Don QuixoteInformation about Project Gutenberg (one page)We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours to get any etext selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyrightsearched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. This projected audience is one hundred million readers. If our value per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce 2 million dollars per hour this year as we release thirty-six text files per month, or 432 moreEtexts in 1999 for a total of 2000 If these reach just 10% of the computerized population, thenthe total should reach over 200 billion Etexts given away this year.The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away One Trillion Etext Files by December 31, 2001.[10,000 x 100,000,000 1 Trillion] This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred millionreaders, which is only 5% of the present number of computer users. At our revised rates ofproduction, we will reach only one-third of that goal by the end of 2001, or about 3,333 Etextsunless we manage to get some real funding; currently our funding is mostly from MichaelHart’s salary at Carnegie-Mellon University, and an assortment of sporadic gifts; this salary isonly good for a few more years, so we are looking for something to replace it, as we don’t wantProject Gutenberg to be so dependent on one person.We need your donations more than ever!All donations should be made to “Project Gutenberg/CMU”: and are tax deductible to the extentallowable by law.
