I don't care what is submitted. I'm not looking for notes within the ebook, although that would be great, and seems the most direct.

Ideally, yes. But I don't need a detailed list of what changed, just some sort of statement whether it is a "true" original work.
Using AlexBell as an example (again, sorry for singling him out). In one of his contributions, he says:
Quote:
... The source text was Project Gutenberg 1917-h.htm. I have corrected typos, curled quotes, and modernised punctuation, spelling, and hyphenation using oxforddictionaries.com.
As always if you find any errors please let me know so I can correct them. ...

In a conversation in a separate thread, he posts that he made additional changes ("gay" --> "light hearted"). There is no mention of this in the contribution thread.
I have an aversion to posting something that may be considered negative in a contributors thread.
So I think a central thread with a quick reference of which contributors are/aren't doing modernizations would be helpful as a quick reference. Someplace where I can go to do a quick check, and than do a more detailed search if I have any doubts.
I would hope that contributors could post to this main thread saying that they are/aren't doing modernizations.
Or maybe I'm over thinking this.
