I would like to put a big amen on this message.
I would also like to add one more tool to Elizabeth's list of possible
tools. That is a workable method for scanner and validator to share a book.
I'll not say more on the matter, because I think my views are well known.
But I was discomforted by the fact that it seems that bookshare engineers
are going into jee-wiz mode rather than giving us workable tools to do our
job, and that's a shame.

Of equal importance are tools which validators and submitters can use and
a structure which fosters good validator and submitter co-operation.
I know the other evening was dedicated to exploring more blue sky
priorities. These include linking to social networks. I do not belong to
social networks and do not list lots of info about myself on the net. As a
female and one who has lived a number of years I consider such activity
risky.
If bookshare wants to get involved in interesting search tools, toolbars
and links to social sites I hope they put such work in priority below the
work necessary to produce good tools for submitters and validators.
Such tools might include
1. a tool to give a actual numeric rank to a book at time of upload by
submitter instead of relying on the submitter's choice of "excellent" or
"good"
2. giving everybody a designation so that bookshare volunteer becomes bsv1
through bsv9 and so on
3. requiring a contact when somebody submits so I can get in touch somehow
as a validator
4. If the submitter does not want to use his or her regular email perhaps
he or she can have a web account like people do for dating sites. A google
mail or hotmail or something might work. That way their privacy will be
protected and I can validate their submits better.
After we have good tools to improve the quality of books in the general
collection we can go on to fancy searches and toolbars.
