my little wiki library, very soft open ;P
« on: July 02, 2017, 02:42:06 PM »
Hi all, I'm still not dead, in case anyone was wondering  :lookround:

A few weeks back I got pdfs working on MLW and added a Library section.
http://mylittlewiki.org/wiki/Library

Breyer600 of course had many books already scanned and kindly got the library started.

She (and others) have asked the questions I had been pointedly trying to ignore, "what about G4 books?" "what about hasbro being a stickler for copyright?"

After digging around I found this site which is a free open library that uses opensource software that anyone is free to use. https://openlibrary.org/

I can't think of any reason why I can't get that same software running on the wiki's server.... so I will spend a few days on that before the end of the summer. If it takes more than a few days of banging my head against the computer it will have to wait... but best case scenario:

-the wiki will have a free, legit library containing all the MLP/moondreamers/carebear/rainbowbrite/etc books from the 80s and 90s (and all the reboot biz we can stand)
-books could be borrowed and downloaded to kindle and all that kind of legit biz
-finally we can let little kids read our vintage books ;)

Will you be doing the G1 comics as well?  I have a couple of the "My Little Pony and Friends" ones, and am looking for more with Fairy Tails artwork and stories.

Yesssssssssss! I am so looking forward to somepony(s) very nice sharing their G1 comics with us all ;) I have only ever read a few pages of G1 comic scans, but the canon and stories look so interesting and so different from what was animated!!!

That is very cool! I love that some of the coloring books are available... I forsee a coloring party in my future. Forget those dang adult coloring books that take several hours to do one small area of color... I like coloring the kid books much better. :D
