Here you will find some of the Plucker projects I'm working on. This list is by-no-means exhaustive, and all of the projects listed here are in varying degrees of completion and complexity (with the Wikipedia project being far and away, the largest to date!).

Why are you doing these things?
"I believe in the Plucker project. I've supported it for 8-9 years now in code, CVS hosting, website hosting and other pieces where I could help. I want to be able to provide other people access to materials to read and learn from when they are WAY offline, with no power for miles and miles."

    Creating XPCOM Components book in Plucker format

    January 11th, 2005 desrod Posted in Applications, E-Books, Programming No Comments »

    Below are some screenshots of the Creating XPCOM Components book converted to Plucker format. With the author’s permission, I am making this available here in a handheld format for the community to enjoy (thanks go to Doug Turner for the permission, thanks Doug!).

    The original material was provided in a fairly-clean HTML format. Some additional adjustments had to be made to the HTML to correct it for validation. Two versions of this converted work are available; one in high-resolution format, and one in low-resolution format.
