Hi, 

I copied and pasted these descriptions directly from the Freelists site:

Bksvols-discuss: Bookshare.org's volunteer community uses this mailing list to 
discuss their efforts to grow the collection of accessible books. Members may 
use this list to help one another with technical issues, to make scanning and 
submission suggestions, and to get to know one another better.

Bookshare-discuss: This is the place to discuss your use and questions 
concerning Bookshare.org, a project of the Benetech Initiative. Benetech builds 
Technology for Humanity. Bookshare.org enables those with print-related 
disabilities to legally share copyrighted text in alternative electronic 
formats as prescribed in the Chaffee Amendment to U.S. Copyright Law. The list 
is open to members, subscribers and others interested in learning about or 
sharing their experiences.

As you can see from these explanations, they don't suggest that either list is 
for "off-topic" chitchat. My apologies for not including the Bookshare-dicsuss 
explanation in the previous email! I can subscribe anyone interested, but I 
will mention that I'm subscribed to both and the bksvols-discuss list seems to 
be much more active for whatever reason.

Best, 

Madeleine Linares
