-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I'm new to the Gutenberg project and I think it's awesome, so much information, literature, on-line, for free. The only thing I don't like is the format, plain text doesn't seem very good for storing books. Then some books are in HTML, that's even worst. I personally prefeer DocBook[1] for storing books. For those of you that doesn't know what DocBook is: it is an xml-based format designed exclusively for storing books where no information about how the book will be seen in a graphical screen is stored but information about what things are. It has tags for separating chapters, appendices, prefaces, parts, books (in sets of books), etc. This is not just a complain. I'd like to know if you'd be intrested in adopting DocBook, at least as one of the possible formats (being that DocBooks can be turned easily into HTML, PDF and Plain text [2], I would recomend DocBook as the main format); if so, I'm willing to donate some of my time to the cause in researching and developing a way to offer DocBooks (specially, how the current books can be turned into DocBook). If you'd like to know more about this, I already have some ideas but I didn't want to write a kilometer long email, just tell me and I'll elaborate more. Thank you. - -- Pupeno: pupeno@pupeno.com - http://www.pupeno.com Reading Science Fiction ? http://sfreaders.com.ar [1] http://www.docbook.org [2] Take a look to Science Fiction Reader's library: http://sfreaders.com.ar/library , all the files except the DocBooks are automatically created. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFB3OPpfW48a9PWGkURAmajAJ4wlsRAIR+bN5hnv8jZiB/pS1pbgwCfYElo v0dlFn9z+fjGXenXOWffI90= =4sRX -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
