Yes, but my point was that there are so many combinations of software access
and software knowledge, among beginning proofers and experienced proofers
alike, that it's highly unlikely that a perfect match could be made. Maybe
Bookshare could just encourage new solo proofers to post to this list and
request the aid of a mentor or proofing-buddy. That way, it's less work for
Bookshare proper, and new volunteers who want help can get the guidance they
need.
To be honest, if I'd signed up as a solo volunteer, I probably would have
been uncomfortable being arbitrarily assigned to someone as their proofing
pupil. (But maybe that's just me!) Sorry, I'm not trying to be
argumentative, just adding my thoughts!
