For these purposes, a simple system that links a PG etext with its page scans suffice.
A djvu multi-page archive posted into the ebook directory would suffice.
The problem with DjVu is that there are no Windows-based encoders. I know you like to disparage Windows users, Marcello! ;) But the fact of the matter is that the vast majority of our volunteers are using Windows. Without tools on their platform, we lose a huge section of our "workforce" and something this big will need that workforce. The only alternative that I can think of would be to have a DjVu encoder running as a webpage script on pglaf.org or somewhere similar. The volunteer could specify a single .zip with all the images in it, the server would break it apart, run the DjVu encoder on the bitmaps, and then spit back out the DjVu file. JHutch
