I fixed about a dozen bugs and made about the same number of improvements in the request processor and have added it to the cd project page. If anyone wants to take another look, you can visit http://www.gutenberg.org/cdproject/ . Then click on either the international or United States form. It's still ok to test, just make sure you say so in the comments field. Most of the improvements were in data validation. However, I also changed the program so that now, in addition to E-mailing the request to cd@pglaf.org, it writes the data to a flat file. This is a good thing, because it will allow us to eventually make things more distributed. What I envision is a system where volunteers can log on to a web page at Gutenberg.org and checkout requests, somewhat like the Distributed Proofing site. It shouldn't be too hard to implement. I've also been working on getting access to the PG database, so that we can start compiling a new CD and DVD image. If anyone has experience with parsing RDF/XML in Perl, I could use your help. To give you all an idea of the current size of the archive, here's a breakdown of file types and their total size in bytes. fk_filetypes | fk_compressions | files | bytes --------------+-----------------+-------+------------- ? | none | 1 | 6148 ? | zip | 56 | 1158610659 avi | zip | 1 | 9671667 css | none | 73 | 129309 doc | none | 5 | 16335360 doc | zip | 5 | 3530238 dvi | gz | 1 | 145672 eps | none | 5 | 667758 eps | zip | 1 | 50481 gif | none | 3038 | 61544329 gif | zip | 3 | 820419 html | none | 3826 | 1289404590 html | zip | 3578 | 3726062915 index | none | 339 | 882064 iso | none | 277 | 4852684800 iso | zip | 1 | 388439680 jpg | none | 26280 | 1947495197 jpg | zip | 3 | 1928065 license | none | 23 | 253207 lit | none | 57 | 5728949 lit | zip | 55 | 4477759 ly | none | 9 | 59063 ly | zip | 1 | 2423 md5 | none | 4 | 15020 mid | none | 46 | 3195924 mid | zip | 7 | 574353 mp3 | none | 12751 | 93537630338 mp3 | zip | 54 | 1717503076 mpg | none | 4 | 16441408 mpg | zip | 7 | 30644113 mus | none | 9 | 1853407 mus | zip | 8 | 4154954 nfo | none | 1 | 4222976 nfo | zip | 1 | 3063405 pageimages | zip | 1 | 12875805 pdf | none | 93 | 117202451 pdf | zip | 37 | 47006708 png | none | 10897 | 779262971 prc | none | 54 | 7266524 prc | zip | 55 | 8775500 ps | none | 5 | 17086684 ps | zip | 1 | 4210628 qt | none | 1 | 1399639 qt | zip | 1 | 7758161 readme | none | 573 | 9154766 readme | zip | 3 | 6718762 rtf | none | 41 | 47205486 rtf | zip | 53 | 28563481 sib | none | 38 | 1799503 sib | zip | 5 | 904124 svg | none | 2 | 24120 tex | none | 24 | 10556350 tex | zip | 29 | 6468205 tiff | none | 34 | 9129666 tr | zip | 1 | 2591514 txt | none | 17253 | 14194087555 txt | zip | 17200 | 4711928510 wav | none | 2 | 29144452 xml | none | 47 | 111411597 xml | zip | 42 | 25677549 xsl | none | 14 | 345476 | none | 115 | 25679187 | rar | 23 | 338860727 | zip | 49 | 583288192 (64 rows) As you can see, we're going to have to leave a lot off of any DVD we create. The big question is what gets kept and what gets excluded. Even if we only include zipped HTML and zipped text, we're still over budget. Of course, there's always the possibility that we could create two images, a volume 1 and a volume 2, or something similar. Thoughts?
