Project Gutenberg has around 50 times more than Standard Ebooks (~75 000 vs. ~1 400) and in a lot of different languages, Standard Ebooks only cares about English. Putting only 1/5 of the amount of work into it would be a drop in the bucket.

Edit: In general I agree, it's hard to figure out how to contribute to Project Gutenberg.

    My thinking was they need to do a project like Wikimedia's Wiki Loves Momuments, where you put some banners up for a month out of the year, see if you can get donors to put up some money to reward people who do a good job at cleaning up some of the texts they have, and just make it an event about it to try to draw in new contributors, and of course some might end up sticking around after the event and continue contributing
