Yesterday, Slashdot featured an article about "Gutenberg Radio", which seems to be a collection of MP3 audiobooks generated by running Project Gutenberg texts through Eloquence. You can read the Slashdot article here: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/04/20/1819253 The Web site for Gutenberg Radio is here: http://www.etc-edu.com/ I can't say I'm really impressed with their behavior on Slashdot; I posted to suggest that DAISY's work had value, and I got this snide response from the guy who apparently runs the Gutenberg Radio project: "we will never use xml for anything. we have already done more for the blind than daisy. nice plug for daisy though. keep up the good work. maybe you can voulenteer 40 hours a week or so to make daisy compliant books. you sound like a real public service maven, a regular saint." Nice guy, eh? --Kynn -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://kynn.com Chief Technologist, Idyll Mountain http://idyllmtn.com Author, CSS in 24 Hours http://cssin24hours.com Inland Anti-Empire Blog http://blog.kynn.com/iae Shock & Awe Blog http://blog.kynn.com/shock
