Please let me know if I can start working on this book.

Thanks!

The text says otherwise, but both of those links are to Tom Brown.

[pcha...@gmail.com]

I needed to change the links to match text. Thank you Vince!! 

Here are the updated links:

OK. Make sure to cut all the illustrations, and send a link to your repo
once you get started.

Let me know if I can give you a hand. I came here tonight to see if I could get started on this. Happy to fork and open PRs to your repo once you post it.

[pcha...@gmail.com]

Thank you! Not sure how the PRs would work in this scenario. This is definitely an Alex question!

[pcha...@gmail.com]

[Weijia Cheng]

We don’t do collaborations due to the linear nature of developing an ebook. If you would like to contribute, please take a look at the suggested first productions list and see if anything would interest you for a solo project.

[pcha...@gmail.com]

If this is your first production for SE, and you would really like to work on this book, happy to hand it over. I have only created the initial commit in the repo.

If the editors are ok with it, I can just pick another book to work on.

[Alex Cabal]

OK, Vince will manage this with Weijia reviewing.

[Weijia Cheng]

Ok, review noted.

[Andrew Kozlik]

I'd hate to step on your toes with this one but I really would like to do this as my first go if possible. I've forked your repo and happy to take it from here.

[pcha...@gmail.com]

No worries. Happy to let you take this book. Go for it!

[Alex Cabal]

OK, please send a link to the new repo. Your manager and reviewer will
still be the same. Please review this thread to pick up the requirements
for this book.

[Alex Cabal]

Also, don't fork the repo. Instead, start from scratch. It's hard to say
where a person stopped in the process, and if this is your first book
with us, you should begin the process from the start so you familiarize
yourself with it.

[Andrew Kozlik]

No problem - I started a new one from scratch for that exact reason. Toolset is all configured and my initial commit is up.

https://github.com/akozlik/a-a-milne_the-house-at-pooh-corner

Can someone verify that I pulled out the correct pieces on the body.xhtml? I removed all of the header meta tags but I was unclear about the html tags and left them in. I can remove if they're not needed and start with just the first <h1>. I get the feeling I should have removed those.

[Andrew Kozlik]

I found my mistake. Chapters are successfully split and cleaned. Thank you!

Why no illustrations?

[Vince]

SE doesn’t include decorative illustrations in our books; see this thread for one of the longer discussions about it (coincidentally also about a Pooh book).

That is our general rule - no decorative illustrations. Different editions may have been illustrated differently and in general we're not interested in that, with few exceptions.

[Dina Michel]

Hello! I'm interested in volunteering to contribute to the Standard Ebooks catalog. 

I saw that The house at Pooh Corner by A. A. Milne is on the First Production section of the Wanted Ebooks list (and is not on the Active Projects list).

Please let me know if I may proceed with this project. 

I'm currently reviewing everything on the "Producing an Ebook for Standard Ebooks" page of the Standard Ebooks website, but if there are any additional resources I should reference before starting, please let me know.

Thanks!

Dina

[Alex Cabal]

Great, that one would be a good start.

This has been attempted before, please check the previous mailing list
thread for any notes or gotchas. Note that you must remove the
illustrations, as a general rule SE ebooks don't include decorative
illustrations.

This book is also part of a series so make sure to include the series
information in the metadata. See the manual for how to do that.

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! :)
