Lets fork Project Gutenberg to github and call it Project GITenberg.
Project Gutenberg is awesome! The public domain is awesome. Git is awesome.
But Project Gutenberg doesn't use a version control system. And they have a high barrier to entry to edit books. Aaaand they don't have a public bug tracking system.
Moving PG to Github helps with these issues, and has many other side-effect benefits.
This repo does three things via the gitbook command.
- fetches books from PG
- makes a local git repo with extra files
- creates a repo on github and pushes to it (one per book)
Estimated 1.6 million files Reported 650 GB total ~40,000 + books
