Hi, Tom. I can understand what you're saying about this, but sometimes, if 
books are poorly done, really long or anything like that, it might take longer 
to get them done. Some validators are perfectionists and want their books to be 
as good as they can make them. Others just do the bare minimum and let it go at 
that. Some books would be rejected if a validator who really cared about that 
particular book couldn't keep it until it was worthy of putting up and as good 
as it could be made. This might not be an issue for some, but for other books, 
they may be rare or something that most people might not think about 
rescanning, so that book might not ever make it to the site if that happens. 
These are all just thoughts out loud and probably at least some reasons for why 
there is no limit. take care.

  Gerald, A second thought, Has Bookshare ever decided to limet the number of 
edit renewals allowed?  It would seem that after a  reasonable period, the book 
should be returned to the step-one Q.  Tom

    Tom,

    Janice has said that it's been a bit of a mad house around there since back 
in December due to anual end of the year tasks and getting things backunder 
control since the holidays.  Once things calm down a bit I would imagine that 
Gustavo will whittle down the Awaiting Admin Approval queue.  As for if he ever 
gets to the bottom, I believe he did that two or three times last year and 
ended up sending out a message that he had nothing to approve.

    HTH

    Gerald

    Hi Everyone, been laying low for a while.  But I have a question, do you 
think Gustavo will ever get to the bottom of the administrative Q?  Still have 
books sitting there from September, and my Dreamland series by Dale Brown 
has-never been found apparently, lost, "lost beneath the streets of Boston," 
their fate never to be learned, as the song goes.  The answers I get are vague, 
that the books are out being edited, since May or June?  Tom
