Marissa,
According to the people who have been volunteers for longer than I have,
this subject has come up repeatedly over the years with no progress. It
seems there is still no progress made. A survey, if it is needed,, should
have been done long ago. This is not directed at you because you have not
been in charge of volunteers that long. But I thiink you need to take it
into consideration. So this is not, by any means, the first round, yet no
progress has been made.
Regards,
Sue S.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Page Stripping Update
Hello Everyone,
So we had our first round of discussion Monday on modifying the header
stripper and putting page numbers into the text body of the books we
produce, as opposed to our current book processing. There are a couple of
issues that we need to address both internally and within the broader
context of the Bookshare.org community before we can make a final decision
regarding the header stripper. One of the key issues is with regards to
feedback and input.
All of the feedback we've received from the volunteer list has been
extremely informative and vital to the stripper and page number discussion.
However, we recognize that the volunteer community and indeed the active
volunteer list members are only a small sampling of those who use
Bookshare.org. Before we make a book processing decision that impacts
everyone, we'd like to take a broader survey of our users. I will be working
with Operations to create a survey to that effect over the next several
weeks.
After we run the survey, we'll process the information and put together a
series of steps as to how to move forward. In the meantime, thanks for your
patience and thanks for bringing this to our attention. I hope this is the
first step in taking this conversation off the list and into some sort of
coherent policy change or statement.
Thanks,
Marissa
