I agree. The Bookshare staff has expressed concern about the backlog in
the validation pool. As has been pointed out, however, it often takes more
time to fix someone else's book, and yet we get one-fifth the credit. With
all due respect, perhaps Bookshare should reconsider their credit policy, if
they really want to see the number of books on the Step One page brought
down to a more reasonable level.
