Scott, whenyou say portions thereof, does that include individual pages? If
pages are missing from a scan, or messed up, what's to be done? We've always
been able to scan pages and send them to the proofer, or to have the proofer
send a page or two so we can correct the page directly and return them, or
add a sentence or two that didn't scan if necessary.

Chela and Bookshare Volunteers,
It absolutely *never* permitted for volunteers to exchange digital copies, or
portions thereof, of the books they are processing between each other.
All exchanges of the book material we work with must be done through the
mediation of Bookshare. That is, in order for one volunteer to receive the work
of another it must first be sent to Bookshare where it will be forwarded to the
second volunteer.
We work with material under the conditions of the Chafee Ammendment to US
copyright law. Any violation places the existence of Benetech at risk.
As this apparent confusion in policy has now come to my attention I will follow
up with clarifactory documentation for the entire list on this topic. There
will be a slight delay as this is prepared in consultation with those who can
craft explanations of the law unambiguously and authoritatively.
However, it is to be immediately understood that *no direct exchange* of the
books processed through Bookshare is authorized between Bookshare volunteers.
Scott Rains
Bookshare Volunteer Coordinator, Interim

"To me, music that breaks your heart is the music that stays with you forever.
It's one thing to be melancholy and one thing to be sophisticated, but when you
get the two of them together in a way people can relate to, then I think you're
on to something. You want the sophistication to lie in the purity of the sound,
the beauty of the arrangements, and the quality of the performances."-Trumpeter

Right, you can translate the picture descriptions, but I think you should leave
the English descriptions too, since the book is both English and Spanish.
