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."

The fonts you see used here are part of the “Plucker Free Font Collection“. Download them, install them on your Palm handheld and take advantage of better contrast, rendering and font hinting with anti-alias fonts for Plucker.

  1. THANK YOU! I was trying to do this on my own and needless to say had lots of trouble. If you have time, could you let me know which “distiller” you used to convert the documentation? I tried with Sunrise but java ran out of memory.
