Project Gutenberg Made Accessible

scishop writes "Mazarin is an open-source interface to Project Gutenberg's library. Mazarin increases the accessibility of Gutenberg's 10,000+ books as it formats the books for HTML display -- providing paginations in addition to generating table of contents and other advanced markup features -- along with enabling users to carry out full-text searches on the entire library."

Slashdot turned Project Gutenberg…

...deader than Steve Gutenberg's career or even BSD.

and then just think

[bsDaemon]

and just think of all the problems which could have been avoided over the years if the reformation never happened...
it really is one of the most unfortunate twists in history (of course, slashdotters will just jump on christianity in general)

Re:and then just think

[kbahey]

True, there were abuses in the Roman Catholic church at the time, mainly by a pope who came from rich and powerful family (Medici), and spent lavishly and wanted to replenish the cash he wasted by selling indulgences.

Luther wanted to reform the church, however, the events that ensued, compounded by Luther's personality and style made the schim irreversible.

The church called him to answer for what he wrote. He did not obey. He found protection with a ruler. The church played the excommunication card. He responded by declaring the pope to be Anti Christ. His abrasive and confrontational character, and his fire and brimstone rhetoric made reconciliation impossible.

Had he been more like Calvin, reconciliation was possible

Re:and then just think

[mpost4]

Luther was there, it is called the Diet of Worms, that told him to recant, he told them unless he was shown by scripture or plain reason it was not safe to recant. They could not show him where he was "in error"

And the the pope being the anti-christ "he sets himself up in the temple of God, and says blaspmis things" seams to fit the office of the pope.

PG slashdotted..

I guess this is about the time we take the Internet Archive's cache of PG eh? I wonder if they cache all 10k books. :)
