That seems like a collosal waste of time.
It's not your time, or much of our time, it is the time of voluneers who have asked to do this project, and there have been multiple requests.
I agree. However, Jared was basically asking for comment on the idea, which I provided. Personally, I see it as effort that would be better spent elsewhere. I am the last person to dictate how a volunteer should snpend his/her time, though (since I'm sure plenty of people see TEI as a waste of time as well, which is my pet project).
I apologize, Jared, if I sounded like I was trying to stop you from working on this. I was simply stating my opinion of the project.
Wouldn't it be easier to just create a web page that listed the original names in the original directory structure, and then linked to the current book, wherever it is. It wouldn't require as much space as a full copy of all the books, and would probably be easier to keep in sync with any updated files.
