| since our ftp program has
a bug in it that scrambles the date [tried to fix and failed] a
look at the file size will have to do, but we will try to see a
new copy has at least one byte more or less. the
fifty hours is one conservative estimate for how long it we take
to get any etext selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. |
| this
projected audience is one hundred million readers.
at our revised rates of production, we will reach only one-third
of that goal by the end of 2001, or about 3,333 etexts unless we
manage to get some real funding; currently our funding is mostly
from michael hart's salary at carnegie-mellon university, and an
assortment of sporadic gifts; this salary is only good for a few
more years, so we are looking for something to replace it, as we
don't want project gutenberg to be so dependent on one person. this site lists etexts by
author and by title, and includes information about how
to get involved with project gutenberg. you could also
download our past newsletters, or subscribe here. this
is one of our major sites, please email hart@pobox.com,
for a more complete list of our various sites. |
