this will likely take place in the next few months. [hee hee, when I started writing this a month ago, I had no idea I might be announcing #3000 in THIS message!!!] Here is how we got there: 1 per year in 1971-1979 completed our first 9 Etexts which were mostly a "History of Western Democracy" From 1980-1990 we completed our first Bible and Shakepeare, but due to the new copyright extensions, the Shakespeare is still not able to be released. Thus our total was 10 Etexts. [We counted Shakespeare and The Bible as 1 Etext each.] 1 per month in 1991 2 per month in 1992 4 per month in 1993 8 per month in 1994 We reached a total of 100 Etexts 16 per month in 1995 32 per month in 1996 32 per month in 1997 We reached a total of 1,000 Etexts 36 per month in 1998 36 per month in 1999 We reached a total of 2,000 Etexts 36 per month in 2000 40 per month in 2001 for the first half of the year then 50 per month in 2001 for the second half of the year We will end the "Official Year of 2001" with 3,000 Etexts!!! [Now that we can officially say we have "thousands" of these Etexts online, we should prepare to create an institution of support for Project Gutenberg that will hopefully carry this project into, and at least part of the way through, the next millennium. . .your help could be invaluable. . .more below] We Have Made It Much Easier To Volunteer, see promo.net/pg!! [There is a brand new set of web pages for our volunteers so please help us with any suggestions and/or corrections, your help in making this page serve our volunteers is appreciated more than you might imagine. . .this page could become a big foundation for our future volunteers; we are ALL volunteers] *** Have We Given Away A Trillion Dollars Worth Of Etext Yet??!! Yes, if we manage to get the average one of our 3,000 Etexts to 1.67% of the world's population, using a nominal value of $3.33 as a street value of the average one of our books: as our population has passed 6 billion around the official date of release of our Etext #2000. In fact, we are ~all the way from using the $5 nominal value, thru the $4 value, that was the result of our posting Etext #2500. . .but then it may be a while to get to the $3 mark at Etext #3333, as it takes an ever increasing number to bring the cost down another dollar . . .this time it will take 833 more Etexts. . .last time it only took 500 more. . .next time it will take 1666 to get it from $3 to $2. . .and then 5000 more to get nominal price of a book down to $1 and still give away $1 trillion in Etexts. OK. . .enough math. . .!!! ;-) *** The major purpose of Project Gutenberg is to encourage great and small efforts towards the creation and distribution of a library of Etexts for unlimited distribution worldwide. Our goal is to encourage the creation and distribution of 10,000 Etexts by the end of 2001. . . This is a goal we may have already accomplished, though many of the 10,000 files are still very much Limited Distribution items, and we are working to get them posted in more places, on more sites, for greater and greater public access. These will hopefully all be posted on Project Gutenberg sites some time in the not too distant future, we are dicsussing this a lot with the other Etext makers. Creating a liaison between all the Etexts makers is one of our major goals right now. *** If we are going to continue on past our first goal of 10,000 Etexts, we are going to need some Big Time public relations help, and some Big Time fundraising. . .here's why. . . . 1. Getting the Etexts to twice as many people is just as important as creating twice as many Etexts. . .but without MAJOR publicity it is not likely to happen. . .we constantly get messages from readers who tell us they have been LOOKING for Etexts for years and just at that present time FINALLY FOUND US. . . . That means we cannot get to a major part of our audience with the kind of publicity we have, we need something more. . . . For example, we were the first in an entirely new column: "People To Watch" in the November 8th edition of TIME magazine, but we have received less than a dozen emails per that article. . .what we really need to do is get on Oprah Winfrey, and hopefully add something to her book club. Those of you on AOL, perhaps you could email the show and request they invite us. . . ! We should undoubtedly also try the other talk shows, and "magazine" shows, etc. All the press we receive is from them contacting us, I have had no luck "generating" publicity. . .which seems to be easy, for those who have the knack. . .it's just not MY knack. . .help!!! 2. Running group of 1,500 volunteers to generate 10,000 Etexts has been something that IS a knack I have. . .and it hasn't cost a very large amount of money to do it. . .otherwise you wouldn't know that we exist. . .but running a group of 10,000 volunteers to create the 1,000,000 Etext that are possible in the NEXT 10 years, is NOT easy . . .even for someone such as myself. . .it will require more phone lines and calls than I can afford. . .and more email than I can do, on my own, so we either need volunteers to help coordinate, or, the possibility looms that we should actually HIRE people. . . . When I first started Project Gutenberg in 1971, I was sure I should be able to find someone else to replace me, as it did not cost real money or take real time to run. . .but for the last 10 years it has taken just about all the time I have, including what I would need a lot more of to have a personal life. . .and I would LIKE to have an expectation that Project Gutenberg would survive at least 10 years, after I am gone, and hopefully 100, and if I really dream, 1,000!!! So. . .if you are willing and able to help us with these or in some related manner, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. . . . *** Contents Overview 0. Etexts in Various Languages 1. Copyright 2.

