If you take a moment to visit tanelorn.city/library/ you'll find that
I haven't been duplicating the texts. They all live in a texts/
directory, and then I link to them from multiple indexes as
appropriate. For example, Emma Goldman's _Anarchy and Other Essays_
appears in both "anarchism.gemini" and "feminism.gemini".
Ah, looks good; that's what I was suggesting a static site generator do.Does it get at all hairy maintaining it by hand?
I'm tempted to use SourceHut because I'm familiar with it, but it has
the potential to be a huge repository. While I'm a paying customer
(but only $5 a month) I don't want to put an unreasonable amount of
strain on the service.
I imagine it would be a pretty long time before it got to be a big repo,if people were manually curating the books. People aren't going to beediting the books very much, after all, only the index files (or scriptsand metadata used to generate the index files).
GitHub might be more convenient for potential contributors, but I'm
not sure I should entrust this to a Microsoft-controlled service.
Yeah, I only use GitHub as a mirror of my self-hosted Gitea. Which I'doffer for this task, but it's on residential cable and couldn't takelots of users.
