Just an update on my cooperative proofreading site (http://www.ebookcooperative.com/). 1. The Java servlets are now connected to CVS, so any changes you make will be persisted to the file system. 2. Registration is now required to proof read pages (just your identity is currently required). This identity is used to add comments to CVS so we can see who changed things. 3. The proofreading system tracks progress, so if you go half-way through a project, exit, and return at some time later and choose the same project you will be taken to the last page you were viewing. 4. Some new projects were added. The project table is generated from a database of projects; no editing of web pages is required. The Kupu-based UI is still a little rough; that will probably be the last thing I tackle. I have not yet written the proofing guidelines. The next step will be to create a servlet that will allow downloading an entire e-book by combining all the pages from the repository into a single file. As always, feedback is welcomed.

Now completed. It is unlikely that I will make any further bulk changes to the source documents associated with any projects; feel free to make any corrections you feel appropriate. As I populate the database with more projects, I would like to focus on the PG "Frankentexts," that is to say, those texts in Project Gutenberg which appear to be stitched together from multiple, unspecified sources. The classic example of this is, of course, the PG edition of _Frankenstein_. Are there other instances I should be aware of?
As always, feedback is welcomed.
