I have been out of the loop lately. What are the books that need proofreading?

Hi, Grace.
I'd be willing to scan one of the paperbacks from the adult list.
I may be able to do more but I'll take one for now.

Scott, Thank you for the lovely announcement.
In order for me to successfully lead this campaign, I need a strong army of
scanners and proofers to help me to carry the load.
We have over 100 books to add to the collection so I need troops.
Once we are done, bookshare will have the only accessible DragonLance
collection! I think that's awesome!
I already have a couple of volunteers to proof some books.
The adult list is ready. So let me know how best to post. I can post in a
message on the list or as an excel attachment. Or I can email only those
interested.
Thanks.
Grace otherwise known as Silvara the general. *smile*

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Announcing The Dragonlance Campaign Among
Bookshare Volunteers
Once upon a time the world of Krynn passed through The Age of Despair and
into The Age of Mortals. Transporting the inhabitants of the Dragonlance
into The Age of Bookshare would require a hero with powers of perseverance
and leadership beyond that of a mere mortal. With over 190 books in the
Dragonlance series and less than 70 in the Bookshare collection that hero
was long awaited.
Such a hero has arisen.
And she is calling forth a mighty army of scanners and proofers.
It is with great satisfaction, and over-the-top florid language, that I
annnounce that Grace Pires has organized a project to bring the entire
Dragonlance series into Bookshare with the help of her fellow volunteers.
All who work on this project should understand that the publisher, Wizards
of the Coast, is likely to eventually sign as a partner and provide at least
some of their Dragonlance books as PQ. This will displace volunteer-scanned
copies. But what intrepid band of heroes ever set out on an adventure
without expecting plenty of risk?
Shortly Grace will post two lists to be worked on - one for adult readers
and one for younger readers. Consider teaming up with other volunteers or
recruiting and mentoring Drgonlnce-lovers who you know as new volunteers and
send them here:
http://www.bookshare.org/volunteerSignup
True to the trend for 2011 Grace will lead this series completion project on
her own with minimal input from myself or other Bookshare staff. Contact
Grace directly to tell her which books you will work on. Email for Grace
