Index of Books Available for Download - Page 2

Great work Harry. I had started to put together a Wiki addition that linked to the original posts but it just kept expanding and I never came anywhere near finishing it. I do agree that the Wiki is the place the index and hopefully the links should be.

I've just added Charlotte Bronte's 'Shirley'.

Wow, what a library! The list is great and sure does give a whole new perspective on what is there. Thanks!

Oops. Thats waht i get for skimming.. i miss stuff

I have a suggestion to make the index even more useful then it already is. I suggest that each title of the book or books be converted to a link to link directly to the thread that contains the attachment of the book(s) in question. That would mean all we do is look at the list, find the book we want, click the link, and voila there we are at the thread.

This was covered in the early post

It's a great idea, but even maintaining the list is a lost of work, so I think we just have to praise Harry for what he's giving us, and maybe Alex will work a miracle with an automated version that includes links.

I've added Proust's 'Within a Budding Grove.'

HarryT · 05-23-2007, 02:32 AM

Thanks Patricia. No need to tell me about everything; I just look at what's new when I log on in the morning. Just give me a nudge if a few days go by and I've not added something!

Cross-post from here:

OK, we hacked a bit of a code and this is the first result:

Any comments are welcomed of course. Our ultimate goal would be to separate authors from book titles, but right now it's virtually impossible -- unless we make the rules for titles even more stringent. Right now there are simply too many possible variations to allow for a foolproof separate indexing of authors + book titles.

Very nice, Alex!

JSWolf · 05-23-2007, 02:36 PM

If we didn't have the new book index, I was going to take the original index message and add in the links. No need now. We have something even better then that.

Alexander Turcic · 05-23-2007, 02:39 PM

It's also updated instantly, which I think is nice.

Since we will also add an e-book upload section for the iLiad reader (and possibly for other readers in the future), we may have to add another column indicating in which category each book was uploaded to.

RWood · 05-23-2007, 03:45 PM

Alex, a great addition to the site. Perhaps you could add a link to it from the front page?
