I'll try and maintain the first message in this thread as an up-to-date list of what's available for download from this forum. Sorry - I know it would be a lot better if these were hyperlinks, but that's too much hard work!
If there's anything that needs adding or changing, please add it in a message to the end of the thread. I'll make the changes, and then delete the message. Thanks! |

That's a good idea. If you'd like to write such a thread in the "Reader Content" sub-forum I'll make it "Sticky" for you.

Nice idea, RSaunders. Do you think that would be better as a sticky thread, or perhaps as a Wiki section? Just tossin' the notion out there.

I get the impression that the Wiki is better for "unchanging" information, but perhaps a sticky thread is better for something to which relatively frequent changes will be made? I guess it depends which category this would fall into. My "gut feeling" (which could be completely wrong) is that perhaps this would tend towards the latter? What do you think?

I just tried something that works like a charm. If you see a book you like here. Just use the "Search' Function on the blue toolbar at the top of the page and type in the book you want. It will give you a link to that page to download the book.

No. A Wiki is precisely for changing content. Especially for such lists which change structure over time. Soon enough this list will be too long to be navigable.
Just have a look at the Project Gutenberg Bookshelf. I see this getting out of hand already. I think a full website with Wiki and download options is needed. Something like LibriVox or manybooks. Last edited by Robert Marquard; 05-21-2007 at 09:57 AM. |

Hi Roy,
Yes, that was exactly the way this index was intended to be used. I will add that information to the index page. Thanks for pointing it out! |

Yes, you're absolutely right, of course, that would be a good solution. I think personally, though, that what we have here is working pretty well. The nice thing about it being a part of MR is that we can talk about the books as well as just upload and download them. |

I agree with both of you.
- We need to organize - The forum works great because it allows for immediate discussions To me the most ideal solution seems to add an automated index that would list all the books (either sorted alphabetically or sorted by date) with links to the downloads and other information (like # of downloads, etc.). |

Totally agree, Alex. If an automated index could be created that would be absolutely wonderful.
