Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Announcing The Dragonlance Campaign Among Bookshare
Volunteers
Once upon a time the world of Krynn passed through The Age of Despair and into
The Age of Mortals. Transporting the inhabitants of the Dragonlance into The
Age
of Bookshare would require a hero with powers of perseverance and leadership
beyond that of a mere mortal. With over 190 books in the Dragonlance series and
less than 70 in the Bookshare collection that hero was long awaited.
Such a hero has arisen.
And she is calling forth a mighty army of scanners and proofers.
It is with great satisfaction, and over-the-top florid language, that I
annnounce that Grace Pires has organized a project to bring the entire
Dragonlance series into Bookshare with the help of her fellow volunteers.
All who work on this project should understand that the publisher, Wizards of
the Coast, is likely to eventually sign as a partner and provide at least some
of their Dragonlance books as PQ. This will displace volunteer-scanned copies.
But what intrepid band of heroes ever set out on an adventure without expecting
plenty of risk?
Shortly Grace will post two lists to be worked on - one for adult readers and
one for younger readers. Consider teaming up with other volunteers or
recruiting and mentoring Drgonlnce-lovers who you know as new volunteers and
send them here:

True to the trend for 2011 Grace will lead this series completion project on
her
own with minimal input from myself or other Bookshare staff. Contact Grace
directly to tell her which books you will work on. Email for Grace Pires:
