Re: [gutvol-d] Digital Library of India

      This is certainly good policy. I was just sharing general suggestions/ideas.

I am a newbie to this project. Heard of it over two years ago or so, started using it a few weeks ago. Then joined the mailing list. Now I really like the idea behind this project.

For now I made 10 extra CDs of the Best E-Books ISO and intend to share with those close to me who will enjoy/surely use it. I also intend to promote this product by word of mouth (for eg., what did you do over the weekend ? I read a great novel for free, (then provide the link etc.,) and also on the net on message discussions. There are still so many who are not aware of this project, including some students that I have met.

If each of us encourage one person every week or every month(I plan to do this) to use the Gutenberg Project and he/she in turn encourages others the same way, then I feel automatically there will be more volunteers/resources for this project.

Down the road, if I have the time and resources I will certainly do my best to contribute more in other areas.

<ago but out of touch). However, this project is directly financed by the Govt. of India, with several persons of repute contributing their time/expertise. Hence, I expect this project to grow quite significantly. Even a few volunteers can't keep up with this project.>> Perhaps not. But Project Gutenberg is, as far as I can tell, pretty much of the "if you want it done, you'd better do it yourself" mindset (which is fine by me). In other words, don't expect someone else to do it if you don't want to.
