Jill,
You wrote a very nice letter, and I agree with the
sentence below. (I have no right to express opinion on
other parts of the letter--smile). I recently
forwarded to the list a post from a validator who
isn't on the list, and the person who scanned the book
that was missing some pages fortunately is on the list
and quickly got back to her with the missing pages. If
the submitter's name and e-mail address had been on
the submission she could, *perhaps* have contacted him
directly.
BUT--I say perhaps, because when we download the file
the name and address don't stay with the file. We
validators have to remember to copy it somewhere so we
have the info if we need it. Maybe that scanner did
have his name and e-mail address and the validator
hadn't saved it--which I keep forgetting to do. I know
we can release, look at the info and then redownload,
but that's an extra step.
Gustavo and Jake--can that be suggested to the
engineers? Can the name of the submitter and comments
be attached somehow to the file to be downloaded and
valdiated?
Cindy
Bookshare does invite new
volunteers to join this list but I think they should
take this a step further and let new volunteers know
how important it is for them to provide contact
information for the validator.
