Hello,
I'd like to produce Twilight Sleep by Edith Wharton as my first project. It looks like there were previous attempts to do this, but the title isn't currently on the active projects list. Please let me know if it's okay to start working on it.

Great, that one would be a good start.
There's an epigraph, so you'll have to add a half title page. A
well-crafted regex can probably replace all the drop caps with their
characters in one go. Otherwise should be pretty straightforward.
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. Please follow
it exactly:
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 assign you a manager and reviewer.
Have fun! 🙂
