Thanks, Peter, for the clarification. I was wondering
why so many people seem to be leaving the
bookshare-discuss list. But I could use a little more
clarification (though maybe I'm alone in this).
I'm not sure to what third-party applications and
devices refers, or content. I also note that requests
for books to be scanned, which I suppose is what you
mean by wish list, come to the bksvol-discuss list..
I seem to remember when I signed up for bookshare a
year ago -- or was it two years ago now -- and asked
what the difference was between the two discussion
groups that bookshare-discuss was where people
discussed books and that the bks-vol group was where
people discussed scanning & validation problems, as
well as other topics of interest to volunteers, both
members and non-members. So I thought the bookshare
one wouldn't be of interest to me. I recently signed
up for it because, from posts in the bks-vol
discussion, there seemed to be interesting people in
the bookshare one as well as in the bks-vol one and I
thought maybe I was missing something. But mostly what
I've seen in the few weeks I've been getting it have
been repeats of what's in the bks-vol group, or posts
of the same type, even though they're from different
people and not duplicates.
Could you please clarify a bit more, i.e., be a bit
more specific as to what should be discussed in the
bookshare-discuss list? Books desired and missing
pages and duplicated books and seemingly missing books
and occasioally non-bookshare topics that friends
(which we all have come to be) talk about, like
weather and college and placenames, seem to be
discussed in the bksvol-discuss group. Maybe we need
only one discussion group instead of two. Are the
people who've dropped subscriptions to
bookshare-discuss on the other list? Have they said
why they're dropping, other than, in one case,
receiving too much mail?
Cindy
