Hi, E, and thanks for the update on that. I'm glad you were able to speak to
him and voice those concerns. It definitely seemed fishy to me, so I hope it
all works out and something can be done to keep something like that from
happening again. Take care.

I just spoke to Gustavo about Abagail. I spoke to him about Jill's copy,
about how somebody downloaded it to validate only a short time (less than a
day) after Jill uploaded it to step one with"hold for E." as its note. I
spoke about how the validator did finish work very quickly which is of
concern to Jill and me. Both of know this book has a log of dialect and
that careful checking is necessary. We were both surprised to notice the
validation done so soon.
I also mentioned that, one day after the copy from Jill made it into the
collection, somebody else sent in a bso copy. He and I agreed I will
download that bso copy from step 1. I also have the copy Jill submitted
that the person validated quickly and which is now part of the collection.
Unless there is something seriously at fault with Jill's copy (and she does
lovely scans) I have Gustavo's permission to reject the bso copy. He is
aware that a peculiar situation of some sort may exist.
I have also suggested that each anonymous "bookshare volunteer" be given
some kind of username so he or she can be identified. They are not one
being with many arms. Gustavo knows my concern is that hiding behind the
"bookshare volunteer" screen messiness of some sort can occur more often
than it can if each person has a username.
Specifically, I am concerned about people who download books from step 1,
read them and then send them back to step 1 without validating. Lots of
the books which meet this fate seem to have "a bookshare volunteer"
repeated throughout their languishing history. tacky!!
