The main team thread discussion area is here
Aussie Bookshelf on PG
- Australia has its own Bookshelf under the Countries section at Project Gutenberg! See it here
- Suggestions on titles in Project Gutenberg that have been missed or the layout? You can add titles and make adjustments yourself, or, if you'd prefer drop into the team thread with the details and it will be attended to when one of the folks who keep the Aussie Bookshelf up-to-date gets time.
