[bksvol-discuss] Re: Admin. Q

My understanding is that Bookshare prefers that we not validate our own submissions. I would only do this if the book were on the step one page for more than three months or I really knew why validators were having problems with the book.

Tom, I hope that never happens. Books sometimes sit on
the step-one list for a long time, when no one seems
to want them. I've taken a lot so they won't get
rejected--at one point Marissa was going to reject or
delete books that had been on the list for more than
six months. I plan to validate every one that I have,
and if I live long enough, take more. I figure they
might as well sit in my queue a on the page one queue,
especially when people complain that that list is too
long.

Time and time again I've suggested that people
validate their own books *if* they see that they're
not moving off the download list, and some people do,
but it seems that some other people don't really 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
