Could someone send me the word doc that is to be included with mailings that go out? I misplaced my copy, and sent off my last hard copy in a mailing without realizing it. Thank you! -- Brandon Galbraith Email: brandon.galbraith(a)gmail.com AIM: brandong00 Voice: 630.400.6992

User feedback from new CD/DVD creation system

Here is the text of an e-mail conversation I had with a retired gentleman who is very interested in e-books. -----Original Message----- From: Joseph Gill [mailto:gilljoseph1949@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 17, 2006 10:25 PM To: John Hagerson Subject: RE: Please confirm mailing address Thank You John, I tried to do as you suggested below but NO easy step by step instructions. It is sad that after so many volunteers and yourself work so hard for years that there is not a simple download program and simple update files download program. If you offered your text in an illustrated word file they could have FULL title and author listing and would be searchable as texts. I keep 70,000 e-texts books and papers on my computer and can search the ENTIRE collection for words or dates ect. I have my estates allocated to go to your organization and would like to see newer more user friendly technology at Gutenberg; it is available for individuals as well as institutions now. I was a prof at Harvard Uni and a director at Sothebys NYC and am now retired. If you care please see www.worldglobetrotters.com . The more you give the more people want. Thank you for all your wonderful giving work.

If you connect to http://snowy.arsc.alaska.edu/pgiso, you can query the Project Gutenberg library of electronic books based on criteria that you specify and create a CD or DVD image of electronic books. Once you specify the criteria, the system will compile the selected books into an ISO image and provide you with instructions for downloading the image to your PC. Then, you can copy the image to a blank CD or DVD and distribute copies to your friends. (If you just want to use the CD or DVD image yourself, you can search Google for a free program called IsoBuster which allows you to extract the contents of an ISO file collection to your hard disk.) Because we have yet to widely publicize this service, I am not sure how ready it is for a large number of people to try to use it simultaneously. In the meantime, however, if you are inclined, please test it out and send any feedback to the e-mail alias that is listed on the page. If you have any questions, I will do my best to answer them or I can ask others who are more knowledgeable than I. Thank you for your continued interest in Project Gutenberg.

system ready for prime time... I think
by Aaron Cannon 12 Jan '06

12 Jan '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello all. I believe that the request system is once again ready to go live. As I've mentioned previously, we switched things over to MySQL. This means that things will likely be more stable as far as data storage and retrieval is concerned, but it also means that we have to recreate the login info. To get access to the system, please send me an email with the e-mail address you would like to use on the system, and I will send you your password and the location of the request system. I haven't yet started accepting requests. I want to get the requests which were lost taken care of first. When you log in, remember that we are using data from when the system was at www.gutenberg.org. If you had requests checked out, you have probably already fulfilled them and checked them back in. If so, let me know which ones they are so I can move them into the completed queue. Please don't move them your selves, as this will cause an email to be sent to the person, telling them that their discs have been sent. If you haven't fulfilled the requests you checked out, then feel free to fulfill them and check them in as complete, or return them to the queue, as you see fit. If you have records of what requests you've completed since the request system was moved to snowy, please let me know what they are so we don't send discs to anyone who has already received them. Thanks! Sincerely Aaron Cannon P.S. The CSV and TXT generators don't yet work, but they should be up and running by late this evening. - -- E-mail: cannona(a)fireantproductions.com Skype: cannona MSN Messenger: cannona(a)hotmail.com (Do not send E-mail to the hotmail address.) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (MingW32) - GPGrelay v0.959 Comment: Key available from all major key servers. iD8DBQFDxa0vI7J99hVZuJcRAm6YAJ4mmt/CYiEBLOLBX6dPoNyFrlICPACfb58e UEHFd4Ffp0Tgkri4/00tU+Y= =jzqj -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

another update
by Aaron Cannon 10 Jan '06

10 Jan '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello all. Things are progressing faster than I dared hope. The login, logout, view, and mod scripts are upgraded. This leaves only the script that lets you edit records, and the csv and txt generators. I hope to have us back online by Thursday. The sorting problems seen in the last version are fixed (undoubtedly because we're now using the sorting routines from MySQL instead of ones of my own design) and things seem to be working much faster. If you have any requests for features, now is the time to mention them. If you've suggested something in the past, feel free to ask again, as I have probably forgotten. Again, I'll keep you all posted.
