Hey Sue,
This is more directed at the group than you, but your msg brings up a
good point. I'm sure BookShare is somewhat less willing to update
information about upcoming changes because then there is an expectation. In
other words, people start complaining as to when its coming. It's not that
it isn't coming, it is, it just takes more time than some would like. Keep
in mind BookShare is working on getting the $$ for upgrades, and until that
money is in less happens.
Validation instructions will be much more comprehensive and putting them
together is being done by volunteers, so they're not at this for many hours
a day, hehe. The instructions of course will have to go through Janice and
Gustavo to make sure they are as correct as they possibly can be. There's no
use releasing new instructions if they're aren't precise, accurate and
clear.
BookShare has told us that engineering is working on producing page numbers
in the BRF format, attempting to modify the software and how it works does
take time. Other enhancements are definitely on the drawing board I'm sure.
Patience Patience *grin* Again, this msg is not directed at Sue, the group
as a whole. And Sue if you didn't mean your comment as angry, I didn't take
it as such just thought I should point some of this out.
Jake

atElizabeth, I've posted these suggestions before. Here's my procedure and it does seem to work, I just downloaded five or six recent submissions and lookedthem in Kurzweil. Page numbers were not present, but that's a Kurzweilissueanot a BookShare one.
A. If the book has running headers
Put a fake one above the chapter heading. When I say fake I don't mean putstartsbunch of stars, follow the pattern of the book. If the book has chapter titles on odd numbered pages, and the chaptertheon an odd page, put the chapter title above it.
B. If books have all page numbers next to the running headers, except onchapter page its at the bottom, you should reposition the page number tothejustproper place in the dummy header.
C. If the book has no headers and page numbers are at the bottom of the page, you should split the chapter onto two lines. For example
Chapter One
should be written
Chapter One
This presumably will not be counted as a header because it is more thanIa single line of text.
This last one has been the most difficult for me to verify. The first twoline.have seen work.
The new validation instructions will hopefully include more examples/explanation.
Best, Jake
