Yesterday, Project Gutenberg posted its 10,000th freely-available book onto the internet, reaching its longtime goal! I’ve been following their progress for a couple of years, and this past year finally got involved as a Distributed Proofreader, using their simple web interface to proofread OCR’d texts. The On-line Books Page (a portal indexing free books on the internet from a variety of sources including but not limited to PG) has a small article about this on their site. I love this project, and with over thirty years of history, I think they have a good change of reaching a million titles on-line someday. I intend to continue helping out, and if you’re at all interested in their project, I’d suggest you consider lending a hand too!
