Book Submission Requirements
A couple of weeks ago there ws a post here that included the instructions for submitting a book in the case where it did not go through DP. Listed requirements lik??e Guiguts etc. However when I look at www.gutenberg.org the only requirement I see on the submissions page is to be W3C validated if html. Am I missing something and where can I find the full requirements. ?? N Wolcott nwolcott2@post.harvard.edu
Hi Norm I took a quick look through the FAQ (http://www.gutenberg.org/faq/) and didn't find a particular list. I would say more information than you need is there, perhaps just spread out a bit. I seem to recall a post-processors faq at DP that might be useful for your purposes. In my experience, each text has its own oddities and quirks, and what I check for depends directly on those. (For example, a text I'm working through right now has two distinctly different types of side-notes.) On Mon, 9 May 2005, N Wolcott wrote:

Other folks already mentioned that there is a lot on formatting etc. in the FAQ at http://gutenberg.org/faq Also, DP has lots of tips on formatting. The reason you're not seeing much info about submitting items is that the first step, always, is getting copyright clearance. You'll see that http://copy.pglaf.org has some of the info you want. In the clearance emails we send out, it mentions http://upload.pglaf.org , which is where all new contributions go. That has some more detail on the pragmatic issues of getting the file(s) submitted. It's intentional that we try to get people to start with a copyright clearance, and don't go into detail on where to send the completed work until after the clearance has been processed. As always, suggestions or ideas are welcome! -- Greg

Thanks. The upload page has the deetailed requirements. the faq on the top page of gutenberg.org should perhaps mention that tools for cleaning up your text are available etc. The faq makes it all sound so simple, just giving general guidelines, and should mention the upload page for detailed requirements. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Greg Newby" <gbnewby@pglaf.org> To: "Project Gutenberg Volunteer Discussion" <gutvol-d@lists.pglaf.org> Sent: Monday, May 09, 2005 1:11 PM Subject: Re: [gutvol-d] Book Submission Requirements the submissions page is to be W3C validated if html.
