Hello,
I am interested in beginning my first project! I would like to try The Colonel's Dream by Charles W. Chesnutt. The page scans I have found that seem good to me can be found here: https://archive.org/details/colonelsdream1905ches/page/2/mode/2up
And then the transcription was found here: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/19746
Please let me know if this sounds good. Thanks!
Ryan

Great, that one would be a good start.
Make sure to read the Standard Ebooks Manual of Style before starting,
as you won't know what to fix if you haven't read the standards. In
particular, please closely review the semantics, high level patterns,
and typography sections:
https://standardebooks.org/manual
https://standardebooks.org/manual/latest/4-semantics
https://standardebooks.org/manual/latest/7-high-level-structural-patterns
https://standardebooks.org/manual/latest/8-typography
The step by step guide will take you from start to finish:
https://standardebooks.org/contribute/producing-an-ebook-step-by-step
This page on common issues in older books may be useful:
https://standardebooks.org/contribute/how-tos/common-issues-when-working-on-public-domain-ebooks
Please email often if you have any questions at all. Our standards are
well-established so there is probably already a standard for formatting
whatever problem you've encountered.
When you're ready, email back with a link to your Github repository so
that I can mark you as having started.
Have fun! :)

I'll keep pushing work to it as I work through the guide. Thanks!

Hello all,
I'm interested to see if The Colonel's Dream layout is still in the works. If not, I would like to pick it up as a first project and contribute.
Nice to meet you!

Hi Hannah, sorry for the late reply, your email got caught in the Google
Groups spam filter.
Yes, this project has been abandoned so you can start it fresh if you'd
like to work on it. Please check the start of this thread for an
introduction to this work and any particular notes. Then, create a
Github repo and send me a link in a new discussion thread, so we can
assign you a manager and reviewer. Thanks!
