Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Step 1 Languishers
Hi all,
Firstly, I'd like to applaud the work the BookShare Team and Volunteers
have done in the first quarter of 2006! This year is definitely shaping up
to be a good one from all the signs we've seen so far, ie. increased funding
that will allow BookShare to begin work on meeting some long term goals.
That said, I'm happy to report that the Step 1 page has been less than
400 books for a few days now. I'm hoping this is because books aren't
sitting around on it forever, and not that people are working on 15 books at
a time.
And, that said, I know some of you have been wanting to root out the
titles that have been on the page for a long time. I've compiled a list of
the tob 27 books that have been there since before February 2005. And
actually a couple of the books were submitted as early as January 2004!

Yeah, I know a lot of these titles look boring and generally unappealing.
The only one I have personal experience with is the Mystery of Capital. The
book has lots of split words and little things that need correcting. If
someone were interested in cleaning up the book it would be doable, and
that's the only reason I didn't reject it.
BTW this list was ordered with the oldest books at the top.
Happy Volunteering!
Jake
