The Project Gutenberg Philosophy Concerning Orwellian History Rewriting While Encylcopedia Britannica has made it obvious on multiple occasions that they are embarrassed by references to their 11th edition, which is largely regarded as one of the seminal marks in refence materials, this attitude is not shared by others who would not approve of the Orwellian rewriting of history to make it appear as if Britannica had always been in possession of the facts it presents today and never had written from points of view that have now been become politically incorrect, or even discredited in more recent times. However, there are at least a dozen or two very outspoken volunteers at Project Gutenberg among a dozen or two thousand of such volunteers, who would prefer to delete many of the original Project Gutenberg eBooks in favor of replacing them with something else, as opposed to just working on them to bring them up to the standards of the modern era of eBooks. Shakespeare Compared To Britannica Shakepeare Donated by The World Library, The Earliest CD of eBooks 11 years ago Project Gutenberg received a donation of a "Complete Works of William Shakespeare," in their Folio format, which Project Gutenberg was then allowed to work with in plain text format to create their #100 eBook. . .a milestone of the day in which the only comparable eBook was #10, which contained both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. The project of converting the World Library files took months, and the last night a dozen volunteers burned the midnight oil in various time zones, until, at last, just as we were running out of time zones, we completed Shakespeare's Complete Works, version 1.0, December 10, 1993. Official date was listed as January, 1994, as we were a bit ahead of schedule. Today Project Gutenberg has created about 150 times as many eBooks now, as we had then, though certainly only a few of them could rival eBooks containing the complete works of Shakespeare. Actually, several eBooks of various editions of Shakespeare have been added since then with each one having those who think it is the best of the bunch, not to mention, or only quietly, that we also included the Shakespearian apocrypha, and the Biblical apocrypha as well. While there really aren't any single volumes, no matter how large, that would increase today's eLibraries by the same comparable amount as that edition of Shakespeare did 11 years ago, something such as Britannica's 11th edition would be about as comparable as possible. Now. . .the question: Would someone be willing to do all the work to donate a Britannica 11th to Project Gutenberg this year if they thought it would be removed from Project Gutenberg a decade after it was first included?
