A suggestion from a CD/DVD requester
I received a response to one of the automated messages generated by the CD/DVD fulfillment system. The note mentioned Digit, said to be the leading computer magazine in India, which is distributed each month with two CDs of content. I am of the opinion that my correspondent thinks that we could possibly distribute the Project Gutenberg CD through this magazine. I looked very briefly at their web site www.thinkdigit.com. It looks to me like an Indian version of PC World or another similar magazine. The monthly CDs appear to be a compilation of different resources, not the sole product of any one source. I doubt that we would want to, or could afford to, advertise in such a magazine. If they mentioned us, we would very likely be Slashdotted with an overwhelming number of requests. I'm passing this along because I said I would. Any thoughts? Have a great day! John Hagerson
You are right about the number of requests! In the three weeks I have been a
PG DVD Volunterr, I have noticed that even without such advertisement, there
are more requestors from India then anywhere else. Since I am originally
from India, it doesn't surprise me at all.
And I am surprised that there are not more requests from the Billion people
of China!
Anybody know, does India have more people connected on the Internet then
China?
