You, me, and all the rest of us, Darrell. I think we should all flood them with emails until they answer us, you know the old trick if "if I shout loud enough they'll pay attention." Only half joking here. ----- Original Message ----- From: Darrell Shandrow To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, May 22, 2008 12:47 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Solution to the Stripper issues seems rather simple to me... Hello Robert and all, Many of us volunteers spend many hours of our time scanning and validating books. I think we should be able to know, with as much detail as possible, what exactly happens to the materials we upload and the procedures we can follow to make sure we are delivering the best possible results for the collection. I guess I just can't understand how or why it is that we haven't been given this important information a long time ago, and am hoping that the issues will be prioritized and resolved soon. ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert Riddle To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, May 22, 2008 12:39 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Solution to the Stripper issues seems rather simple to me... Good luck with that. It's been asked before. ----- Original Message ----- From: Darrell Shandrow To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, May 22, 2008 12:12 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Solution to the Stripper issues seems rather simple to me... Hello Everyone, We have all been going around and around about this converter / stripper tool and its behaviors for a very long time now. I feel the ultimate solution to our concerns is actually quite simple and does not have to involve making any changes in any code at this time. All that is needed is a detailed description from the engineer(s) who created and maintain this tool as to exactly what steps it takes while processing a book. Such an understanding could then be codified into a set of instructions that would serve to enhance the existing and updated Volunteer Manual so that we know exactly what we can and cannot do when validating books.
