The other day I noticed that DP has recently uploaded a reworking of Frankenstein (#41445), the 12th most downloaded "work" on PG. I am assuming that it wasn't cross-checked against #84, so I've started the process of doing this.
I've done the quick and easy bit and now have the text rewrapped to the images. I would like to get these files uploaded to #41445's fileset - they are sitting at:
https://github.com/JonHurst/frankenstein
If you want to just get a zip file rather than use git use:
https://github.com/JonHurst/frankenstein/archive/master.zip
I'm not sure what the protocol for doing this is, beyond it being "supported and encouraged" to have the scans present in the fileset of a given "expression" -- Greg, please let me know what you would like to do.
You're saying you have the page scans that were used to make #41445, but they were not provided as part of the original file upload? Usually, scans come from whoever submitted the rest of the book. The only trick is there is a naming convention for the filenames. Did you already do that (sorry, I did not look at the files mentioned above)? There is a page at www.pgdp.net (somewhere) that describes the naming convention. I have it somewhere, too. If so, just get in touch with the WWer who posted the files, to arrange delivery. If you don't know who this is, or none of this makes sense, email me directly or email pgww@lists.pglaf.org Thanks! -- Greg
I've also taken the opportunity to knock up a very simplistic viewer interface to help errata reporters etc. This is at:
http://www.hursts.eclipse.co.uk/viewer.html
Make sure it has finished loading before you try to view a page image or you will end up opening the image in a new tab rather than next to the text. As I said, it's very simplistic. If there is some way that PG could host a more advanced version of this viewer it would certainly make checking errata a lot easier.
I am intending to do the cross-checking with #84 at some point over the next month or so, so I'll send any errata once I'm done. I would also quite like to do a LaTeX version in order to produce A5 and Kindle sized PDFs with decent typography -- would PG be willing to host these?
