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.
