I've offered this before, and maybe it got lost in the chaff of previous messages and threads, so I'll offer it up again. If anyone wants to feel free to discuss issues related to Project Gutenberg, ebooks, conversions, tools, bugs, the weather, or whatever else in "real-time", they can join our network to do so. I run an irc network that is dedicated to developer-related support issues on various projects, and I would like to extend that invitation to include Project Gutenberg as well. Feel free to join the channel #gutenberg or #project.gutenberg on our network... (irc.sourcefubar.net) and talk about any of the current, past, future, or whatever events you'd like, related to PG and other similar projects and products. We have redundant tri-coastal links, so the network will not "split" or go down like (cough) other similar networks. We also offer ssl-only ports, for those who wish to make sure their conversations are "secured". Many project teams use our network for exactly that purpose, in private, secured channels to discuss issues related to their projects. If you join the same network on port 994, and configure your client appropriately (making sure to get the validated cert from cacert.org), you will be able to talk securely from client-to-server, without the feer of snooping. These are exciting times, and I hope to see everyone there! Can someone with authority publicize this on PG's website? Welcome aboard! David A. Desrosiers desrod@gnu-designs.com http://gnu-designs.com
