Distributed Proofreaders

Distributed Proofreaders is a web-based platform that enables volunteers to collaborate on converting public domain books into e-books by dividing the workload into individual pages, with a process that involves multiple rounds of proofreading and formatting. Volunteers can register to contribute in various ways, including proofreading, managing projects, and developing site improvements, and can also participate in community discussions. The platform allows volunteers to work on the site, with introductory instructions and walkthroughs available for new users. Once all pages are completed, a post-processor assembles the e-book and submits it to the Project Gutenberg archive.
