Dear all,

I've been able to scan the play Les enfants du capitaine Grant from Les
voyages au theatre. You can find the scans, some 65 large tiff files, at
http://www.phys.uu.nl/~gdevries/grant/. As you can see, I had forgotten
five pages the first time around, so the order of the pages is a bit
screwed up. Sorry about that.

Wouldn't it be a nice idea to OCR this text and put it in the Virtual
Library? If we combine our efforts, it shouldn't be too much work. I
propose we divide the scans in chuncks of 10 files, then anyone who wants
to contribute, can take one of those chunks and OCR them.

The quality of the scans might be insufficient to do a good OCR. In that
case, we could copy the text by hand. A bit more troublesome, but if we
work with smaller chunks, we could still do it.

Cheers,
Garmt.
