Discussion of what is or is not an "ebook" I leave to others. PG's submission standards have been discussed/described/argued about in other threads in this forum. There's more information in PG's various FAQ's at http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Category:FAQ. I can't speak to questions about PG's software and the maintenance thereof. Al

To the point--and, to _a_ point, informative. So I, or others, can submit ebooks. But, are we clear about _what_ an ebook is?
Is plain text (a primary format) an ebook? Is marked-up text (RST, zml, xml, etc)--a secondary format)--an ebook? And which of the 'final' formats (html. epub, mobi, etc) are acceptable ebook formats?
And then there are questions about contributions to software maintenance and development: any guidelines there?
The real point of BB's question, I think, was that no understanding or consensus has emerged about PG's policies, preferences and requirements. Others may well know, but I do not. I wanna help, but I also want to be told _how_.
