Does anyone have time to proofread a page a day on books being prepared for Project Gutenberg?

I've set up a ForumGarden team there for those who do. After the first few attempts it might take ten minutes when you have the time and that's another page cleaned. They all add up. You get to learn something you didn't know before, it's lots more fun than Minesweeper.

ALOHA!!

MOTTO TO LIVE BY:

WOO HOO!!, what a ride!!!"

Registrations for proofreading are on the top right of DP: Welcome and that username/password gets you into all the other areas like the forum and wiki as well.
