(Link at the end to a pdf with interview).
I was curious about how he funded this project.
Excerpt from interview:
RP: Do you get a salary from the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation,
which was founded, I believe, in 2000?
MH: No. We don't attract enough funding for that.
RP: So what do you live on today?
MH: It's been two years since my last pay check, but if you save all your salary when
you do get one, $100,000 will go 10 years with no salary, at $10,000 a year.
Interesting that he lived so cheaply in order to work on something he loved.
