Hi Mary, 

I keep a folder of these sorts of things by my desk called "long term
site improvements." When we have our next "where are we going and what
are our priorities in terms of serving our users" discussion (which is
more frequent than one might think), I'll be sure to bring it up. I
think it's an excellent idea.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] possible improvement to website

I guess this is for Marissa or whomever else from staff might monitor
here. I think this has been raised before, but I thought I would raise
it again, as I don't remember if it had been commented upon one way or
the 
other. Do you think it would be possible for people who release a book
back into the fvalidation pool to be able to include a comment as to why
they were doing so, which comment would appear in the list of 
comments related to the book when somebody goes to upload it? If you get
something that you don't feel like dealing with or can't deal with, but
don't think is bad enough to warrant nuking, it would be nice to be able

to let the next person who comes along see a comment as to why you
released the book. It would help them know if its something they can
deal with: e.g. there's a really garbled page and you can't find a copy
in your 
local library, or maybe don't own a scanner so can't fix it. If you
could put that comment, another validator who also didn't have a scanner
would know not to take that book and leave it for somebody who could fix
the 
problem.
