Introduction

This page is a collaboration, co-ordination and workspace for Kiwi content @ DP. It is an extension of the Kiwi Team. Welcome! You don't have to belong to the team to contribute but joining the team will increase our rank, our profile and, hopefully, our recruitment to enable us to process more Kiwi books to the public domain.

Join the Kiwis! - click here. There's a "Join" link in the header next to the team name. Kiwis will then be listed on the right of your Activity Hub under "Your teams". This is how you would usually access Team discussions and the Team page (TBA).
The main team thread discussion area/forum is here. Remember to click the "watch this topic for replies" at the bottom of the forum screen to learn of new books going through the rounds.

We aim to list all the Kiwi books available on DP. If you would like a book listed (either as the PMer or a proofer), please add it below in the appropriate category, or leave a message at the team thread and it'll be added for you.

Better descriptions are welcomed. (Some of the descriptions have been lifted straight from the project comments.)

For help with editing this page there is a link under Wiki Navigation in the left margin (<-- over there!!) DPWiki:Editing

If You're New to Distributed Proofreaders

Welcome to Distributed Proofreaders(DP)! Getting started is very simple. Register, print the proofreading summary, visit the first round, and start proofreading! Choose an easy book (labeled "Begin") to start with. If you want to test your knowledge of the guidelines before you actually proof, take the proofreading quiz.

For help with DP Jargon, check the wiki here.

Whenever you are ready, return here to see our current projects. This diagram may help you understand the DP process.

If you have any questions, view the Proofer FAQ or post your question here.

Wishlist - Kiwi themed books we would like to get to DP

Kiwi themes

If you find a book you think would be a good addition to Project Gutenberg, first search to see if it is already in progress here, if it's not then please add it below, according to its source. If you can't find it online (check out the online libraries listed in scanned books, below), then put it under Hard Copy. Alternatively, post on the forum.

Scanned books

This is a list of books found available at the various online scan archives related to Kiwi themes that would be suitable for DP. The list is here in the event a CP/PM is looking for an Kiwi Project to put through the rounds.

Providing content

If there's a title you're particularly interested in working on that's not yet in PG but is eligible (i.e., in the public domain), try posting in the Providing Content forum on the "Books I'd Like to See in PG" thread, and if the scans are available online, it will probably appear in P1 in a week or so as if by magic--Content Providers enjoy supplying books that workers are enthusiastic about. Please also leave a note here that you have asked for the project, and, move it to in progress once it gets underway.

Content providers start a book in the process of reaching Project Gutenberg. If you want to do this check out Content providers.

REMEMBER:
Please use the regular Coordinated_Scan_Harvesting pages to claim any project you want to work on.
Please conduct the regular CP Clearence Searches before claiming a book. List of books In progress and completed: here. The title could have been claimed or cleared by anyone else since the date it was added :).
To keep things organised, please also leave a note here that you have claimed the project, and, move it to in progress once it gets underway.

Books claimed or requested from Content Providers forum

Kiwi Content In Progress at DP

Add any books that have entered the DP process that have Kiwi themes here.

Please use the format:

  • *<projectinfo id="projectID#">%link% (%state%)</projectinfo> (edit this section, copy *<projectinfo...projectinfo> to the list and replace the # with the projectID number from the book's project page).

This will automatically update the book's progress as it moves through the system.

Please add tags from the tag list as appropriate.

If you are interested in working on any of these books, you can be notified when it becomes available to work on. Click the link to reach the project page, scroll down to the bottom and tick the box by "Project becomes available in a round". I hope this is incentive to get to the higher qualifications - it is certainly possible for you to reach F1 in the time it takes a book to get through the proofing rounds. And then to PPer, as it gets through F2!
