Gitenberg and DP are quite different in their objectives. DP was created primarily to clean up OCR- text only. Modern ebooks have a whole 'nother dimension to presentation. fonts, graphics, reflowable layout, footnotes, links, indices, etc.
For example, I contributed enhancements to "Alice in Wonderland" https://github.com/GITenberg/Tenniel-Illustrations-for-Alice-in-Wonderland_114 https://github.com/GITenberg/Tenniel-Illustrations-for-Alice... (from a version in mobileread). DP produced one edition; There are in fact many public domain versions of Alice. How to keep them all straight? PG has no answer, but version control systems allow us to use fork and merge processes to start to deal with the way the real world works.
