Where is John Glass? I thought he was going to have something to do with volunteers.

No, sadly we havne't gotten a response, and as Evan pointed out, I've raised the question before, only not in relation to this particular book. But there are so many books that have been on that list for months and months--all the BSOs, for example, and I've had others there for months before finally being accepted. And only one of the books added last time was from the admin queue.
Perhaps that's why there's now a Good copy of Disability politics in the collection when someone else went to the trouble of scanning it and Lisa tried to validate it. It was probably sitting in the Q and they didn't know it. What a waste of their time!!
Here's a suggestion--but don't shoot me for it smile. Suppose we go ahead and validate as we're doing, and we post here so we know what's going on, but we keep the finished products until Gustsavo has emptied the Q. Then we can upload the work we've done. Those of you who need the credits for your next membership can go ahead and upload--(but in the meantime others whose books are stuck in the Q aren't receiving the credits for membership) Those who can afford to wait a while for their credits can.
Just a suggestion. I seem to remember that after last Christmas Gustavo jokingly said he needed books to approve. Maybe we can make him beg again. grin
