@ -10,7 +10,7 @@ Proposed project:
Students interested in this project should use Github issues and pull requests to develop and propose teams. For example, students interested in a project but needing team members, and teams needing additional members should create an issue describing their interest and needs. Use issues to ask questions or seek clarification about the projects. To propose a team for a specific project, create a pull request adding the names of team members to the project page. You may also want to include roles, capabilities and the approach of the team.
Since not all projects will be pitched until September XX, I will not accept a proposal PR until September YY. But please do not wait until September XX to start a pull request even if your team is incomplete or you're still deciding - I will comment on PRs with the goal of improving them, and you can close the PR to withdraw the proposal through September XX. If there are competing proposals, I will give preference to the best developed proposal.

I expect to meet with teams weekly - I will use Slack for meetings and discussions. I think it's important to meet the team in person at least once, preferably multiple times over the course of a the school year.

## Plan
This project will create a Project Gutenberg web service for the Internet-in-a-Box. The team will develop an Ansible script to install a web server and search database into the module. Building on elements from the global Gutenberg website, the team will build a set of special-interest book lists to supplement the search facility - classics, scifi, history, etc. along with general directions on how to use the module.

## Goal
Build a demo with RasperryPi hardware, a Project Gutenberg plugin, amaze our friends and family.
## Whitespace
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.
