Hi Lisa,

The announcement said "effective today", which would have been yesterday. 
So it appears that whatever validation credits we had before that date, 
Sept. 20, remain the same.  I am sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi, Lisa and all.

First, let me add to what others have said regarding this new credit policy
for validators.  This change is so welcome, especially for those of us who
have been validating since the early days when we did way more than fifty
cents worth of work.  So Thank you, Bookshare staff.  I'm so encouraged to
see that communication is improving and that some of our ideas are being
implemented at last.

Now on to my question:

I just checked my credits and I had a whopping $350.  Now this is wonderful,
but I doubt it's correct just yet.  Is the $2.50 a retroactive change?  By
this I mean, will the amount of credits we've earned via the old system be
converted to an amount under the new credit system?  I had $35.00 credits
under the 0.50 cent system, so how does this work?  I guess I assumed the
change would affect all books we validate after this date rather than being
retroactive.  Not that I'm arguing.  <smiles>  I've been slowly working my
way to a subscription renewal since May, 2006, so suddenly having my
subscription be magically earned is a great thing.  But I don't want that
subscription earned at the expense of Bookshare.

Lisa
