At the end of October 2003, Project Runeberg's catalog listed 401 titles. For historic reasons, each of the 58 volumes of Nordisk familjebok turns up as a separate title in this list, as does each of the five volumes of Svensk Literatur-Tidskrift, so you could subtract 62 from 401 giving 339 titles as a more accurate number. Some of these titles have very little contents (a few poems), while others contain a lot (an entire encyclopedia).

A different approach is to count only the digital facsimile editions, since these measures relate to physical size (printed pages and volumes):

31 Oct 30 Sep Change ------ ------ ------ Scanned volumes 261 232 +29 (*) Scanned pages 127249 117886 +9363 Fully indexed pages 83545 77202 +6343 Pages proofread at least once 18837 15029 +3808

This means we are currently scanning faster than we are indexing, and we are indexing faster than we are proofreading. But since we are now proofreading and indexing some pages that were scanned years ago, our scanning should not only keep up with today's proofreading, but with the future pace of proofreading. We are certainly proofreading faster now than we scanned in 2001, when we didn't scan much at all.

(*) Of the 29 new volumes, 7 are explained by the fact that "wiedgust" (Gustav Wied, Mindeudgave) was reorganized from one big lump of 3414 pages into eight separate volumes, averaging 427 pages. This reorganization has no effect on the number of scanned pages. But 22 new volumes were also scanned during the month, from the following titles:

- Elisabeth Kuylenstierna-Wenster, "Äkta makar", 1925, http://runeberg.org/aktamaka/

- Henrik Ibsen, "Brand", 1903, http://runeberg.org/brand/

- Fredrika Bremer, "America in the Fifties", selected and edited by Adolph B. Benson, 1924, (**) http://runeberg.org/bremlett/

(**) This work was not scanned by us, but TIFF images were generously published by the U.S. Library of Congress, from where we downloaded them and added OCR text. This is Project Runeberg's first title in English. We have previously only published works in Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Icelandic, and Latin.

- Svenska Familj-Journalen, years 1864, 66, 67, 68, 71, 72, and 73, http://runeberg.org/famijour/

- Carl Wilhelm Scheele, "Chemische Abhandlung von der Luft und dem Feuer", 1777, (***) http://runeberg.org/scheelch/

(***) This is Project Runeberg's first title in German.

- P. A. Granberg, "Skaldestycken", 1813, http://runeberg.org/skaldest/

- Svenska Turistföreningens årsskrift, 1912, http://runeberg.org/stf/1912/

- C. Georg Starbäck, P. O. Bäckström, "Berättelser ur svenska historien", 1885, volumes 1-4, 6, 8-11 (5 and 7 are missing), http://runeberg.org/sverhist/

- Tidsskrift for Physik og Chemi, 1873, http://runeberg.org/tiphyche/1873/

During the month of October 2003, Project Runeberg's function for online proofreading received a total of 5690 contributions from 62 identified volunteers. The following volunteers were the most active:

Edits were made to 4434 different pages in 112 different works. Most edits were made to the following works. All volumes of "Nordisk familjebok" have been aggregated into one line in this list, which has not been the case in previous months.

Since proofreading has now been going on for a few months, it is also time to start looking for trends:

Except for the summer holiday months of June and July, we seem to have a quite constant level of activity over these months, with a slight increase in the last months. Almost all facsimile works are touch every month.
