Hi Gary and all,

I predict there will never be a day when all books are publisher quality.  Our 
volunteer efforts will always represent a critical part of the Bookshare 
project.

  I would find that just wonderful.  We're hoping we will be obsoleted, because 
without that, we will never be able to scan much of what's already out there.

    These publisher quality books concern me.  John Glass said something to the 
    effect that someday they hope to have all publisher quality in the 
    collection.  We have some topnotch submitters and validators, and a lot of 
    the books in the collection reflect this.  I would hate to see books that 
    deserve their excellent rating replaced.

    Allison H was kind enough to send me the list of books
    that HarperCollins has donated to bookshare. I gather
    that bookshare is working on making them available for
    download in BRF,  and Allison and some of you kind
    people are working to affix short synopses. Then
    they'll be added to the collection.

    Some already have been added, replacing one book that
    I spent time validating, though my synopsis was left
    intact. Whether others will replace books already in
    the collection, even if they're Excellent, or will be
    added along with them so members have a choice as to
    what to download, I don't know. I certainly hope not
    the former.

    Anyway, I plan not to validate any books on the list.
    If any of you are thinking of scanning or validating
    books published by HarperCollins, you're welcome to
    check with me if you don't want to do one of the books
    that will be added by the publisher.

    Unfortunately, we couldn't wait for the Princess Diary
    books to get into the collection from the publisher.
    Only Princess in Training remains, and Judy is
    validating that. Yay!!
