Nor could the proofreader reject the book, if it's beyond the current ability.
There are books that can be done, and well, in two hours or so. Those wonderful Nature's Children books can be read thoroughly in two hours. The other day I had a block of time and did three of them. (I was in book heaven!) Granted, I didn't do another thing, and worked hard, but it is doable.
I don't know what the answer is. Mickey----- Original Message ----- From: "EVAN REESE" <mentat3@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Since the site knows the exact time the book was downloaded, and the exact time the book is sent back up to the admin queue, it could be programmed to not permit a book to be uploaded until a specified period of time has passed. That way, a proofreader could not turn the book around within a set period of time, say 2 hours or 1 day, or whatever.Evan----- Original Message ----- From: "E." <thoth93@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, March 04, 2009 3:47 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Hold forsIt may be me, however I am having trouble following your idea here. At 03:41 PM 3/4/2009, you wrote:One thing that might be helpful to at least deter some of the download and imediate uploads would be to have a minimum amount of time a proofreader can have a book out for proofing. It that check-in link wasn't viewable for say, a day or two, the proofreader has to a, remember to check it back in, and be isn't tempted to download and upload in the same five minutes. Maybe the inability to immediately check a book back in would make someone go "well since i have this book anyway i might as well read it." Given the renew process, the technological capability of such a thing is already in place. I doubt it would be that complicated to implement. Sure, it's not fool-proof.