New Etexts Needing Proofreading Followed By More Detailed Information On Most Of These Subjects ******* 0.

German 6. Spanish 7. Chinese 8. Japanese 9. Swedish 10. Danish 11. DNA/ATGC 12. Welsh 13. Portuguese 14. Welsh 15. Bulgarian 16. Dutch/Flemish 17. Greek* 18. Hebrew* 19. Old French* 20. Polish* 21 Russian* 22. Romanian* [Those with an * are still in need of work] 1. Copyright Project Gutenberg will do copyright research for you if you send us xeroxes of the title page [both sides, even if one side is blank.] We need people to hunt through libraries or bookstores for editions that we can use to legally prepare our Electronic Texts [Etexts.] Germany, Italy and Great Britain have each extended their copyright to "life + 70 years," as opposed to the "life +50 years" of "Berne" copyright conventions. Residents of those areas will have to be an extra bit careful, as a million items that used to be Public Domain in those countries reverted to copyright status, even though a vast majority of them are no longer for sale. This is now true for some other countries, including France and perhaps Brazil and Portugal. More on the United States Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998 in a "More Detailed Information" section below. 2. Scanning and Typing Once we have located some proper edition[s], then our volunteers do the books by scanning or typing them into the computer. Usually it is the same person who does the proofreading, but not necessarily. If you have a scanner, or have access to one, or plan to get one in the future, please contact our Director of Production, Dianne Bean, beandp@primenet.com, with a cc: to me at hart@pobox.com 2. Proofreading Often the only way for many of our volunteers to work on Etexts for us is if they can ship their book to one of you, have it scanned in and then returned to them for proofreading. If you could do the scanning for them, it would help us immensely. 4. FTP and WWW Sites We would very much like to provide better access to Etext for sites in Africa and South America, and other locales. If you know anyone who might be able to help with this, please read this: We are always in search of more FTP and World Wide Web sites, so an increasing number of people can download our books without unusual, even often fatal, delays and glitches in transmission. If you, or someone you know, can spare a gigabyte on their servers, please have them contact us about creating more mirror sites. This is a particular need for countries south of the equator, where text files are only available on one server that we know of. If you can help us get our books into South America, Africa, and further, this would be a great help. We have something restarted in New Zealand, with extensions into Australia, but the load this server can handle is probably going to be easily exhausted. 5. Donations Project Gutenberg is almost completely dependent on your donations. Presently, contributions are only being solicited from people in: Texas, Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, South Dakota, Iowa, Indiana, and Vermont. As the requirements for other states are met, additions to this list will be made and fund raising will begin in the additional states. These donations should be made to the "Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation" and mailed to: Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation PMB 113 1739 University Ave. Oxford, MS 38655-4109 Anything you can do in this are would be greatly appreciated, even, since we are at this juncture, helping us get more Public Relations coverage of our 3,000th Etext. Project Gutenberg sites up updated more than once a day on average, since we are presenting 600 Etexts per year, and plan to move to at least 1,000 year after 2002. As I said, anything would be greatly appreciated. This SHOULD BE a great time to get some PR. . .but it still appears, even though the project has been written up probably about 200 times, that they are going to write us up when THEY have a reason to rather than when WE have a reason, and we feel it is now time to try to break out of an entirely too limiting niche in the computer oriented media, and get some more general publicity out there to the millions of people who aren't computer oriented at all, but will would like to receive the Etexts for education or entertainment. This is a majority of world population centers, and we should do more to reach them. If you have any "ins" in the press or with the corporate world, this would be a good time to use them. 6. Raiders of the Lost Archives As you may be aware from several events of a month ago, and earlier, there is a downside to having Etext archives in limited distribution modalities, simply because if one site, or one person, or even whole countries, change their minds about what they are going to archive-- then the whole world loses access to those files. A good example was the loss of The Oxford Book of English Verse from Project Bartleby. We have taken great pains to get this book, which is undoubtedly important, back on the Net. If you want to see which sites have lost this file, just do a Yahoo search for the book, then count the vast number of sites that have blank entries for the book, once it was deleted from a multiplicity of links; this is an example of how important it is for Etexts to be posted on many sites, rather than just one site will many links to it!!! We need volunteers who will search the world for every possible book and help us preserve it. Project Gutenberg will not release any of this material until we can do the copyright research and prove it belongs in the Public Domain. We realize that many of our volunteers sometimes get frustrated that we do this research, which possibly takes half our time, but it will become more and more apparent why this is a good policy as copyright laws become stiffer and stiffer, and world intellectual property can be limited in greater and great ways. It is quite likely that it is going to be some time in the next calendar year that a United States law killing off another 20 years of public domain in the US will get passed, to join the countries listed above, in eliminating a million books from potentially being posted as Etexts, even though 99% are a dead issue, out of print for decades. . . . 