I just wanted to make a few comments on the proofreading, in case anyone feels like releasing software in a similar manner in future:
[...] the OCR-ed pages at HIP included a per-line checksum. This was good... but... it also checksummed the whitespace. This wasn't a problem in theory, because tabs were indicated by a special character. However, most lines had both tabs *and* spaces and there was no way to see where the spaces were because they were overrriden by the tab (e.g. "mov<sp><tab>ax,23<sp><sp><tab><sp><tab>; Stuff").
How about a book full of 2D barcodes? As a plus perhaps the book would be more compact, as you could gzip it first -- the full source tree looks to be over a foot of doublesided paper!
