As I am looking up authors etc. for the PG online catalog, and just generally browsing, I seem to be constantly running into more websites that have transcribed material that could be added to PG. With a little effort, I could make a list for you of dozens of sites, with thousands of books that could be adapted. However, getting copyright clearance, and reformatting these is perhaps not as "glamarous" as Distributed Proofreading, so it does not attract as many people. :) Though I already have too many different PG projects I'm in the middle of, I would be willing to help if you'd like to start processing some of these texts.

samples. Finally, are any of these going to eventually make it to the main PG site? Some are public domain and there is no reason why they can't be part of PG except for possible layout and pdf issues.
Nothing will make it to the main PG site without "someone" doing the work! But most of the public domain content is already on pgcc.net , so it's not going to go away after August 4.
