help finalizing the January 2010 DVD
Hi all. Finally, the DVD is all but done. I just need some help from folks more qualified than I with these last few items: 1. Editorial help: I need a few eyes to look over the main page and other content in the root directory of the DVD. I'm looking for suggestions on spelling/grammar changes, as well as suggestions for text that should be added. 2. Design help. I need someone who knows HTML and especially CSS to create a CSS file for the DVD. None of the HTML elements have class attributes, but I can add those easily. Just tell me where you want them. Also, if other changes need to be made to the HTML, again just let me know what. I believe all of the pages validate, but if you find any that don't, please let me know. 3. Image help. This has 3 parts: A. Some sort of image should probably be added to the main page on the DVD, and optionally to the tops of all of the HTML pages on the disc. Again, just send me the code to add, and I will add it to each page. You don't need to edit all 30,000 files your self. B. It would be nice to have a small .ico file created so that the DVD will display an icon when inserted into a Windows computer. Also, if anyone knows how to do the same for Macs, that would be great. C. There is a DVD label which was created for the original Project Gutenberg DVD. It needs to be updated for this new DVD. ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/images/GutenbergDVDCover.psd Also see ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/images/GutenbergCD-DVDCover.png You can download a .tar.bz2 file containing all of the content on the DVD minus the books themselves at http://fireantproductions.com/dvdindexes.tar.bz2 It's about 5MB. If you don't have a way to open .tar.bz2 files, you can download the much larger .zip version of the same thing: http://fireantproductions.com/dvdindexes.zip (about 25MB) or you can browse the content online at http://fireantproductions.com/dvd/ Thanks in advance!

Hi Aaron. On 3.c, the PSD just has a flat bitmap in it. Kind of unfortunate that it doesn't have the text on a separate layer. If you can tell me what you want the new text to say, I can change it. Let me know. Aaron Cannon wrote:

Hi. Thanks for your help with this. I'm not sure what it should say. What does it say now? I don't have photoshop, so I can't open it, and I'm blind so I couldn't read it even if I did. :) Thanks! Aaron On 1/16/10, Gardner Buchanan <gbuchana@teksavvy.com> wrote:

Here's some artwork for 3.A... If folks like it, I can provide in multiple resolutions and PSD originals. Aaron Cannon wrote:
