SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE IN OUR HEADLINE NEWS
Most school computers are never used by the students!
In several recent interviews, I have noticed that teachers
are telling me that the statistics about school computers
are very misleading. We hear that 99% of U.S. classrooms
are computerized, but what we do NOT hear is that ONLY the
teachers get to use them, and many times this is ONLY for
routine matters such as taking attendance.
The students seems to NEVER be at the computers, and when
they are, which may be from 1% to 3% of the time, they have
no access to anything other than what the teacher put there,
no direct access to Project Gutenberg, the Web or the Internet.
This, I am told, is simply due to ignorance on the parts of
the teachers and staff, plus fear of pornography and viruses.
Thus, a student may spend an entire year at a "computerized"
school, and may easily spend less time at the computer than
s/he might spend in the first week after receiving a computer
with Internet access for Christmas.
If you are expecting our kids to graduate from high school
knowing how to run a computer, access the Internet and Web,
and all that comes with it, better ask around, because it
just might not be happening the way you have been led to think.

DISTRIBUTED PROOFREADERS NEEDS CONTENT, PROOFERS AND SCANNER TYPES
Please contact us at:
dphelp@pgdp.net
if you would like to know more about the Distributed Proofreaders.
Thanks to very good recent publicity, the Distributed Proofreading
project has greatly accelerated its pace. Please visit the site:
http://www.pgdp.net
for more information about how you can help a lot, by
simply proofreading just a few pages per day, or more.
If you have a book that has been scanned, but not yet run
through OCR (optical character recognition) or proofed,
and you would like the Distributed Proofreaders to work on it,
please email dphelp@pgdp.net and we will get things started.
Also, DP is seeking public domain books not already in the
Project Gutenberg collection. To see what is already online,
visit http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/GUTINDEX.ALL (a text file),
since the online database doesn't reflect recent additions.
Do you have Public Domain books your would like to see in the archive?
Can they be destructively scanned? If so send them to the Distributed
Proofreading Team! Please email dphelp@pgdp.net with your geographic
location. You will be given the address of the nearest high-speed scanner
(note that the high-speed scanner requires destruction of the book(s) which
will not be returned).
Please make sure that any books you send are _not_ already in the archive
and please check them against David's "In Progress" list at:
http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html
to ensure no one is currently working on them. It would also be helpful if
you obtain copyright clearance before mailing the books, and send the 'OK'
lines to
dphelp@pgdp.net
Do you like to work on an entire book at once but don't have the time
or technology to do the scanning, OCR, and initial proofing yourself?
Distributed Proofreaders has the perfect solution! Just send us email
telling us that you are interested in post-processing and we will help
find a you project you would like to work on.

*** Have We Given Away A Trillion Books/Dollars Yet???
Statistical Review
In the 01 weeks of this year, we have produced 0093 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 1993 to produce our FIRST 0093 eBooks!!!
That's 01 WEEKS as Compared to ~22 YEARS!!!
With 11,001 eBooks online as of January 14, 2004 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.91 from each book,
for Project Gutenberg to have currently given away $1,000,000,000,000
[One Trillion Dollars] in books.
100,000,000 readers is only about 1.5% of the world's population!
This "cost" is down from about $1.48 when we had 6769 eBooks A Year Ago
Can you imagine 10,000 books each costing $.57 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine 10,000 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 11,001 eBooks in 32 Years and 6.25 Months We Averaged
333 Per Year [We do more per than that month these days!]
26 Per Month
.85 Per Day
At 0,093 eBooks Done In The 007 Days Of 2004 We Averaged
13.3 Per Day
93.0 Per Week
411.9 Per Month
The production statistics are calculated based on full weeks'
production; each production-week starts/ends Wednesday noon,
starts with the first Wednesday of January. January 7th was
the first Wednesday of 2004, and thus ended PG's production
year of 2003 and began the production year of 2004 at noon.

From Newsscan:
[I've Been Saying Chinese Was Coming For A Couple Years Now!"]
NFL PLANS CHINESE-LANGUAGE WEB SITE KICK-OFF
The National Football League will launch a Mandarin Chinese-language
version of its Web site later this month featuring commentary by
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Chad Lewis, who learned Mandarin during a
two-year stint as a Mormon missionary in Taiwan. The move reflects the
American entertainment industry's efforts to expand its products to
overseas audiences -- the National Basketball Association offers nine
foreign-language versions of its NBA.com site, and Walt Disney has launched
nearly two dozen individual-country Web sites and reports that foreign
audiences now make up 42% of the total visitors to its Web sites. Analysts
caution that foreign-language sites can take years to pay off, but industry
execs view China as a potentially lucrative investment. The China Internet
Network Information Center reports that there were 68 million Internet
users in mid-2003, when the latest statistics were available, which
represents a 15% growth in just the first half of last year. (New York
Times 12 Jan 2004)

[Of Course This Next One Is Mostly About Commercial eBooks and. . . .]
LIBRARIES FUEL E-BOOK MARKET
E-books have suffered a slow start and several setbacks over the past
couple of years, but industry observers says things are finally turning
around. "There was a pricing impediment and a quality impediment," says
Rosetta Books CEO Arthur Klebanoff, who cites a new generation of e-book
devices that could jumpstart sales. "Today the [digital] reading experience
is much better and prices have fallen." But the biggest push may come from
several library consortia that have added e-books to their collections. The
King County system in the Seattle area offers members about 2,000 titles
and records show about 3,200 e-books were checked out between Sept. 15 and
the end of November. "The response has been pretty good," says King County
Library System associate director Bruce Schauer. "In general, e-books will
likely be used primarily for quick reference [on subjects] such as medical,
travel and law. People are also using the search and highlight functions
for homework." Meanwhile, Steve Potash, CEO of OverDrive, which helps
manage the Cleveland Public Library system's e-book digital publishing
rights, says current economic conditions have proven a powerful motivation
for many libraries to begin experimenting with e-books. "At a time when
public libraries are under budget pressures, what better way to extend
services than free e-book downloads?" Among the most popular titles are
(what else?) CliffsNotes. That observation is echoed by CliffsNotes
publisher John Wiley & Sons, which says the CliffsNotes series is its No. 1
e-book seller. "We knew they'd be popular online; what we didn't anticipate
was that they'd be popular for libraries. People are using the library very
differently these days: Now you don't have to leave your room. It's about a
generation comfortable in the electronic media," says Wiley senior VP
Katherine Showalter. (Wall Street Journal 12 Jan 2004)

[More On China Already, Whose Standards Will The Chinese Use?]
HIGH-TECH CHINA: WILL IT THROW ITS WEIGHT AROUND?
China's moves to expand its technology industries are leading to new trade
tensions with the United States. Bruce P. Mehlman of the industry group
Computer Systems Policy Project wonders whether China will "take a more
global, market-based approach, or will it try to change the rules and
disadvantage others?" The projects at issue include development of Chinese
software standards for wireless computers, the introduction of exclusive
technology formats for future generations of cell phones and DVD players,
and tax policies that favor computer chips made in China. Ann Rollins of the
Information Technology Industry Council explains, "Having a different
standard from the rest of the world fractures the market. The implications
of this are dangerous going forward." (New York Times 13 Jan 2004)

JUDGE PREFERS PAPERWORK TO ELECTRONIC FILINGS
A judge in California has ruled that consumers cannot use the Web to file
for their shares of a $1.1 billion class-action settlement against
Microsoft. The Web site in question, MsfreePC.com, was developed by Lindows,
a Microsoft rival. Microsoft argued that the site violated "the integrity
of the claims process" (by accepting digital signatures), and the judge
agreed. Lindows chief executive Michael Robertson countered: "Microsoft's
claim that digital signatures are valid when used to sell their software but
not when it costs them money is pure hypocrisy. Their true intentions are
not to remedy their abusive pricing policies but simply to escape financial
redress to Californians."(AP/Washington Post 12 Jan 2004)

NEW STUDY REFUTES NET 'GEEK' STEREOTYPE
The typical Internet user has plenty of friends, an active social life and
would rather read a good book or log on than watch TV, according to a
report by UCLA's World Internet Project, which surveyed Net users and
non-users in 14 countries to come up with its results. The image of Net
users as socializers contradicts the stereotype of propeller-head "geeks"
who spend their days (and nights) hunched over their keyboards, shunning
human contact. The study did, however, reinforce some other demographic
trends, including the fact that wealthier people tend to be more avid
users, and that men outnumber women on the Net, although those figures vary
by country, with Italy exhibiting the largest gender gap and Taiwan the
smallest. Meanwhile, the digital divide -- the phrase widely used to
describe the disparity in Internet usage between rich and poor -- appears
to be narrowing around the world. Sweden, Korea and the U.S. had the
largest number of low-income users. (Reuters/CNet News.com 14 Jan 2004)

[And Still Yet More On China. . .The Virtual World Is Changing. . . .]
YAHOO TAKES ONLINE AUCTIONS TO CHINA
Yahoo is teaming up with Chinese Internet portal leader SINA to launch an
online auction service for Chinese consumers. The deal capitalizes on
SINA's familiar brand and Yahoo's e-commerce expertise: "With the rapid
growth of the Chinese Internet market, we see that all indicators point to
a strong surge in Chinese e-commerce," says SINA CEO Yan Wang. "With SINA's
brand and traffic in China coupled with Yahoo's technology, know-how and
worldwide brand, we are creating an e-commerce platform that will be
trusted and widely available to Internet users in China." According to the
China Internet Network Information Center, there were 78 million Chinese
Internet users as of last month. (AP/New York Times 13 Jan 2004)
