We’ve decided to switch the Project Gutenberg Software Site from the Faq-O-Matic to a PHP/MySQL solution (which is much nicer). In fact, Project Gutenberg will be completely switching over (hopefully) to a full PHP/MySQL system within a few months. It will be incredibly cool. Too bad I won’t be around to see it. But most of the kinks will be worked out by the time I come back (two years is enough time for that). When I get back, I’m going to set up an RSS feed here on Blank Slate, and I’m going to start using CVS and rsync on my local machine to maintain it. And I’ll do it all in PHP/MySQL and integrate it with the Project Gutenberg site (somehow). I’ll be doing lots of stuff after my mission — Project Gutenberg, Unicode work, Linux advocacy, documentation and testing for various projects, etc. But all that is two years down the road. Focus on the present, Ben.

Oh, the TeX and PDF versions of the Old Icelandic primer have been posted on Project Gutenberg. Nice.
