Copying the existing sites from PG-USA or PG-AUS is a poor way to get a website up. Their sites are static and hell to maintain. I personally have no intention of building yet another headache. If we can wait a few days, I'll be back home and we can get something better going.
Don't know about the site structure itself, but there are certainly a good many PG-US and PG-Aus titles which will qualify for inclusion in a PG-Can site; and many of them, at least on PG-US, are actually CanCon.
So whatever the structure, I do hope we'll pilfer the content for all it's worth! ;)
Setting up a system for the exchange of "life +50" eBooks should go a long way to helping gather content for all it's worth. . . . We have already purchased the domain name pgcc50.net for this purpose, and any of you are welcome to it. PGCC = Project Gutenberg Consortia Center or Project Gutenberg Copyright Center Clearinghouse. . .or whatever you decide. Again. . .my HUGE thanks!!!!!!! Michael
