PG now has three Asimov scifi shorts up, which feels like potentially enough to start a collection?
- The Magnificent Possession (1940)
- Youth (1952)
- Let’s Get Together (1957)
Together those total ~21.7K words so not a long collection, but about the same as Cordwainer Smith. What do you think?

Sure, that would work.
He also wrote non sci-fi shorts, and it looks like they were principally
mysteries. So the question is, do we create a separate "sci fi stories"
omnibus? The answer depends on whether we need to create a "mystery
stories" omnibus, or if he also wrote fiction outside of those two genres.
So, that will require a spreadsheet, at least of the mystery stories.
Ideally we would also include the sci fi stories, but that would be a
lot of work considering outside of PG's research, nothing is going to
enter PD for at least another decade. But it would be extremely useful
work for us in the long run.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Asimov_short_stories_bibliography
suggests there are about 385 short stories which I think includes both
sci fi and mystery.

Might as well include everything from the Wiki page, then we’ve got it. Starting that work at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oge21ZYs1xEg9ummZmrDYepSCzBR4d3XuaSawoDyH3w/edit?usp=sharing

OK, this is basically ready for you to copy over to the SE account.
Obviously it’s mostly red as there’s only the three stories so far with known-good PD status. Where stories have been anthologised into a mystery collection or when they were originally published in “Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine” I’ve given them a tag of Mystery. For the stories included in Azazel I’ve listed them as Fantasy; I’ve not read them, but the first paragraph on that page refers to them as such. Then there’s the “Asimov’s Mysteries” omnibus that is described as both sci-fi and mystery so I’ve marked them down as both. Apart from that I guess the assumption is that everything else is sci-fi? I’ve left it untagged for the time being.
So I think we definitely want a “Short Science Fiction” compilation to start. Then I’d guess three more: ”Black Widowers Stories”, “Azazel Stories” and “Short Mysteries”? It’s a bit up in the air as it’s unlikely that we’ll be working on it in the next few decades, but I guess you need to start somewhere!

I'm curious, how can stories with such recent publication dates be in the US public domain?

There are various public domain trapdoors for specific cases in the US
only. Careful research is required and we basically rely exclusively on
PG to determine that. See https://www.gutenberg.org/help/copyright.html

They’re not! Everything in the spreadsheet with a red background isn’t public domain in the US yet. The three stories that are in the public domain are because Project Gutenberg has identified (to their satisfaction) that the copyright wasn’t renewed on the magazines that first published those stories. A lot of our sci-fi is from that era, where copyright needed to be actively claimed on stories after a fixed term, otherwise it’d lapse. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_renewal_in_the_United_States for the grisly details.

OK great, this is the spreadsheet copy you should work on from now on:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FCKrVCGktEodBWXYRjoiLNuASpCu_HV_DmT0USF5M1E/edit?gid=0#gid=0
Collection organization sounds good. Can you put those into the SE

Done.
I’d been working on this in the background as it’s only 3 stories. I’ve rebased that now to “Short Science Fiction” and pushed to https://github.com/robinwhittleton/isaac-asimov_short-science-fiction. I’d like to claim https://standardebooks.org/artworks/marsden-hartley/provincetown for the cover art when a production entry has been created.
Proofing in progress.

This is ready for review. You didn’t assign anyone Alex, so I guess you’re up!
Nothing really to say apart from that I’d forgotten how good he was with writing a twist. The most recent PG transcription had forgotten to convert underscores to italics, but I’ve fixed that in our copy and let them know.

suggest some kind of spaceship, and also in the shape of an A!

I was wondering if someone would see the big “A” that I did :)
