Stacey mentioned that the dates were missing, so I added them into the book at
the bottom of each page, uploaded the book, but the dates disappeared, thanks
to our stripper. I doubled each date line, uploaded it again, and BOTH date
lines disappeared. So at Gustavo's suggestion, I deleted the duplicate date
lines, added the same garbage ("xxx") in front of every page break in the book,
and uploaded it again. Gustavo said he would check to see that the dates were
in the book before approving it. We're going to trick that stripper yet!! :-)
I'll notify the list group when it's finally approved with all the dates in it.

Sue,
No problem.
BTW, I wrote Stacey and told her not to worry and to contact Carrie in a few
days if she doesn?t hear from her by then like she planned.

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
