And the volunteer is ready. I volunteered nearly two months ago to take up this task and am simply waiting on various action items from a few people. Charles always intended to have the scans from DP available to the general public whenever possible. Whoopee, this is great!! Yippee-ei-ayyyyyyyy!! -- Greg
Er, before you guys get all insane about it (yeah, too late, I know), allow me to clarify that I was speaking only of Charles "OLS" and not of loading page image scans to PG.
Aha....well, I guess my offer of uploading stuff to the gutenberg.org server for already-completed titles is just for those who don't work through DP (still a substantial portion of new titles). Perhaps also for those DPers who want to try working in advance of the larger push you described. I probably have a record of OLS somewhere in my archives, but hadn't looked recently. Is this public at all? It didn't quite work for me (I got a bunch of blank pages for the title I tried), but it would be quite valuable. I presume that since you didn't provide a URL, I shouldn't either.. When are items added to this?
All DP content providers should be aware that as long as their page images are in the "archive" then DP can coordinate a mass push of ALL eligible page image content to PG. This is contingent on getting the archived DP files in order, a task which I have yet to ascertain the size of.
Yes, that might take a little more coordination to do it en masse. -- Greg
