Does anybody have a serious objection to putting the 8,000, or so, books that were listed earlier as being in limbo, in something like our "PrePrints" section, where we put eBooks that are admittedly not ready for prime time???
Yea, there are people arguing that it's a horrible thing to do. I'm 100% with you on this. Available with a few errors is far more useful than unavailable. And it's not that they aren't actually available now, they are. DP has always had the concatenated text available for download. It's behind a sign on and not indexed by any of the search engines, so if you don't know it's there already you can't find it.
What's the URL? I could set up a nightly mirror... Do they automatically disappear from this area, after they are finally published? -- Greg
