the dust has not cleared, norm.

what is necessary at this time is
a clearinghouse, where efforts to
download every set of scans that
google provides are coordinated,
so they can be made available at
a convenient place in cyberspace.

an overlap of such downloadings
will unnecessarily duplicate work,
and only piss off google, who has
already blacklisted certain people
for excessive pings.

and an uncoordinated effort will
almost certainly result in many
of the books being neglected...

project gutenberg's high profile
and history makes it a natural to
coordinate all of these efforts...
