[bksvol-discuss] Re: Announcing The Dragonlance Campaign Among Bookshare Volunteers

Grace,

You have no idea how happy this makes me feel. Lol I’ve sent you an email, 
Which I’m sure you will see, so let me know which books I can take on, if the 
ones I mentioned in the email are taken. Krin holds a very special place in my 
heart. Lol BTW, I love Silver dragons!! Wooohooo okay I’m shutting up now. Lol

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:

http://www.bookshare.org/volunteerSignup 
<http://www.bookshare.org/volunteerSignup%0a>  

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:
