I noticed that The Adventures of Sally by P.G. Wodehouse is listed as a first project option, but that it has been the subject of two threads already.

If this project is available (and still suitable as a first project) I would be happy to take it on. If not, I do have an alternative I can submit as a separate thread.

Yes, you can definitely work on that.

Please see the previous threads for introductory information and any
gotchas.

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! :)

Thanks for the resources.

The GitHub is up with the first three commits at: GitHub - systemchalk/p-g-wodehouse_the-adventures-of-sally

I've had very little experience with markdown so I'm sure I'll benefit from a re-read of the style manual and send a flurry of questions. That said, the instructions have been straightforward to follow and I do have the 'guide to the guide' to fall back on.

Fortunately we don't use markdown anywhere in the process!

Robin will be managing this project with Weijia reviewing.
