When I first started this project, I was using Mozilla Firefox as a browser
nothing worked right. I switched to google chrome.  Everything works great.

Hi Scott,

I tried going to the link to the weekend book but it slowed down my whole
computer--not just the web browser, everything.  So I didn't get anything
done on that.  Boy am I glad others had better luck.

Today I tried one of the science books and that is working better.  The
browser is still slow, but workable and the rest of my computer isn't
affected (at least I can send you this email while the book page is still
open).  I've been using Firefox on Windows XP.  I'll try another browser
tomorrow and see if anything works better.

Folks,

 

Over the weekend you were generous and remarkably productive adding image
descriptions using our online tool at https://diagram.herokuapp.com/. 

 

Thank you! We are almost done with "Adventures" (89.3% complete) I think you
will have it done shortly. Amazing!

 

We have another set of books that are priority. Several of you have
particular aptitude for some of the science books that are needing image
description. Can you help?

 

 Attached is a list. Feel free to peruse them and pick a place to jump in!