7. Special Requests We occasionally receive scanned material which could have benefitted from more cleanup before it was sent to us. What we need is proofers with patience to read through an etext and take out stray letters, clean up the punctuation, and send a list of questionable lines to the person who scanned it so they can send corrections to be inserted. This usually takes a couple of weeks, and is a good short-term project for folks who want to get their feet wet with Project Gutenberg. Dianne Bean <beandp@primenet.com> 8. Programming Due to the various formats in which we receive many of our Etexts, we need some assistance in writing PERL scripts, vi scripts, or an assortment of other scripts that will assist our proofreaders, and our editors, in dealing with page numbers, markups, italics and an assortment of other formatting issue that come up time to time. Most of these are fairly trivial and can be solved with a one line script for each of the particular situations and we just need some people to either run the scripts we already have, or to write some new ones from time to time when a particularly rough Etext version arrives at our doorstep. These scripts, which take minutes to set up, and seconds to run, can save HOURS of proofreaders' time. You can be a BIG help just running some of these scripts for us, or in writing or rewriting some of them on occasion. *** More Detailed Information 1. Copyright Copyright Extension Is Also Happening in the United States Since Project Gutenberg began in 1971, millions of copyrights in the US should have expired, but are being prevented from expiring by various political action groups. 2. Scanning and Typing We don't really want to get into a public recommendation about what scanners and OCR [Optical Character Recognition] programs word best . . .it is really the case that some do better on some books, while other do better on others. However, we ARE willing to share our experience if you ask. 3. Proofreading Our official accuracy level that we try to maintain has been 99.9%, for our first release, which is usually raised to 99.95% before the vast majority of people ever see them, and this standard has been a standard that has been adopted by most Etext providers, including a new effort toward Etext by the Library of Congress and the national libraries of Great Britain and other countries. What we hope you realize is that any serious effort to get an Etext to 100% accuracy should take MORE effort than to create an entirely new Etext with an accuracy level of 99.9% to 99.95%. While many, even most, of the Project Gutenberg Etexts are accurate to an amazing degree, even more amazing when you compare then to an entire world of Etexts prepared by both the scholarly or commercial Etext enterprises, we do not feel that the additional doubling of a more than massive effort, to possibly reduce the errors, by another .02% perhaps, would have anywhere near the value of the preparation of an entirely new Etext with the same amount of effort. Nevertheless, even the most famous universities of the world have a collection of Etexts, many of which have vastly more errors that in our collection. This is also true of the commercial Etexts. Don't be afraid that your efforts won't be as good as all the others, the process of improving Project Gutenberg Etexts is never ending. In addition, there are many volunteers who would prefer to have an Etext or at least an author selected for them to work on. As some of you already know, _I_ have been reluctant to choose for anyone, not wanting to bias the formation of our collection with my choice of what are the great books of human history. I have promised to do several things once we reached Etext #2,000, one of which is to provide more guidance to those who seek it, and that guidance will be coming from Dianne Bean, true librarian, who is also working on the cataloguing project I also promised will be forthcoming once we reach Etext #2,000. More on: Proofreading: We could also use people who know how to use DIFF or similar programs that point out differences between two files, even programmers that might only be able to search our files for matched and unmatched quotes. [Remember that when quoting many paragraphs, each internal paragraph gets only an opening quote.] Our proofreading is a never-ending story. . .we run spell-checkers, and other varieties of programs, on our Etexts, and have real human proofreaders go over them in pretty incredible detail, but we would be remiss if we did not tell you that over 99% of the books we work from have their own errors, and that while we catch some of those-- we undoubtedly introduce errors of our own, and even though we will gladly keep updating our editions, ad infinitum, the odds that this will catch ALL the errors in the near future are virtually 0%. Therefore. . .we need you to email us when you have suggestion, and comments, and when you find possible errors that need correction. 4. FTP and WWW Sites We are willing to adjust the bandwidth on various sites by adjusting the publicity various sites receive, and also by asking our users to only use certain sites at certain times of the day or night. So the drain on sites volunteering to mirror Etexts should not suffer any. 5. Donations We have never received any local, regional or national grants; your donations, and the support of people I would hope to count as my friends are the backbone of our support. We could barely survive otherwise. 6. Raiders of the Lost Archives [This needs a rewrite] This is going to be particularly evident if the raggedy performances that are destroying 99% of the Public Domain continue by raiding the Public Domain, taking a million works out of the Public Domain, over a period of 20 years, and putting perhaps 1% of 1% of them back in a print version so that those who owned the copyrights for the past 75 years and made millions from them, can make another million per year while 99.99% of those works disappear from public access altogether. * And now here are the listings of our most recent Etexts, an extra month, just for those of you who have read this far. . .we hope you enjoy them.
