======== Subject: Project Gutenberg *Monthly* Newsletter From: "Michael S. Hart" <hart@prairienet.org> To: "Project Gutenberg mailing list" <gutnberg@listserv.unc.edu> Date: Wed, 2 May 2001 12:14:04 -0500 (CDT) *Project Gutenberg's *Monthly* Newsletter for Wednesday, May 2, 2001* Etexts Readable By Both Humans and Computers Since Before The Internet [Usually sent the first Wednesday of each month, delayed if by relay.] Main URL is promo.net Webmaster is Pietro di Miceli, of Rome, Italy *Check out our Websites at promo.net, and ask me for our FTP servers.* We are still testing doing the Newsletters on a weekly basis. . .but I have only received ONE email requesting bi-weekly and NONE monthly, so I am preparing to move completely from monthly to weekly on July 4th-- so only two more monthly Newsletters to go though I may keep statistic files for monthly release as a separate message. *** Check out our latest FTP site: Michigan State University Computer Science and Engineering site: ftp://indian.cse.msu.edu/pub/mirrors/Gutenberg/ *** This month we have managed to reach #3481 for a "cost" of $2.87 per copy to have given away our goal of $1,000,000,000,000 [One Trillion Dollars] with a total of 864 Etext titles we have presented from last year to now. [Yes, this includes 13 months of work announced in this calendar year.] Our 100,000,000 readers is one to two percent of the world's population. This "cost" is down from $2.94 when we had 3400 Etexts on April 4 [This was the month we released two full Newsletters at one time] This "cost" is down from $3.00 when we had 3333 Etexts on April 4 This "cost" is down from $3.10 when we had 3225 Etexts on March 7 This "cost" is down from $3.17 when we had 3150 Etexts on February 6 This "cost" is down from $3.23 when we had 3100 Etexts on January 3, 2001 This "cost" is down from $3.33 when we had 3000 Etexts on December 6, 2000 This "cost" is down from $3.40 when we had 2940 Etexts on October 18/Nov 1 This "cost" is down from $3.48 when we had 2870 Etexts on September 3 This "cost" is down from $3.55 when we had 2820 Etexts on August 16 This "cost" is down from $3.60 when we had 2775 Etexts on August 2 This "cost" is down from $3.70 when we had 2650 Etexts in July This "cost" is down from $3.77 when we had 2650 Etexts in June This "cost" is down from $3.92 when we had 2550 Etexts in May This "cost" is down from $4.00 when we had 2500 Etexts on April 5 Can you imagine each one of thousands of books reduced by $1.05 in a period of only one calendar year??? *** For "instant" access to our new Etexts you can surf to: http://ibiblio.unc.edu/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext02 or ftp://ibiblio.unc.edu/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext02 You will need the first five letters of the filenames listed below. *** Here is a list of the Etexts posted since last month. We have REreleased significantly corrected versions of: Jan 2002 The Boss and the Machine, Samuel P. Orth [bossmxxx.xxx]3040 Version 11 Jan 1992 O Pioneers! Willa Cather [Cather #1] [opionxxx.xxx] 24 Version 12 Jan 2002 Real Soldiers of Fortune, Richard H. Davis [#31][resofxxx.xxx]3029 Version 11 *** And these are the new Etexts we have posted in the last month for official release in 2002, you can download and proof now. 28 for September 17 for October 24 for November 12 for December --------------- 81 New Etexts in the last month. We need to average about 83 per month to do 1,000 per year. We just barely made it to 81, as we posted all the Human Genome work in the last 24 hours. . .so it's going to be much closer than anyone thinks. . . . And here are the listings for the this month's new Etexts: With this Etext we have now completed September, 2002, except for the remaining volumes of The Arabian Nights and #3431 whis is *reserved*. Last month we had listed 8 for September, this month there are 35 for a monthly increase of 28 for September, 2002. My apologies for the odd presentation. . .I am still working on these new formats required for the weekly Newsletters, which, of course, do present 5 times the opportunity to make mistakes. . .hopefully I will have this under control by July 4th, as promised. . . . Here are the 50 Project Gutenberg Etexts for September, 2002 Some of these are still *reserved*. . .as indicated by an * Sep 2002 1001 Nights[Arabian Nights], V16 by Richard Burton[g1001xxx.xxx]3450* Sep 2002 1001 Nights[Arabian Nights], V15 by Richard Burton[f1001xxx.xxx]3449* Sep 2002 1001 Nights[Arabian Nights], V14 by Richard Burton[e1001xxx.xxx]3448* Sep 2002 1001 Nights[Arabian Nights], V13 by Richard Burton[d1001xxx.xxx]3447* Sep 2002 1001 Nights[Arabian Nights], V12 by Richard Burton[c1001xxx.xxx]3446* 45 Sep 2002 1001 Nights[Arabian Nights], V11 by Richard Burton[b1001xxx.xxx]3445* Sep 2002 1001 Nights[Arabian Nights], V10 by Richard Burton[a1001xxx.xxx]3444* Sep 2002 1001 Nights[Arabian Nights], V9, by Richard Burton[91001xxx.xxx]3443* Sep 2002 1001 Nights[Arabian Nights], V8, by Richard Burton[81001xxx.xxx]3442* Sep 2002 1001 Nights[Arabian Nights], V7, by Richard Burton[71001xxx.xxx]3441* 40 Sep 2002 1001 Nights[Arabian Nights], V6, by Richard Burton[61001xxx.xxx]3440* Sep 2002 1001 Nights[Arabian Nights], V5, by Richard Burton[51001xxx.xxx]3439* Sep 2002 1001 Nights[Arabian Nights], V4, by Richard Burton[41001xxx.xxx]3438* Sep 2002 1001 Nights[Arabian Nights], V3, by Richard Burton[31001xxx.xxx]3437* Sep 2002 1001 Nights[Arabian Nights], V2, by Richard Burton[21001xxx.xxx]3436 35 Sep 2002 1001 Nights[Arabian Nights], V1, by Richard Burton[11001xxx.xxx]3435 [These are in 7 and 8 bit unaccented and accented versions] [Filenames are x1001xx7.txt and .zip and x1001xx8.txt and .zip] [X will be 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f and g] [Full Titles: The Book of The Thousand Nights And A Night, Volumes 1 - 16] [Also listed under: The Arabian Nights, A Thousand and One Nights. . . and. . .A Thousand and One Arabian Nights] 34 Sep 2002 The Koran/The Q'uran, by Mohammed/Mohammad . . .
