New PDFs of Extropy Magazine with OCR

[Giulio Prisco]

I uploaded to the github repository Extropians/Extropy the full sets
of PDFs of the Extropy Magazine, now with OCR, produced by Alessio
Pecoraro. I've been checking them to make sure the text is searchable
and copyable, and so far it seems that yes, 98+ percent of the text
is searchable and copyable, with the exception of a few points where
the quality of the PDF scans was too poor. I'll produce a single
downloadable PDF with all issues, but first, please do a couple of
random checks (search for text, copy/paste text) and let me know.

I produced a single downloadable PDF with all issues #1-#17 of the
Extropy Magazine, slightly compressed (223 MB). The text is searchable
and copyable (95+ percent).

If you have better scans of the individual issues, please upload them
to https://github.com/Extropians/Extropy

Thanks Giulio!    It makes me nostalgic to be reminded what Extropy and the Extropian List used to be like.

I have that feeling now and then but I try to think that was the necessary, preliminary dreaming phase. Now we are moving toward planning and doing those things in the real world, which is messy and much harder. We had to realize that the advances we want to see won't be easy and will take much longer than we hoped. But this is real engineering in the real world!
