Hi. I'm getting the email from this list but am not sure if I'm able to send to the list. Anyway, I've been working on a DVD. I've got 3500 of your HTML files on it organized into 21 different genres. It's *everything* under the sun, but from my own editorial stance, I'm most interested in Christian sermons, scifi, old sea tales, and the (US) Civil War, so there might be too much in those genres there for some's taste. At one point I was trying to avoid controversial material (eugenics, slavery, women's suffrage), but then thought it would be more valuable to include all kinds of viewpoints, even ones universally understood to be wrong today. The files are HTML, which i find to be the best way to read the material. I've stressed those files which are <1MB, but of course granting waivers to image-rich classics like Beatrix Potter's work. I've seen the DVD you put out with 19000 zipped txt files on it. That DVD probably the thing you want to have in every home basement in case civilization needs to survive a nuclear war, but it's not very user friendly. I entitled mine, "Some of the Best of Project Gutenberg." So, I'm planning to start distributing it to all my friends and every local nursing home. But I'd gladly give the current draft up to your group under a CC zero license.
