Happy Birthday, Project Gutenberg
From Dean Peters,
Project Gutenberg is the brainchild of Michael Hart, who on July 4, 1971 decided that it would be a really good idea if lots of famous and important texts were freely available to everyone in the world. Starting with an all-caps version of the Declaration of Independence.
Since then, he has been joined by hundreds of volunteers who share his vision. Now, more than thirty years later, Project Gutenberg has the following figures (as of November 8th 2002): 203 New eBooks released during October 2002, 1975 New eBooks produced in 2002 (they were 1240 in 2001) for a total of 6267 Total Project Gutenberg eBooks.
Thanks, Dean.
