Hi, Cindy. You're right about the time thing. I forgot how nervous I felt at first because I wondered if I was too slow. You're also right about the mentorship committee. I think that's part of the function of this list, but nothing takes the place of one on one help. I had an excellent mentor, and it made a big difference. Maybe Pavi could put together a list of people who are both experienced and willing to help new volunteers. I do some of both roles here but primarily see myself as a submitter. I'd be willing to help new volunteers using speech. I wouldn't be of much help for those using a Braille device to validate though. Monica Willyard
