promo.net/pg is still the second result for a Google search for "Project Gutenberg". Is there any reason why this site still exists other then as a redirect to gutenberg.org? At the moment, the top two choices are: ** <http://www.gutenberg.org/> Welcome to Project Gutenberg - Project Gutenberg PROJECT GUTENBERG OFFICIAL HOME SITE - INDEX -- Free Books On-Line ... Not knowing anything about PG, I'd be most inclined to go for the second, which is promo.net. Once opened, the promo.net site provides no indication that it is not the real PG website, and even the link to gutenberg.net is phrased such that a casual glance would make one think that promo.net/pg was the official site.

My understanding is that there is a problem with who has write permissions for those particular pages. There was some discussion of this on gutvol-d a while ago, but it was before this list was moved to pglaf.org so I don't know if you could find it archived. I have sent emails to many people who have mentioned the URL promo.net/pg on web pages or in newsgroups to let them know that the current, most correct URL is http://www.gutenberg.org/ Andrew
