I am surprised it is only 260 users downloading the latest Harry Potter
book. I am one of them. Taking a break in validating to read it.
As to the question of turn around times, could we each speak about books we
have kept out for longish periods. I for example have done this when a
book needed a lot of meticulous correcting such as dates. I used to take
longer doing that than I do now. Have gotten much better at using rank
spelling and that has made date correction go faster. However, some
reading is still necessary in these cases. I have also taken longer to
validate when I find missing pages and renew the book until someone (read
Cindy?) gets the books and supplies the missing fragments to complete the
book. I do also think that people could be asked to renew for no longer
than a month. Seems a reasonable amount of time to allot except in some
unusual circumstances. Such circumstances might include a very long book,
a extremely complicated or technical one or one with many errors. I just
think that if we get better scans we will by definition tend to get faster
validation turn arounds in books.
