Interesting... Can any of those sites be raided for content to bolster our German titles? (I can't read German, so my checking directly wouldn't do me any good!)

Also, the numbers below (taken from the catalog) show that, although PG's non-english content can certainly be expanded, it is not insignificant: French (367) German (307) Finnish (85) Chinese (69) Spanish (59) Italian (36)
Not too bad. German is "slow" because many good texts are available elsewhere. It starts with http://gutenberg.spiegel.de; continues with sites dedicated to special authors like Karl May, Arno Schmidt, Novalis, or Georg Simmel; and does not end with digitizing projects located at Universities (Göttingen, Trier, München, Bielefeld, Innsbruck). Especially the Austrian project (alo - austrian literature online: http://www.literature.at/) is very interesting even if seem to offer only PDF "for free".

I forwarded this directly to our German Team leader to check for us. Also, anyone interested might also want to take a look at Gunther Hille's for the Gutenberg Projekt-DE mh [DE is the German abbr. for Germany]

At least, you can use theirs texts for comparison purposes. Some of them are "hidden" behind web interfaces (frames/javascript) and highly fragmented...

Gutenberg-DE is now to be found unter http://gutenberg.spiegel.de. -- | ,__o | _-\_<, http://www.gnu.franken.de/ke/ | (*)/'(*)
