We are now trying to release all our books one month in advance of the official release
dates, for time for better editing. We have this as a goal to accomplish by the end of the
year but we cannot guarantee to stay that far ahead every month after that.
Please note: neither this list nor its contents are final till midnight of the last day of the
month of any such announcement. The official release date of all Project Gutenberg
Etexts is at Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month. A preliminary
version may often be posted for suggestion, comment and editing by those who wish to
do so. To be sure you have an up to date first edition [xxxxx10x.xxx] please check file
sizes in the first week of the next month. Since our ftp program has a bug in it that
scrambles the date [tried to fix and failed] a look at the file size will have to do, but we
will try to see a new copy has at least one byte more or less.





Information about Project Gutenberg
(one page)
We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The fifty hours is one
conservative estimate for how long it we take to get any etext selected, entered, proofread,
edited, copyright searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. This projected
audience is one hundred million readers. If our value per text is nominally estimated at
one dollar then we produce $4 million dollars per hour this year as we release some eight
text files per month: thus upping our productivity from $2 million.
The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away One Trillion Etext Files by the
December 31, 2001. [10,000 x 100,000,000=Trillion] This is ten thousand titles each to
one hundred million readers, which is 10% of the expected number of computer users by
the end of the year 2001.
