Jon, if you're willing to do the preparation by hand (perhaps following some of our earlier models, linked from http://gutenberg.org/audio), I could pre-allocate some eBook #s to use. If you could get me just one .zip with everything pre-configured, it would be very easy for me to upload. Oh, and a standard "posted" email message, too.
At least a dozen or so items from literalsystems.org are also ready to be brought in, if anyone is inspired to do these. These audio eBooks are actually very popular, and the human readings often get complimented. (The computer-generated readings are not nearly so popular, but still surprisingly popular.) I just wish there were enough hours in the day for me to work through all of these pending items, or someone else interested enough to take the lead (hint, hint).
Thanks for the reply. I'll look into the preparation you require. The ultimate aim is that all Librivox material would be uploaded to Project Gutenberg, in addition to the Internet Archive, which is the current destination. Ideally this would be done in a fairly automated way. Emailing the files is probably out, as they're quite large (128kbit MP3, so approximately 1 meg per minute of audio). Is there any mechanism for uploading them to a server in the same way that normal texts are uploaded to PG? -- Jon Ingram
