This long article is dated May 2008. With many thanks to the great people who helped me, especially Michael Hart, founder of Project Gutenberg, and Russon Wooldridge, founder of NEF. All the mistakes are mine - my mother tongue is not English, but French. This article is also available in French: Le Projet Gutenberg (1971-2008).
