Is anyone here interested in helping to work out details of what we consider an "affiliated project"? I would like to do this as long as I have someone else to bounce ideas off of. I think it would be ideal to have a loose affiliation of projects with similar goals, particularly as there are an increasing number of websites out there focusing on individual languages that would be worth being centrally linked in one place. In the English-language wikipedia article on Project Gutenberg, there was some disagreement recently about what should be included in the list of "affiliated projects", partly because I think we don't really have a clear definition here. Although, as Greg mentions, the gray areas are where the challenge is. Andrew On Sun, 19 Mar 2006, Greg Newby wrote:
I really like the idea of having rotating ads for DP, the various PG affiliates, ibiblio, and our other clearly-defined "partners" (at one level or another, see http://www.gutenberg.org/links).
Maybe you could work on this, Marcello? No need to delay, and we already have a few banner graphics for both DP & PG. In fact, I remember we used to lead with an occasionally-rotating graphic.
I'd be in favor of some clear criteria for other organizations. Including Wikipedia would be nice. Places like the Linux Fund. But it's hard to draw a line. For such organizations to submit artwork and request being added to our rotating banner would be a wonderful service that PG could provide. But those criteria are a little sticky...
