Project Gutenberg does not encourage deep linking to our Web site and, in some cases, has actively discouraged it. But a link to the main page, http://www.gutenberg.net, would be most welcome, and will help to distribute our free electronic texts.
This, I think, does not reflect "common usage". There are millions of deep links into the PG site, directly to the files or into the old (Pietro's) search page.
I disagree. Common usage at content sites, such as online newspapers, is for links directly to content to work for awhile, then to stop working as part of the document management process.
I meant common usage for PG and sites linking to PG.
I didn't know about this one. Another reason to write a linking policy (you are guessing who I will nominate to write it, yes?).
I will write one ... later. -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.net
