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
