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
