-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello all. As you may or may not know, Craig Stephenson and greg Newby have been working on a system to create custom CD and DVD images on the fly. I am happy to report that the system gets better and better each time I look at it. You can see the progress at http://snowy.arsc.alaska.edu/pgiso/ . This system is not ready for the masses, but please feel free to take a look and poke around. Just be sure and report any errors and don't give the address to anyone who isn't on this list. Also, while it isn't complete and quite lacking in obvious ways, feel free to forward any suggestions or ideas you might have. If you like coding, are fluent in PHP and Perl, and would like to help code, let me know that as well. I am working on the documentation for the system. I plan on using an FAQ format, and I could use your help in coming up with more possible questions. Here are the questions I have so far: What is the Project Gutenberg Custom ISO Creator? What is an ISO? What are the system requirements for using the ISO Creator? What are the basic steps in creating a custom ISO? What are the published collections? How do I register? Why register? What do I do with the ISO now that I've got it? What can I do with the discs I create? Who can I contact if I have problems? Any other ideas? Thanks!

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've been having problems with my pop server, so I'm going to try one more time. I've had a few offers similar to this. Based on the specific way in which we like to do things, I'm not sure that this would be worth the effort. If anyone has any ideas on how to make it work, I'm interested.

Request from recipient

In response to the receipt of one of our packages by someone in Australia, I have received a request from this person to receive a few names and addresses so he could fulfill some requests rather than trying to make a donation by credit card which he thinks would not work. I said I would ask and tell him what I learned. I also told him that I thought our confidentiality practices would make honoring his request difficult. What do you think? Thank you. John Note to self: Ask if he has PayPal.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I don't think this went through the first time, so here goes again. Sorry if it's a duplicate. I've had a few offers similar to this.

Deja vu?

Are we again on a Russian "free stuff here" page? I don't really know how to find out. Our requests from Russia and the other countries of the Former Soviet Union have suddenly jumped up.
