Volunteering for Project Gutenberg--Overview

   Many thanks for your interest in volunteering for Project Gutenberg.
   
 First, you should subscribe to the Volunteer's List:
 Send the following message from your login to listserv@postoffice.cso.uiuc.edu

     sub gutvol-l Firstname Lastname

 That is all that is needed
 No subject is required.  Your address comes from your machine.

   As a member of the Volunteers's List [gutvol-l] you will receive
   copies of our In Progress File each month, along with suggestions on
   how to go about preparing, proofing and editing Etexts.
   
   Whenever you are interested in a particular book, please send Michael
   Hart (hart@pobox.com) a note, with your email address, the book[s] and
   author[s] you are interested in and that note will go into the next In
   Progress File.
   
   You can get started by getting our standards file.
   
   Is there anything in particular you would like to work on? If so,
   please write a few lines describing it and include your email: we will
   include this in our In Progress file (old HTML version available as
   well) until it is completed.
   
   The only real critera are copyright and interest. Rule of thumb on
   copyright is before 1919 if published in the US, or 50 years after
   death of author if a book was published elsewhere. We will do
   copyright searches for you. You will probably want to make sure you
   are subbed to the regular Project Gutenberg Listserver, too [gutnberg]
