About This Site last changed Saturday, January 28, 2012 Do check out our Newsletter every two weeks, ably edited by Quill--the newest issue is always available at Newsletter If you register, and don't receive a confirmation email promptly, please check your "spam" folder. Some ISPs tend to screen us out. If the problem persists, please add "dphelp@pgdpcanada.net" to your list of acceptable senders of email. DO NOT try to sign up with a different ID--that will just confuse matters. And, if you're already a member at DP-INT, it helps if you use the same ID here. We posted our first e-book to Project Gutenberg Canada on Monday, December 10, 2007 DP Canada gratefully acknowledges the donation of FineReader 7.0 Scripting version by Abbyy Software - makers of fine Optical Character Reading products Site Concept When a proofreader elects to proofread a page of a particular book, the text and image file are displayed on a single web page. This allows the page text to be easily reviewed and compared to the image file, thus assisting the proofreading of the page text. The edited text is then submitted back to the site via the same web page that it was edited on. A second proofreader is then presented with the work of the first proofreader and the page image. Once they have verified the work of the first proofreader and corrected any additional errors the page text is again submitted back to the site. The book then progresses through two formatting rounds using the same web interface. Once all pages for a particular book have been processed, a post-processor joins the pieces, properly formats them into a Project Gutenberg Canada e-book, optionally makes it available to interested parties for 'smooth reading', and submits it to the PGC archive. How You Can Help You don't even have to register to have a look at the Smooth Reading Pool Preview, though you do to upload corrections. Follow the link for more information. Remember that there is no commitment expected on this site. Proofread as often or as seldom as you like, and as many or as few pages as you like. We encourage people to do 'a page a day', but it's entirely up to you! We hope you will join us in our mission of 'preserving the literary history of the world in a freely available form for everyone to use'.
