I will look at the list so far - they look very notable, but if there are
authors who have bios that need polishing before we tell the press (I think
this announcement is a good idea) then I would help. This is a good
opportunity to remind people that they can will their works into the public
domain when they die.

And that actually all excludes the American
public domain position,
which (as we found in 2009) makes for a much more complicated story.
Hosting by the WMF on Wikisource (say) must go by US law. But there is
Wikilivres, which is across the border in Canada. Any contacts there?
Wikilivres is basically Yann Forget's personal project (yannfo(a)gmail.com,
cc'd).
There's also gutenberg.org.au, for things that are PD under Australian
law (all of Orwell, for example).
