Although the scope of this project is to build a Project Gutenberg plugin, wherever possible, we should think about making sure that we pave the way for future plugins with free ebooks from other content sources - for example textbooks or academic books. We should also think about the needs of users who are disconnected from the global internet.
## Proposed Team
Zion Fung - Front End
Vincent Lee - Back End
Alex Schlumpf - Front End
Sean Trinh - Back End (Experince with Ansible)
Hariharan Vijayachandran - Front End

## More about our team
We are passionate in supporting an open source non profit. We have a wide range of skill sets that would be directly applicable to this project from dealing with cloud infrastructure to creating
full stack applications with secure back ends and visually pleasing front ends.
## Our Plan
MVP: Use Ansible to download a basic server from git that displays books which you can download.
Section off types of books(genres) by either labels provided or if not, comparing book titles to info from online/the project gutenburg website.
MVP: Use Ansible to download a basic node server from git that displays books in pure html which you can download.
Section off types of books by either genres/labels provided or if not, comparing book titles to info from online/the project gutenburg website.
### Ideas
1) We would like to provide an interactive website using react. This is however dependent on the types of computers/ devices that the users would have access to.
2) Provide some caching of all time popular books from the gutenberg website so that users would be able to have quick access to commonly read books without betraying privacy.
3) Depending on the types of devices they have it might be a lot more beneficial to provide the users the ability to read online then download.
4) Use cookies so that users don’t have to login but can see their recently viewed books.
5) Scalability as in if there are multiple pi’s in an area could we have one act as a load balancer.
Additional hardware required:
Raspberry Pi wifi module (depending on which version)
Provide a interactive frontend using React and scalable backend.
Provide user friendly features:
1) Login
2) Recommended Books
3) Recently Viewed Books
4) Trending on your network
5) Read books on the site
6) Rate books
