It's true that Jake and Gerald have
suggested/requested that the admin queue be approved
on a first-in, first-out basis, but apparently there's
an engineering problem involved, and Gustavo has no
way of taking the oldest books first. I'm sure he
would if he could. That's why I thought if we held off
uploading books for a while he could make a dent in
the list of books that have been sitting there rather
than spend his time approving or disapproving the
newly uploaded ones.
Oh, well. It was just an idea. smile
