Yes, it's down again. I'm not sure I see how this would fix anything. You still have the PPers at the crossroads with the (somewhat doubtful) requirement they will accept the opportunity to become intimately familiar with XML. At DP, the cost of doing something is measured in volunteer inconvenience.As a consequence, change is not embraced with much enthusiasm, nor is measurement nor personal responsibility, and responsibility tends to be provided by software coercion.

That is very short-sighted. The inconvenience for the volunteer should be balanced against the usefulness for the reader. The mindset at PG and DP is that everybody being volunteers they don't have to account for the quality of their work. -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
