Related project of interest: Librivox
I happened to hear Hugh McGuire interviewed on CBC Radio One yesterday. He was talking about an interesting project that I hadn't previously known. I though I'd mention it here in case anyone else is interested: http://www.librivox.org/ LibriVox volunteers record chapters of books in the public domain, and then we release the audio files back onto the net (podcast and catalog). Our objective is to make all books in the public domain available, for free, in audio format on the internet. We are a totally volunteer, open source, free content, public domain project. ============================================================ Gardner Buchanan <gbuchana@rogers.com> Ottawa, ON FreeBSD: Where you want to go.

It's a good project, and we've been working with Hugh (in fact, they're already linked from our "links and affiliates" page). We're working to redistribute some of their content, too. Yes, they're like-minded with PG! -- Greg
They seem to be popular too. I bookmarked them on del.ici.ous and 317 other people have bookmarked them as well. Would seem to be an excellent PG partner. -brandon On 2/4/06, Greg Newby <gbnewby@pglaf.org> wrote:
