Well, if you think the law of Draco is excessive, at least I would like
to see the application of the Hamurabean Codex to the solution of the
quality problem.

standards will be fair, consistent, and self-explanatory (but there may be
a few weeks of transition, but we?re committed to working with you on
those).
Guido, i don?t think draconian measures are necessary, and your
implication of such is unjustified. this is just a necessary step that
Bookshare.org needs to take in order to meet our goals for the rest of the
year.

I hope the automated tool will apply rather draconian measures to wead
out poor quality books.

No joke. Given that we have to add 300,000 titles to our collection within
a year, we need to simplify the processes as much as possible. While we
will still be trusting the remote volunteer community to help with the US
English and Spanish book collection, in-house resources will be very busy
elsewhere.
Thanks,

I can appreciate Bookshare's problems but when your computers make the
decisions instead of validators, that's when we get books with lots of
words missing as well as words broken up that shouldn't be. I would like
to think your announcement was an April Fool joke.
