Project Gutenberg began in 1971 when Michael Hart was given an operator's account with $100,000,000 of computer time in it by the operators of the Xerox Sigma V mainframe at the Materials Research Lab at the University of Illinois.
The premise on which Michael Hart based Project Gutenberg was: anything that can be entered into a computer can be reproduced indefinitely.

 Wikisource:Wikisource and Project Gutenberg - Wikisource
Project Gutenberg is an excellent and important project that I have highly praised to others, and which will always remain so, but I believe that with many important works, providing easily accessible, easily useable, and easily correctable copies of them, WIkisource can, and eventually shall do better than they currently are doing.
I have worked with MANY Project Gutenberg texts simpy for my own pleasure and easy reference, and know that there have been many typographical errors that remain in many of them.
We want there to be one clear source for people seeking the latest Project Gutenberg information, and we think that having a lot of out-of-date copies and partial copies scattered around the net would be a bad thing...

 TeleRead: Bring the E-Books Home
In fact, that's exactly why Project Gutenberg 2 troubles me, because it at least appears to be a sellout of some valuable ideals, and Mr.
Rip-offs like that are exactly why so many Project Gutenberg volunteers have been vigilant about making certain that PG's business needs do not even slightly compromise its main mission of providing free books.
If nothing else, given his ownership of the Project Gutenberg trademark, he could still team up with others to use the name to sell material to commercial interests that could lock it up in proprietary formats offered for pay.

 The Project Gutenberg Encyclopedia - Agnosticism
The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away One Trillion Etext Files by the December 31, 2001.
Among other things, Defects may take the form of incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other etext medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.
In order to avoid possible future trademark infringements or confusion in the minds of the public, this electronic version should be referred to as the Project Gutenberg Encyclopedia.

 Project Gutenberg Progresses
The Future of PG Hart based the Project Gutenberg concept on the premise that electronic data stored in a computer can be reproduced indefinitely—any number of copies can be made.
This was the start of Project Gutenberg (PG), an ambitious effort to develop a free public library of 10,000 public-domain e-books.

Of course, Bill Gates' closed source software project, which postdates Project Gutenberg by only four years, also scales well and flourishes, because the overwhelming majority of users would rather pay for the reliability of the leading brand.
Linus Torvalds' open source operating system project got its start two decades after Michael Hart's open source library project, but has long since surpassed it.
In 1971, Michael Hart asked himself the same question, and started Project Gutenberg with the goal of making every single text ever written freely accessible.

 United Press International - Business(p) - Project Gutenberg 's anabasis
Last October, Project Gutenberg -- the Web's first and largest online library of free electronic books -- released a long-awaited DVD containing close to 10,000 of its titles.
The "scanners" want to be the only source for "their" books, even when those books are in the public domain - and are willing to claim copyright on the public domain works of Project Gutenberg in the process.
Some Project Gutenberg sites each hand out 10 million eBooks per year -- impossible with scanned images or full text eBooks due to their bandwidth-consuming oversize.

What I would like to see is a project which works off the basic Gutenberg texts and formats them in a readable way, preserves illustrations, etc. But it should be an add on to the project, not the main project.
Also, at any time you can also take the Project Gutenberg files yourself and do this, but at least this gives you a forum to share your work once you are done.
