We at @GitCitadel have now imported half of Project Gutenberg to our #Orly 🦉 relay (actively developed and supported by @ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ ᴏꜰ ᴍʟᴇᴋᴜ). You can see my branch on:

Gitea: Git with a cup of tea

next.orly.dev

clone of https://git.mleku.dev/mleku/next.orly.dev

The second-half import will start tonight (it's a lot!). Then we start importing Wikipedia, in the various languages offered. We'll look for more data sources, after that. Will be millions of mid-sized events, once we're done. If you want to be an #Alexandria Library mirror, you might need to pimp your hardware, but you won't have to increase your event size-limits. Our relay admin @cloud fodder and 121 others is going to host our first full mirror on wss://theforest.nostr1.com and you can then arrange streams, or whatever, with him. Our subscribers are making this good work possible! 🫶🏻 All of the items are in the public domain (no copyright) or are copyleft (we include a source tag and a clear notice that the source tag has to be maintained in a clone or fork). We will be regularly scanning the original sources for changes and updating the events. Once you have the basic set, you can just sync the updates. Also feel free to maintain a set of event forks, or to archive changes. Our biggest challenge is now making the books easily discoverable, from any client that can render 30040 events, by juicing up relay searches with some high-tech engineering magic voodoo stuff. @semisol and @MichaelJ are both actively working on getting that going. ♥ Both of their systems are getting major updates. Expect cool stuff to get cool even harder. 🫡 That's all for now, and GM.
