| About Distributed Proofreaders (DP): | |
Distributed Proofreaders is a website written in PHP with some PERL and backed by a mySQL database and is intended to ease the process of converting Public Domain books and other printed materials into e-texts. This webpage is home of the SourceForge project for Distributed Proofreaders development. If you are looking for the actual Distributed Proofreaders homepage it can be found at http://www.pgdp.net

| DP Site concept: | |
|
Distributed Proofreaders provides a web-based method of easing the proofreading work associated with the creation of Project Gutenberg E-Texts. By breaking the work into individual pages many proofreaders can be working on the same book at the same time. This significantly speeds up the proofreading/E-Text creation process. When a proofer elects to proofread a page for a particular project, the text and image file are displayed on a single webpage. This allows the text file to be easily reviewed and compared to the image file, thus assisting the proofreading of the text file. The edited text file is then submitted back to the site via the same webpage that it was edited on. Once all pages for a particular book have been processed the Project Manager joins the pieces, properly formats them into a PG E-Text and submits it to the PG archive.
