Have times really changed that much? I have been around since the very start of the project and the goal always was to be an archive of ALL the anarchist texts. While impossible, the sentiment has always been there. It definitely has been incredible and really nice to see how popular the English language project has become, which is something I didn't really expect.
I'm not sure where these Bay Area Anarchist Library comments are coming from. Yes, a few of the founders of the project were in the Bay Area, but everyone else doing the project, including one of the main librarians for many years are not Bay Area people. The project is very international and some who have tried to critique it have even gone as far as calling it the USA anarchist library. It's not and with the addition of new language projects, the library workers have really spread around the world.
Some comments so far on the forum, not just in this post, but in some others have been pretty ridiculous with Anonymous assuming they know absolutely everything about the project and end up being completely wrong. It's kind of incredible that some commenters think this is okay, but I'm afraid there are also a few known trolls already leaving absurd comments. Or perhaps people are afraid to ask questions? That would be a much nicer thought.
times are a changing?
