Are we more worried about who gets credit or getting books out?
I don't mind seeing "produced by" in the intro to a book, but it is a bit odd to see people getting editor and author citations in the PG database. o__O
Some of our contributors of materials don't like that either.
The workers at Googlebooks afaics have made completely anonymous contributions-- their names aren't in the epubs. But I think we are all at a loss for not knowing the name of that lady whose lovely hand is preserved forever in so many photocopiess in their collection.
I rarely put my name on the books I work on, other than "Anonymous," unless I prepare the entire thing from end to end, and even then I'm still sometimes an "Anonymous Project Gutenberg Volunteer." It's kinda fun like that. mh
