Hi John, Thanks for your offer to help. One thing I just realized is the Internet Archive maintains a separate, secret, closed source repository for the epub converter, so the sources that I was looking and fixing on Github ( https://github.com/internetarchive/epub) don't actually reflect reality. This combined with the private issue tracker which is separate from the public issue tracker that the community has access to greatly hinders community participation and contribution.
Since the Internet Archive is all about transparency, freedom of information, and dissemination of knowledge, I presume the situation is unintentional. Can you get it fixed so the community, both technical and non-technical, can help you help us? As an aside, I don't think it's worth having Gio queue this up for a production run until some of the other severe problems are fixed. Creating ePUBs from OCR'd texts isn't easy, but you might want to compare some of the Google Books public domain ePUB downloads to see what's possible. Thanks for your assistance. The offer is appreciated!
