We also want all of these
We also want all of these works in the library individually, so if anyone fancies taking on this mammoth task (or part of it, if it were split between a bunch of people it wouldn't take very long) it would be much appreciated!
i'm familiar with this
i'm familiar with this edition, and have done some editing over at the marxists archive a few years ago. I have time to spare, and can volunteer.

that would be brilliant!
What you can do is just click "add child page" to add texts to this archive. I have added volume 1 as an example. So to add texts to volume 1 just go to the Volume 01 page, then click "add child page".
To add subsequent volumes, go back to this front page, click "add child page" and create a page for Volume 02 and so on.
To copy the texts across easily, you can just go to the texts on our archive or any of the mirrors, right click on the page and click "view source", then copy the HTML straight into the body field of the libcom articles. They may look a bit messed up, but don't worry that's just because an admin will have to do is change the Input Format to be Full HTML (as we can't give Full HTML permissions to people we don't know. On this note if you can have someone or some group vouch for you then we can give you full HTML permissions. Send me a private message for more info)
any help with this would be really appreciated! And if you need any help or support you can ask here or in our feedback forum. We have a guide to posting content already here as well: http://libcom.org/notes/content-guidelines
I'll get started shortly. I
I'll get started shortly. I assume we will primarily want the individual works (as opposed to e.g. small newspaper articles) in html format, I'll post a few from volume one, and you can see how it goes. I have worked with the epub editing app Sigil as well, so might possibly create .epub versions as well at some point.
I read the entire Marx/Engels Werke auf deutsch in my youth. It took years
Oh no, you really want
Oh no, you really want everything? Does this mean, eg, Marx's awful adolescent romantic poetry too?
I failed to begin at the very
I failed to begin at the very beginning :(
As a result, on this page the link to "Preface to MECW Volume 1" comes after "Leading Article in No. 179...", whereas it should come before it, directly after "General Introduction"
Thanks
Perhaps there are a few
Perhaps there are a few things that can wait until we get to the end, at least I am working under that assumption
Anyone know the place where
Anyone know the place where he speaks about Bakunin and the Bakunists of the First International?
Yeah, on this note if you can

All 50 volumes of the MECW…
All 50 volumes of the MECW are available here as individual pdfs (doesn't seem like any of the above links provide individual pdfs?):
https://archive.org/details/MarxEngelsCollectedWorksVolume10MKarlMarx/Marx%20%26%20Engels%20Collected%20Works%20Volume%201_%20Ka%20-%20Karl%20Marx/
The wiki page on the MECW also shows what's in all the different volumes. If we want to upload all these volumes as individual pdfs I wouldn't mind doing it (not sure if that would be an issue or not; file size is large on some of the volumes, publisher might complain, etc.). The publisher also seems to have all 50 volumes available to read on their site (but not in pdf format).
Adri, that would be great,…
Adri, that would be great, to have the PDFs here. I think our maximum file size is 32 MB, so would be worth checking to see if the larger files are still readable if they got compressed to 32 MB, otherwise they could be split into two parts, if you were up for that?
Sounds good, will do it…
Sounds good, will do it later today. If they've been up for 6 years on the IA (and elsewhere) I don't guess it would be a problem if they're up on here.

exactly, thanks so much!
Np, still a work in progress…
Np, still a work in progress. The content description could use some tweaking and some additional info. I think there should also be some sort of comment about the fact that the project/collection originated from the Institute of Marxism-Leninism (the awful introductions and other commentary reflect this...).
Is this still a work in…
Is this still a work in progress? Looks like it is done now, which is fantastic, thanks! Will add in a bit of an intro explaining that
Yeah it's basically done…
Yeah it's basically done. Thanks for adding the content notice. I'll probably add more info to the content breakdown later today. I'll leave it to pogo to transcribe the remaining 48 volumes :).
Great stuff, thanks!
Great stuff, thanks!
The Marx-Engels-Werke (Marx…
The Marx-Engels-Werke (Marx-Engels Works—MEW) are also here if anyone's interested. They're all in German, so they can be useful if you want to see what Marx/Engels said in an original text (assuming the original text was in German). Bear in mind some of the notes and other editorial content, like in the MECW, are not always to be relied on (don't tell the Stasi I said that).
