Hi team,
Rick and I have been trying to understand why there has been a sudden influx of
volunteers wanting to do scanning and proofreading for Bookshare. I can't
account for it due to any campaigns we have going from this end. Are any of you
aware of any possible contributing factors?
Here is some of the trend data:
Recent monthly totals of signups:
July 38
Aug 28
Sep 35
Oct 42
Signups for Nov, just thru Nov 15: 53!
It began around Tue Nov. 9th.
Features of the current campaign that are atypical of signups over recent
months:
1) over the past week we have averaged >5 signups per day (39 total):
This is 3-4x the usual rate.
2) almost all new signups are <not> members
