Re: [gutvol-d] it's monday, after noon, let's get the crowdsourcing started

My suggestion, start with etext03 (etexts 3601-4800).
that's a consideration. let's see what greg says... and what the other teams in the tournament say. looks like so far it's:
1. bowerbird. 2. marcello. 3. lee with dkretz second in line right behind him. 4. jim "j-mad" adcock. 5. john "limpid" redmond. 6. keith. 7. karl eichwalder. 8. hunter "don't forget guiguts" monroe. 9. carlo "garweyne" traverso, and his students.
no offense intended if i left anyone out, just let us know. and if you're listed, but don't want to play, please say so. 3601-4800 would be 1200 books... if we want to cut that number down -- at least for the opening round -- i suggest 4321-4567 -- about 250... that's enough to weed non-contenders. it strikes me that, with e-text numbers this low, this'll be a clean-up job rather than an exercise in how to generate better derivative file-formats, which is what i think greg was aiming at, but i'm ready to go with the consensus of the tournament. al, you'll need to point us to _canonical_versions_ of these books -- preferably at internet archive, or someplace where you can furnish us with scans -- so we're all working toward the same end-product. -bowerbird p.s. oh, and all you other teams, please take all of your preparation plans elsewhere; we don't need to hear 'em. the proof will be in the pudding -- where it _always_ is... unless, that is, you want to amuse us with your fumbling.
Note that not all texts 3601-4800 are in etext03. I reposted a lot of them into the new folder structure a couple of years ago. What's left is a mixture of nasties, foreign language, copyrighted, etc. Any done by still-current producers (David Price, David Widger, etc) shouldn't be touched.

Hi BB, I never said I was a contender. Besides, where are the specifications. regards Keith. Am 31.01.2012 um 00:22 schrieb Bowerbird@aol.com:

al, you'll need to point us to _canonical_versions_ of these books -- preferably at internet archive, or someplace where you can furnish us with scans -- so we're all working toward the same end-product.
