Re: [gutvol-d] Digital Library of India

I just came across this great site/idea: http://gutenberg.cc/Public.htm Perhaps http://dli.ernet.in can be just added there as a link ? I do know Tamil and a little bit of Hindi(used to read a long time ago but out of touch). However, this project is directly financed by the Govt. of India, with several persons of repute contributing their time/expertise. Hence, I expect this project to grow quite significantly. Even a few volunteers can't keep up with this project.

But Project Gutenberg is, as far as I can tell, pretty much of the "if you want it done, you'd better do it yourself" mindset (which is fine by me). In other words, don't expect someone else to do it if you don't want to.
