Janice told the list about a month back that Bookshare was closing in on 4000 members, and Gustavo mentioned in the December newsletter that we have over 200 volunteers and that more than 60 had managed to earn a free subscription during 2005.

I agree wholeheartedly that some of this work might be done or at least aided by folks living outside of California. Also I wonder at the secrecy surrounding bookshare as exemplified by lack of information. Information we lack includes how many submitters we have, how many volunteers and how many members. I know others say keeping these matters from us is necessary to procure grants. I wonder why.
