The article cited makes it quite clear that this would be only for pre-1923 material, thus being no different than other periodicals DP is working on, e.g. Punch, Notes and Queries, Birds Illustrated, American Missionary, etc., etc., etc.

Subject: [gutvol-d] distributed proofreaders, bored with public domain books,switches to new york times

in a development that's received support with very little
opposition or controversy, distrib
uted proofreaders plans
to do proofing for the new york times, which is apparently
going through such a rough financial patch that they are
looking for volunteers instead of actually paying people...

ok, it's not a complete switch.  at least that's not the plan.
but since the book queues are full of b.o.c. (d.p. lingo for
"boring old crap"), how many people will linger there long?

unless i'm reading it wrong, that is.  will someone, please,
anyone!, tell me i'm reading it wrong?  please, someone...
