DP Code Development

There are numerous pieces of open-source software that are used in service of Distributed Proofreaders' mission of Preserving History One Page at a Time. This includes tools that Project Managers use to prepare the OCR text for being loaded into a new project, the code that runs pgdp.net, tools that help Post-Processors prepare ebooks for being published to Project Gutenberg, and many more.

Most of this code is hosted on GitHub under the Distributed Proofreaders organization.

pgdp.net

The source code that drives pgdp.net is Open Source software under the GPLv2 license. It is hosted on GitHub under the Distributed Proofreaders organization. The code is written primarily in PHP, a web-centric interpreted language. If you've ever done any Perl, python, or C coding you'll find PHP very familiar.

For more information on this code and how to contribute see DP Code Development: dproofreaders.
