This text explains some of the administrative routines used by the editors of Project Runeberg. If you want to help the project as a volunteer, this information can be very useful to you. Even if you are only reading or using the editions that we publish, this text will give you a better understanding of how some things are organized. This mostly means books that we have scanned and converted to HTML format.
Books are easy to understand, they have a title and an author and a number of pages.
You can tell how large a library is by counting the number of books in it. Sometimes we publish works of art or some material that did not originally appear as a single book. Each edition has an author, a title, and some other properties. You can tell how large our project is by counting the number of electronic editions that we have published. By the beginning of 1996 we have published just over 100 editions.
