For the PGDP side, it's possible to check at PGDP itself (one will need to get a login for that, but it's as free and unencumbered as the same on Wikimedia), but there is also a useful superset at http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html (warning! I'm talking of a 7 megabyte html file here). This contains, sorted by author (books by more than one author given multiple times) all books that have a clearance for Project Gutenberg. For cooperation, one idea could be to get the PGDP material either after the P3 stage or after the F2 stage. As long as a project is still active, it isn't hard at all to get both the text and the scan pages. -- André Engels, andreeng...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
