Hi all,
I've been reading standard ebooks for awhile now and would love to contribute.
Would Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen be an acceptable first project? It's not on the wanted list, but it's a light read and fairly short (around 80k words).

Great, that one would be a good start.
I see a few instances of verse in there, but nothing too complicated.
Check the manual for copy and paste CSS and structure.
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
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! :)

No, it has been abandoned so you can start over if you'd like. Check out
the previous thread for details about how to start this particular book,
and send us a link to your repo once you get started. Thanks1

Here is the link to the repository: https://github.com/amanda8404/jane-austen_northanger-abbey. I don't see another thread about this book, did you just mean your previous message to person who originally started it? I haven't done anything yet except create the repository just in case!

Yes, that’s what he meant. He was thinking this was a separate thread, which it should be. :)

Has there been any progress on this? I don't want to step on anyone's toes, but if this project has been abandoned again I'm currently reading it for a book club so I don't think it would require much effort on my part to produce it.

Those look fine but I would leave `an useless` as that appears to be
quite common

Ok, I think it's all ready for review: https://github.com/lukasbystricky/jane-austen_northanger_abbey
A couple notes:
1. I couldn't find scans that matched the PG transcription. The transcription indicates it's from the Signet Classic text, so perhaps that's not out of public domain. I used these scans instead: https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/001023075, which includes Jane Austen's preface. I didn't attempt to bring the PG transcription in line with those scans though since there's a lot of minor grammatical differences.
2. There's a couple letters that I re-formatted to make look more like a print copy I have handy. I assume that's ok?

That's fine. We trust PG implicitly in their copyright determination.

Good work, Lukas! I opened an issue with a few minor formatting items, no biggies.

Thanks Vince! Very detailed review.
I have a question about the verse CSS, I used the CSS from 7.2.1, I couldn't find any in verse CSS in 7.5.
For the 3em dash in Chapter 5, I obviously don't know what Austen had in mind, but I read it as standing in for a name, and as you said the dash in the scans is longer. But if you feel strongly that's it's actually an interruption I'll change it.
That's interesting that David Widger has a LoC identifier. Is that common for PG transcribers?
Vince
May 15, 2022, 4:02:32 PM5/15/22

That CSS is for bridgeheads (per the 7.2.11 title), not poetry/verse. The 7.5 CSS is, per the title, for poetry, verse, and songs. So the examples say “poem,” but it’s used for all three.
I don’t feel strongly about the 3em, because I don’t know what Austen had in mind, either. :) What does anyone else think? This dash following Miss—is it standing for an actual name (in which case it should be 3em), or is just a normal long sentence-ending dash, which should then be em. Since there’s no space between Miss and the dash, I took it as the latter, but a case could be made for the former.
No, as far as we know, David is the only one who has one. Starting a few versions ago, if create-draft sees his name on the PG transcription, it will automatically add it to the metadata. I’m not sure why that didn’t happen this time.

It's an interruption, because there is no space between Miss and the
dash. So it should be a 1-em dash in our ebook.

Excellent, Luke. I forgot to say, great cover!
That was my logic re the em-dash, Alex, glad I wasn’t off-base (this time). This is ready for you. A note: A couple of the verse in chapter one had leading em-dashes on them in the scans. I had some of those in Gibbon early-on, and you said at the time those should be changed to ellipses, so I had Luke do that as well.

It’s volume 9 (I had to look through all of them, too, for the review), and you can’t download it, it’s one of the ones that’s locked to page-at-a-time only.
I did find the same vol 9 from that set on Internet Archive here, so we might want to change to use it. I didn’t look exhaustively, but I didn’t find a good standalone version, either.
