Hi, I recently found Standard Ebooks, and would love to help out! 

I thought I'd start with the task of updating legacy spreadsheets, since that's in my wheelhouse. Is there a spreadsheet I can start with?

Any information I should know besides what's covered at https://standardebooks.org/contribute/spreadsheets#creating-a-new-spreadsheet?

Thanks,
-Aidan

Hi Aidan, great!

Yes, that's all there is to it. Make a copy of the template and start
converting.

Once you're finished with one, let me know and I'll take a look. Then
we'll copy it into our own account and update the website.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Hi Aidan - if you're looking to do research as well as formatting, the H.G. Wells short fiction spreadsheet definitely needs some attention, and the omnibus itself needs to have a bunch of stories added.

Hi Alex, I got a little intimidated by the Ambrose Bierce legacy spreadsheet; but I noticed the Bradbury short fiction hardly needed any work to be in the new format, so I did that one real quick; it should be shared with you at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BATM_GjsnHmoB2nzo90IDfEUB4JsNE61sOJXSyP7IIY/

Asher - I probably will do research, too; but starting slow for now!

Good start, thanks!

We already have some of his work in
https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/ray-bradbury/short-fiction

Can you update the spreadsheet to include those items?

If they're already on the sheet, put the omnibus name, "Short Fiction"

You can also remove the "custom columns" column if there are none.

Also, you can fill out the 'type' column for all of these, which will be
'short story'

I've updated the sheet with the information in https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/ray-bradbury/short-fiction

OK, everything looks good, great work!

I've copied the spreadsheet into our account and added you as an editor.
Please edit our copy from now on to make any changes, you can delete
your copy.

Now, if you'd like a bigger challenge, you can try completing the
spreadsheet, which is currently incomplete.

This may not be *that* hard since we can assume there are no more
transcriptions or page scans for any other of his short fiction. So you
would simply be adapting
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Bradbury_short_fiction_bibliography
into our spreadsheet. Might be something that could be easily scripted.

I've adapted information from the wikipedia bibliography. I tried to cut out obviously less useful information, but I erred on the side of leaving it in, since it's always easier to remove it later than know to look for it to add it back in. Let me know if there are any improvements I can make!

OK, excellent work, I think it looks great! There are two stories we can
add now so I've moved it to the 'available' section of the spreadsheet.

Looks like you've got the hang of it. You can start working on any of
the other spreadsheets now if you like. If you're going to convert any,
now is the time to confirm that the research in them is complete and
we're not missing any items (like we were for Bradbury)

Great! I'll probably do Thornton Burgess and/or G.K. Chesterton poetry next week.

If I get to it, do I understand correctly that the legacy Ambrose Bierce sheet should be split into multiple sheets in the current format?

Hi, I'd like to help as well.  I took a stab at Descartes:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zsU4tZz__F2jJtm2BJelo2cVMqnf6XEbRLqzOP1N2PY/edit?usp=sharing

I found some new information (maybe) about his works:

Rules, Search After Truth, Passions, Notes is in a 1911 first edition of H&R vol 1 that can be found on IA.
Objections and Replies + Letter to Dinet is in H&R vol 2 which also has a 1911 first edition on IA.  OCR text is available for these.

Clarifying:  the 1911 edition was already known, but apparently doesn't contain everything that is known for those titles.  It comes down to a decision about whether SE should wait for a long time to get it all, or work with what exists in PD today.

Great!

You don't have to split out Bierce, we can just make one big spreadsheet
for all of his small works. The type column tells us what type of work
it is and the omnibus column tells us where we think it should go.

Great, thanks.

You'll have to explain what you wrote because all of those abbreviations
and names are totally obscure to me.

Good start on the spreadsheet. For the transcription/page scans columns,
those must only contain URLs, and no notes. Notice how they fail
validation with the red mark in the corner of each cell. You can put all
notes in the "notes" column, or create custom columns if you feel it's
necessary.

Is this currently the entire list of all of his works? If not then we
have to fill out the spreadsheet with complete research info.

Ok, here is attempt 2 for Descartes.  I've looked for more material, and cleaned up the URL flags.  I've also included new columns to the right that show public domain given the dates of translations available.

OK, great work, thanks! I've made a copy and updated our spreadsheets page.

For spreadsheet purposes we're only interested in the publication date
of the translations because that determines whether we can work on it or
not. So I've moved the translation column to the publication column.

Since his collected letters seem long we should also do a Letters
omnibus (though that's impossible for another few decades anyway.)

The transcription column should point to a *usable* transcription, e.g.
Gutenberg, Wikisource. Archive.org is merely raw OCR and not usable per se.

Thanks for putting this together!
