This is fantastic!
I just made a github repo for each Gutenber book: https://github.com/GITenberg https://github.com/GITenberg
This will be very helpful, the XML/RDF files are a hassle.
- walterbell 12y agoAre the github repos intended to collect errata? Do you know of a database which has metadata for all the Gutenberg books?
- c-w 12y agoThere's a database of RDF files that describe the books (http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/feeds/rdf-files.tar.bz2 http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/feeds/rdf-files.tar.bz2), but its a bit of a pain to use and doesn't link the books back to the API that should be used for crawling Project Gutenberg (http://www.gutenberg.org/robot/harvest http://www.gutenberg.org/robot/harvest).
- sethish 12y agoI think the previous version of the metadata included a path to the ftp server. Splitting the book id (4443 -> 4/4/4/4443) works for _most_ books, but there were somewhere between 800 and 3000 books organized in a different folder structure that I still need to track down.
- sethish 12y agoThe github repos are intended to collect issues and received pull requests. Project Gutenberg doesn't have a public bugtracker, nor do they use version control.
- voltagex_ 12y agoWhy is Git in uppercase?
- sethish 12y agoTo better differentiate from Project Gutenberg, GIT + Gutenberg. Case is ambigious on github, so I can change it later without breaking anyone's URLs.
