However, if you are ok with it, perhaps you might consider coding something to distribute the work of adding subject data to the catalog, unless something already exists for this. Should we issue a call for volunteers for this project? While we've got people working on the catalog, are there other improvements that could be made by a distributed effort?
There is a web interface to the catalog and a group of volunteers working on the catalog but updating subject data is not one of their top priorities right now. There are a lot of errors to fix first and many other informations are missing too. But, in due time, subject data will be fixed. I propose to use what data is in the catalog now. "Language", "Category" , "File Type" and "Top 100" are very reliable. So we could build a "Foreign Languages", "Human Read Audio Books", "Illustrated Works" or "Best Of" CD. Of course, having many different CD types, we will have to ship more CDs. So better make sure we have the resources. -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
