The PG website lists the most downloaded books first. If people don't download your `better proofed, better illustrated´ version, then there is something wrong with it.
It takes a pretty sophisticated user of PG, like probably someone who has actually created books for PG, to understand that a more recent version, and therefore one that has been downloaded LESS, is probably going to be the better quality effort for people to read. Why yes, there IS something "wrong" with that "better proofed, better illustrated" version: namely that PG continues to denigrate that new version and continues to "advertise" the old defective version. This is a self-defeating strategy: PG says it wants volunteers to rework the old and crufty versions -- but then makes sure that almost no customer actually reads these newly decrufted versions!
