Having been in the software industry for 25 years in Silicon Valley, the new
Bookshare website is doing quite well. Not perfect, but pretty good for such a
massive overhaul of the entire system. For one thing, the system has been up
the entire time. This doesn't sound like it would be hard to do, but actually
it is a major accomplishment! Things could be MUUUUUUUUUUCH worse. Trust me on
this!

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] So many problems!!
So many problems!! I guess engineering will have to
prioritize and some of us won't be happy. But
submissions and uploading take precedence, should
think, over just knowing what's new. On the other
hand, if the recent additions aren't known, no one can
download them unless he/she is waiting for a
particular book and keeps checking the collection. Is
this sort of a Catch 22? Not exactly, I know, but sort
of?(I started reading that book but gave up).
