The <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;standardebooks.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;standardebooks.org&#x2F;</a> project has been rebuilding ebooks (open ePUB format) with an eye on quality and readability on mobiles&#x2F;tablets (fonts, copyedit, etc.) which might be of interest, all books and the website revision are tracked in git.

I wrote a technical comparison between various public domain eBook projects:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dave.autonoma.ca&#x2F;blog&#x2F;2020&#x2F;04&#x2F;11&#x2F;project-gutenberg-projects&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dave.autonoma.ca&#x2F;blog&#x2F;2020&#x2F;04&#x2F;11&#x2F;project-gutenberg-p...</a>

They’re probably going to have to change their name to something that does not have “git” in it: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;public-inbox.org&#x2F;git&#x2F;20170202022655.2jwvudhvo4hmueaw@sigill.intra.peff.net&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;public-inbox.org&#x2F;git&#x2F;20170202022655.2jwvudhvo4hmueaw...</a>

This looks like a subset of Project Gutenberg?<p>The Girl from Alsace in Gitenberg: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gitenberg.org&#x2F;book&#x2F;35926" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gitenberg.org&#x2F;book&#x2F;35926</a><p>The Girl from Alsace in Gutenberg: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gutenberg.org&#x2F;ebooks&#x2F;35926" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gutenberg.org&#x2F;ebooks&#x2F;35926</a><p>The numbers are even the same which seems suspicious. Hmmm.

I don&#x27;t know why, but I expected some amazing typography in their PDFs. :(

You might be more familiar with another project the Free Ebook Foundation maintains: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;EbookFoundation&#x2F;free-programming-books&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;EbookFoundation&#x2F;free-programming-books&#x2F;</a> Which is one of the top-10 repos on github by number of stars.

I like how they&#x27;re able to accurately tag translators vs original authors, e.g. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;GITenberg&#x2F;The-History-of-the-Peloponnesian-War_7142&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;metadata.yaml" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;GITenberg&#x2F;The-History-of-the-Peloponnesia...</a>
