I can give you an account to edit any of the EB articles using any of the various wp editors, including RST, markdown, and the customized one I'm using with my own toolbar on it.
don, i'd love to play with it. -bowerbird
I have what might be a better idea. Let's see if Greg will let me install a clone on one of his servers. It's 100% generic LAMP with canned installs through the certified distribution mechanisms. On Thu, Feb 2, 2012 at 11:44 AM, <Bowerbird@aol.com> wrote:

And I'd better not hear from anyone that WordPress doesn't scale. :)

Wordpress doesn't scale. It may be good at editing news-article-sized bits but it will fall down when editing book-sized bits. Alone the time required to upload 1MB from your browser's editor ... -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
You're the one whose design requires dealing in whole-book-sized units of work. It's much more reasonable from a number of perspectives to work at a page level or a chapter level or a paragraph level, all of which I can do. Part of the difficulty PG has with ebooks is that PG has no conceptual mechanism for dealing with chapters. And I haven't heard you propose that you are adding one. Did you try google "wordpress scale"? On Thu, Feb 2, 2012 at 12:34 PM, Marcello Perathoner <marcello@perathoner.de

You are right. We should store books as pages! Why didn't I think of that before? So to find and fix a typo you only have to grep 500 files instead of one. That will give us a big performance boost. -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
Your sarcastic humor is overwhelming. I hope you can think of better ways than that. On Thu, Feb 2, 2012 at 11:59 PM, Marcello Perathoner <marcello@perathoner.de

Hi Marcello, If you do know how to precompile such data, naturally not with grep, yet with 1000 times the speed, you know nothing about computer science. a simple matrix will do! (no, not a 2 dimensional matrix) if you grep for every search request then you are wasting resources! regards Keith. Am 03.02.2012 um 08:59 schrieb Marcello Perathoner:
