| Summary | "The Project Gutenberg FAQ 2002" by Jim Tinsley is a comprehensive guide written to provide historical context and information about Project Gutenberg, probably during the early 21st century. This publication serves not as a current manual but as a historical reference to the operations of a volunteer-led initiative dedicated to digitizing and distributing literary works that are in the public domain. At the start of the FAQ, Tinsley reflects on the early challenges and successes Project Gutenberg faced as it grew in the late 1990s and early 2000s. He discusses the labor-intensive process of producing e-texts and the barriers to volunteer participation, including the difficulty in obtaining eligible texts and the technical challenges involved in scanning and proofing. The opening section sets the stage for the detailed FAQs that follow, which cover everything from how to become involved with the project to the technical specifications for submitting texts, highlighting both the operational aspects and the community-building efforts behind Project Gutenberg.
