Ann and all:
I would agree with the "special category" for those who give so much time
and effort, but again, if there are no books to proof because a certain kind
of book always has holds it gives the "normal" proofer only religious books
to proof. Nothing wrong with religious books if you like them, but it is
not my cup of tea! Maybe those working on series can have the "excellent"
designation and those of us who do not have attachment to a scanner could
work on good books in the collection or something?

Hi all,
Um, Madeleine, looks like we may have to do some negotiating here. I'm
a proofer, and I have no problem perse with your new policy, but unlike
some, I'm working, have other projects I'm involved in, and may take
several weeks to proof a book. Fortunately I don't have more than one
or two books on tap at any time. However, I totally agree with both
Judy and Valery that something needs to be done here about this blanket
policy. These women have spent hours doing difficult tasks. Cindy has
also done some of this stuff, most notably in my case, The Redwall
Cookbook. We need to make exceptions for special volunteers like
these. Volunteers whose talents and expertise are vital to Bookshare.
Could we somehow compromise on this? Could these folks be placed in a
special category? Could volunteers be categorized in two groups, say
regular and expert? Could these "expert" volunteers be given a special
status whereby they are allowed more than three holds?
Me thinks we need to compromise through some discussion. Could we
maybe meet at Blind Cool Tech and discuss this? Could we meet on Skype
or something? I'm afraid you may be losing some expert volunteers, and
you sure don't want to do that. Please, Madeleine, let's discuss this
before we write this in stone?
Ann P.
