Hi, Cindy and all, I like your ideas, Cindy, as honestly, there are a lot of books that are already in the collection and/or are not being scanned right now, etc., and the present format is a little hard to find things. This could possibly make things better. ----- Original Message ----- From: <popularplace@xxxxxxxxx>

That's wonderful. If it's a wiki does that mean people can add their own wishes and what they're scanning?Thanks to Julie, who's been posting the lists on her site, I've discovered a lot of errors and I'm thinking especially, after reading Jamie' P's recent post of simplifying the wish list Rather than trying to add things in alphabetical order or togroup titles under author, I'll add requests at the top of the list as they come in. I'll include genre if it's easy to ascertain. That way scanners can search for genre or a particular author or even a particular book. You won't need to know date added because the most recently requested books will be at the top of the list.i will put fiction and poetry and children's lit in a Fiction section at the top of the list and a nonfiction section below that. I will start cleaning up the present list along those lines in the next few days or week or two.Pavi, to whom and in what format, i.e. html or rtf, should I send the list for posting? Julie, I'll send you my revised wish list. Will you be continuing to post the lists on your site, at least for a while? Thank you so much, Julie for your patience and help these past few days. you have more of the former than I smileCindyWISH LIST (CALLED REQUESTED ADDITIONS TO THE BOOKSHARE COLLECTION)IS AVAILABLE AThttp://www.friendsofbookshare.org/wish_list/wish_list.htm www.lljfm.net/bookshare/home.htm A LIST OF BOOKS CURRENTLY BEING SCANNED IS AVAILABLE AT http://www.friendsofbookshare.org/ www.lljfm.net/bookshare/home.htm --- On Thu, 4/2/09, Pavi Mehta <pavim@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:From: Pavi Mehta <pavim@xxxxxxxxxxxx>Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Wish List & Books Being Scanned List on wikiTo: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Thursday, April 2, 2009, 2:22 PM Hi Shane, Thanks for your question and suggestion. We all know how much Cindy does as is, and I don't want to add to her current workload. Also, with the current system the Benetech wiki on which the lists are hosted can only be edited through the internal network.
