Interesting – seems like there's a bit of overlap with Project Gitenberg (https://www.gitenberg.org/ https://www.gitenberg.org/).

- robin_reala 9y agoNearly all of the books on SE use Gutenberg text as a starting point.
- fernly 9y agoI took a look at Gitenberg and just don't get it. They appear to have downloaded a shit-ton of books from Gutenberg into Github -- go to https://github.com/GITenberg https://github.com/GITenberg and note that there appear to be 1659 pages(!) in the list of repos -- and then basically sat on them. Possibly some number of the books have been vastly improved or cleaned up, but there is no way to tell them apart from the ones that are simply dups of the PG files.
