The other day I noticed that DP has recently uploaded a reworking of Frankenstein (#41445), the 12th most downloaded "work" on PG. I am assuming that it wasn't cross-checked against #84, so I've started the process of doing this.
I've done the quick and easy bit and now have the text rewrapped to the images. I would like to get these files uploaded to #41445's fileset - they are sitting at:
https://github.com/JonHurst/frankenstein
If you want to just get a zip file rather than use git use:
https://github.com/JonHurst/frankenstein/archive/master.zip
I'm not sure what the protocol for doing this is, beyond it being "supported and encouraged" to have the scans present in the fileset of a given "expression" -- Greg, please let me know what you would like to do.
You're saying you have the page scans that were used to make #41445, but they were not provided as part of the original file upload?
Usually, scans come from whoever submitted the rest of the book.
The only trick is there is a naming convention for the filenames. Did you already do that (sorry, I did not look at the files mentioned above)? There is a page at www.pgdp.net (somewhere) that describes the naming convention. I have it somewhere, too.
If so, just get in touch with the WWer who posted the files, to arrange delivery. If you don't know who this is, or none of this makes sense, email me directly or email pgww@lists.pglaf.org
Thanks!
The page images are from a "photo-reprint" of the 1818 Lacking, Hughes, et al. edition, which, judging by the scans, is code for microfiche/microfilm. They're at DP for now, and when archived will end up at OLS. http://www.pgdp.net/c/project.php?id=projectID508470307d6dd
Weren't there discussions at some point on automated or semi-automated uploading of DP scansets to PG? They all get archived, even the ones that aren't publicly displayed at OLS because of politeness/permission issues.
Yes, at my request. This discussion first happened in 2004, with me, Juliet Sutherland & Charles Franks. Suffice to say that DP has not adopted the process yet. Most individual uploaders don't provide their scans either. -- Greg
