Hi, Tiffany. I don't know if submitting two copies of a book would be a good idea. If someone were to validate one, and it was waiting for approval by the administration, someone else could get the other copy and validate it if that other copy hadn't been rejected. I think it would just be easier, and provide less of a chance of duplicates, if there was just one copy of each book on the Downloads page. Sure, the person validating one copy could just reject the other, but if they happened to forget...well, there you go. *smile* My own personal opinion, anyway. Take care.

I believe there are four or five books I've submitted almost a month ago in kes. They're already pretty well edited, but have not been validated yet. As that I still have the original kes file, I don't mind saving and resubmitting them in rtf so they can get through faster, but I thought having two copies on the validation page might create too much clutter. I am not a validater, so don't know how a lot of that background stuff works. Should I bother? or not? Sorry for so many dopy inquiries recently. And thanks.
