I had no idea the process would be as difficult as it turned out to be.
did you do any research about it first? where did your expectations come from? and since i know some of your false-starts, james, i think it's absolutely clear that project gutenberg needs to do a much better job of explaining this... sending people to d.p. is an _awful_ strategy, since the workflow there works so badly for independents. and, as i have shown, i developed a good workflow over 5 years ago, and documented it exhaustively... who else here -- besides james, in his book on it -- has done _anything_ to also describe and document? remember, putting "describe and document workflow" on a checklist _does_not_count_ as satisfying the task. unless, of course, your only task is to make a checklist. -bowerbird
