The new website went live this afternoon. There is some new imagery (maybe suitable for the social media pages) including icons. Please pass any bug reports to me, or this list, or direct to help2020(a)pglaf.org (which goes to me). Enjoy! - Greg

Hello social Gutenbergers
by Joshua Preston 13 Jun '20

13 Jun '20

*Intro to social media team: *Love the work you're doing at Project Gutenberg. As a fan, I'm creating interactive graphics to showcase books on Project Gutenberg. I'd love to, when possible, promote particular authors, works, celebrations (e.g. women authors in sci-fi), etc. through interactive graphics. If you have something important or new you'd like to promote, and there's data I can work with on the website, I can look at creating something. I'll keep tagging Project Gutenberg in my Tweets (through @reignbooks account) and engage with the team when appropriate and based on your interest. Thanks a bunch. *Josh Preston* *678.231.0787*

Odd social media message
by Andrew Sly 10 Jun '20

10 Jun '20

Well, this is a new one to me. I recieved messages via PG's Facebook page, from someone wanting to report a "copyright violation", because images from "What Bird is that" http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/31751 are being used in someone's book on Amazon. *Shrug* I responded explaining that we don't claim new copyright on books we release. --Andrew

Italy situation
by Greg Newby 24 May '20

I've received some correspondence from people watching our FB & Twitter about issues with some people in Italy reaching PG. Feel free to use this email list to share information. Below is a generic response I have sent to people who contact the helpdesk. - Greg Project Gutenberg has received reports that some visitors from Italy are being blocked from www.gutenberg.org We were informed that visitors are blocked with an image with this text: Italian: Guardia di Finanza NUCLEO SPECIALE TUTELA PRIVACY E FRODI TECNOLOGICHE SITO SOTTOPOSTO A SEQUESTRO per le violazioni di cui agli artt. 81 cpv, 171, co.2, L.633/1941 Procedirnento Penale n. 52127/20 R.G.N.R. I. Procura della Repubblica presso ii Tribunale Ordinario di Roma Translation to English: Guardia di Finanza SPECIAL CORE PRIVACY PROTECTION AND TECHNOLOGICAL FRAUD WEBSITE SUBJECT TO SEQUEST for the violations referred to in articles 81 para. 171, co.2, L.633 / 1941 Criminal Procedure no. 52127/20 R.G.N.R. THE. Public Prosecutor at the Ordinary Court of Rome Evidently, this is a block applied by Italian authorities (perhaps only in Rome). It's not anything on the www.gutenberg.org servers or associated infrastructure. We don't have any agents or expertise in Italy (PG operates wholly from the US). If someone in Italy finds out more about this, we will be pleased to receive further details. We apologize that Project Gutenberg is not available in Italy, at least to some users. This does not seem to be something that Project Gutenberg has any control over. We suggest that impacted persons contact their local librarian for help in finding eBooks of interest.
