What is PGDP?
Project Gutenberg is a collection of public domain eTexts. Distributed Proofreaders is a site that has been set up to help Project Gutenberg and has become its most significant contributer of high quality eTexts. I wrote a brief paper on these websites and what I do here (in .doc format).
