Are you saying that IA's OCR takes input from proofread texts from Project Gutenberg? Is there any documentation of how that loop works, and who's in charge of that?

Distributed Proofreaders downloads OCR texts from IA (among other places), manually cleans them up ("proofreading"), submits them to Project Gutenberg, which are then posted on the PG website. Then someone (I don't know who) uploads PG texts to Internet Archive (among other places).
