Bookshare Volunteers, This is the year-end final countdown. Official results will come from Fred and Alisa in 2012 but Bookshare scanners and proofers have submitted a remarkable number of books this year. With a late start in October (because that's when the tool was ready) image describers have also achieved an amazing number. At this moment you are less than 100 image descriptions away from your stretch goal. My guess is that at this pace you will get there before New Year's Day. A few people have taken up my invitation to write to me with technical issues or questions on how to describe. They are now out there contributing too. Feel free to write me up until New Year's Eve to get help: Scottr@xxxxxxxxxxxx Scott Rains Benetech Fellow
