Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia set. This index makes the set actually useful!
Note that most of the pages have not yet been proofread, but you can use the

to add other sets of links -- e.g. The Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia,
Wace's Dictionary of Biography, relevant links from the Encyclopedia
Britannica, etc. If you have good ideas for resources to link, let
me know. I'd also happily receive any suggestions for improving the
user interface. Thanks to Matt Koop for the programming.
If someone wants to help add links to the wwec, all I need is a text file

After three days of mind-numbing all-day forget-to-eat-lunch
programming and data entry, CCELng is now in business. The new
interface is in place, with indexes generated by perl scripts.
Acquiring a book is a matter of running an "acquire" script and typing
in a few bits of information. The script adds the relevant info to
the database and optionally mirrors the book on the CCEL server.
Now that there are separate "classics" and "all" lists, I'll probably
add books a bit more freely, without worrying as much whether they are
classics. That together with "acquire" may mean somewhat faster
acquisitions in the future.
I struggled with (and even lost sleep over!) finding a balance
between simplicity of use and enough different options in selecting
what books you want to see. (I was thrilled when I finally figured
out how to keep the number of options small enough that
forms/javascript/php programs weren't needed.) I ended up with
Classics (by author), All (by author), All (by title), and the other
categories you see listed. Are there any additional categories that
would be useful? Or some that could be dropped?
2000-08-07
- Added the Christian Classics Ethereal
Hymnary, a work in progress by Stephen Hutcheson. It contains
hundreds of indexed hymns, midi files, sheet music, and Noteworthy
Composer files.
- Volunteer work on the digital facsimile edition of Whyte's Lord, Teach Us to Pray completed.
This is the first book completed by volunteers using the digital
facsimile system. It looks good! The last step, the check-over by an
editor, has not been completed yet, though.

The transition to Calvin College is making good progress.
- All files (hopefully) have been transferred from the
Wheaton server
- A new Search Engine has
bee installed -- htdig -- and it seems much better than
Excite had been. A little slow when there are lots of hits,
perhaps.
- Early crashing problems have been resolved and the server
seems much more stable -- though I did have one crash when
trying to index a CD-ROM with the htdig search engine.
- FTP access should be working
- Theoretically, accesses should be faster, with a faster
server and a faster internet connection here at Calvin. Anyone
notice a difference?
1999-07-02
I have moved to Calvin College in Grand Rapids, MI, and the CCEL
has moved along with me. The new URL is ccel.org or www.ccel.org,
though the old URL of ccel.wheaton.edu should continue to work.
The server at Calvin college is being used, though no doubt it will
take me some time to get the bugs all worked out. FTP access and
searching are not working yet.

- Added The Journal of John Wesley, in HTML [1239K] or

- Added a preliminary version of Calvin's
Commentaries, complete. This edition needs further work and is
subject to change. It is a result of the joint efforts of volunteers
for the CCEL and the OnLine Bible project and the good folks at
Ages Software. The files currently
on line are HTML exported from Word 2000 and modified with a perl
program to remove some of the ms-specific extensions to HTML. The
files are large, averaging around 1MB and topping out at over 2MB.
Skip Gaeda and Bruce Lambert are working on conversion to ThML and
thence to OnLine Bible format. If you are interested in helping
out, let me know (whp).

development.
