I'd like a little more information about a forum Molly.
I'm not glitching the idea, I'm just dumb.

With the high traffic the list gets, has anyone ever considered going to a
forum format? I'm an admin on a vbulletin board, and really like it as a
way to access and share information. Just a thought I'm throwing out there!

I like that. However, every group I've volunteered for has had both a
training period and a probation period. Nobody likes the flood of e-mail we
get.
I n the best of all possible worlds, with the proper training, we
wouldn'thave to request specific proofreaders, or try for the submissions of
the people we know are good scanners. But that's a dream.

Hi Mickey,
It's not a totally bad idea, but we would lose alot of good volunteers.
This list gets a bit long and repetitious at times and some people don't
like to wade through that. I think there should a newsletter that goes out
periodically to all volunteers. It could contain gleanings from this list
plus anything bookshare staff wants us to know.

I've been giving this proofreading issue a lot of thought. I would think
most of the people on this list are dedicated, caring and loyal volunteers
of Bookshare. Why else would we be on the list? To learn, to make our
submissions, whether they are scanning or proofreading, the best they can
be.
My suggestion is that membership to the list be a prerequisite for
volunteering. That way, maybe the people who aren't reading would read these
messages. I understand there are no guarantees, but at least there's the
possibility.
I've learned a lot from the list, gotten some good ideas, skipped some that
didn't apply, saved many. I class the reading of this list as part of my
volunteer time. If it were made mandatory for volunteers to be on the list,
they may not read it, but would at least have the material laid out for
them.
Ideas? Comments?
Mickey
