Sue,
Carrie said she already checked it and it still has the problem. Gustavo
probably pulled it until Carrie can get it fixed.

Hi Sue,
It's not listed on the website, so Gustavo must have pulled it. It is id
33098, so it's URL will be:
http://www.bookshare.org/web/SingleTitle.html?submittitleid=33098
HTH,
Jake

Hi Jake,
I ave ben thinking of this post throughout the day. It is good to remember
what fun we had.
I am wondering if you could find this book. It is supposed to be in the
collection. Carrie said she even got the BSO approval. The title of the
book is "My Utmost for His Highest". I have been trying to download it to
check if the dates of the devotions are still missing, but no matter what I
do I always get that message about no matches found. I am beginning to
wonder if someone is playing an April Fool joke on me. I know that sounds
paranoid, but considering today's date, would you give it a try and see if
you can download it onto your computer?
Thanks. I was not trying to replace it, just to check for Stacey Robinson
to see if the dates are missing in this replacement copy Carrie told us
about.
TIA,
Sue S.

Hi all,
Today's April Fools Day and remembering last year, I couldn't resist
digging this out of the archives and posting it. Obviously, this message is
one year old and an April fool!
Happy Spring!

Hi Guys,
So operations has decided that the download list is just much too long.
Beginning on Monday, April 4th, book submissions waiting to be validated for
more than two weeks will be automatically processed by a validating tool and
either accepted or rejected for the collection. Because of our successes
with
the stripper and other automating processes, we're pretty much convinced
that
computer judgement is just as good as human judgement.
Obviously you might ask, where does this put the volunteers? Well, not too
much
will change, other than the fact that if you see a title on the download
page
that you like, you should snatch it up immediately. Who knows? The
validation
tool, whom we've named "Thor," might zap it up the next day.
Anyway, we figured that this would be much more convenient for everyone
involved, especially me, so I don't have to listen to complaints as to how
long
the download list is from day to day.
And on that note, we've also decided to terminate the volunteer list,
starting
Monday, April 4th. The idea behind this is that the Bookshare.org Ops team
needs to rule with an iron fist, and voices of dissent and critique don't
have
a place in this fuzzy nonprofit.
Oh, and I'll be out of the office for most of the day, getting more books to
flood the step one page. So I'll get back to you by Monday.
I realize all of this is a lot to process. Happy April First. I can't
believe
another month has passed.
Best,
Marissa
