Hi Jim and all:
There is no particular schedule to when Marissa's list is updated, right now i
am shooting for once a week.
This depends on the workload of the bookshare folks at that given time.
As a whole, Bookshare has been very cooperative in making these secondary lists
available.
as a note, marissa's list is a 3 part list.
It contains books that have been submitted and people are validating, books
that bookshare.org is approving for final inclusion on the site and then a
capture of that days current step 1 page.
i put that at the bottom since that info is accesible by any volunteer who logs
in and clicks step 1.
I believe this approach is sufficient for now. There are other more pressing
issues for bookshare to use resources on and we have discussed those.
ok, my breaktime is over, back to work.
