G'day!

About me

I live in Berlin, Germany, after many years in other parts of the world. I'm an English native speaker, with what I think of as an Australian accent. My German is only passable, or perhaps laughable is a better word. I can't read Fraktur.

I stumbled across DP in January 2008, while looking for something at Project Gutenberg, I think, and must have needed a new way to lose my time...

PGDP interests

• Asia-Pacific non-fiction, which around here tends to be travel literature written by Europeans.
• Australasian fiction--I'd love to see more of this here.
• Astronomy and geography.
• Working on old and neglected projects. These introduced me to the joys of proofing LOTE, though I try to confine myself to French and Latin, where I have at least some clue.

List of posted projects that I've contributed to.

Current goals

I still have a lot to learn about how things work here. I would like to:

• Read interesting things!
• Get enough recent P2 pages to qualify for P3. DONE, 2009-04-01.
• Proof a page a day AND NOT MUCH MORE (see below).
• Help clean up old projects (see below).
• Get my #(P3) > #(P2), and my #(P2) > # (P1). DONE, 2011-03-17.
• Think about post-processing.
• Maintain my quality. The "Review Work" tool is good for this.

Old projects

• I try to contribute to Proofing the Oldest when I can. The latest projects are listed here.
• There are lots of old projects still hanging around. PTO's cousin The Gravedigger help us keep them moving along.
• For projects which are just having a slow day or two, try the 'Neglected' Projects list instead.
• Lately I've been pushing a few projects at the Page A Day project list.
