Whether production is levelling off or not, I increasingly find one conclusion inexorable: A few thousand of us, in a few years, have produced 15,000 books. The public domain contains, say, 10 million volumes. To digitize it using our current methods in a reasonable amount of time will require a million-person volunteer force. I'm not sure how to recruit a million proofreaders, but if anyone has some good ideas for finding the next 10,000, we should listen. -- RS
