OP here, I doubt that the website is "a SUBSET of Project Gutenberg". This is not mentioned anywhere in the website. As mentioned in PG website, while you can use the book freely, "The name 'Project Gutenberg' is a registered trademark.". I guess this is the reason they didn't mention PG.

Now I remember, that was the reason I wasn't more clear about the connection to PG when I wrote the website https://github.com/gitenberg-dev/giten_site/. Since then my co-founder Eric Hellman has been doing engineering work for Project Gutenberg, as well as running the rest of the Free Ebook Foundation, which is the parent org of GITenberg, free-programing-ebooks, and Unglue.it.

I think that the GITenberg collection contains all of the books in PG. At this point, the creation of new repos is automatically done when Distributed Proofreaders creates a new book in PG. Originally, I didn't include around 400 PG books due to their creators claiming copyright, and didn't include Bruce Sterling's book because he wouldn't let me re-license it creative commons rather than his pseudo-public-domain license.

Not much has been happening with GITenberg itself in the past few years. But luckily, a lot of the concepts and code are getting upstreamed into PG. Which in my opinion, is way way better.

Thanks for clarification.
