One of the drawbacks of PG is that it is considered mainly a fiction/literature type collection. In this regard it is good to add some Technical Books.
While the site you link to has some interesting content, I'd prefer to see PG remain primarily a repository of public domain material -- and this in no way stops us from increasing the amount of non-fiction texts. Indeed, there are many non-fiction texts going through DP at the moment, in many subject areas, from dictionaries to bell-ringing, cookery to history. Sadly the overly long length of modern copyright terms mean that we won't see a large influx of public domain computer programming material for a while. -- Jon Ingram __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Many FSF books are copylefted. One I should definitely like to see in the collection is: Free Software Free Society selected essays of Richard M. Stallman My paper copy says: "Permission is granted to make and distribute verbatim copies of this book provided the copyright notice and this notice are preserved on all copies." -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
