HI Lissi,
I hope you are doing alright. Sometimes we just have to step back from these
kinds of bigger on going projects for a little. Right now I am still doing
some scanning of material that I have an interest in. I am taking my time
reading them making corrections as I go and then will get them up on the
site.
Keep smiling and when you have some more books you might want scanned I
would be happy to help:)

Dear Robin,
Robin and others,, Given that scanning, validating and having books approved
can be complicated and frustrating, I admire you for inserting your approach
to staying engaged ;with the system in a positive way.
After all there are over 26 thousand books in the collection. There is much
more about the system that works than doesn't work. I'm trying to claw
myself out of a slump, but I think of it as my slump, and not caused by
Bookshare. When I'm able to contribute again, I'm counting on Bookshare to
accept my work, and on this list for fine tuning my efforts when I'm off
track.
While I've been down and out, in a technical sense, the reports of the
wonderful work many of you are doing have come as a steady stream of good
news.
I hope to be adding my contributions again soon.
Always with love,
Lissi
