Hi Sandi,
Just a different perspective.
I have always thought that putting out requests for scanners or proofreaders
on this list is a wonderful way to reach lots of people at once, thus
bettering the chances of finding an interested party.
I really do value this list as a place to reach as many volunteers at a time
as possible.
Just my thoughts.
Mayrie

Hi Jackie,
Yes, that would be my idea. It sounds like it would be harder to manage
than I hoped, but perhaps if Madeleine puts the lists together, at least we
can contact Bookshare staff and ask who might be interested in partnering on
particular projects.
It doesn't sound as efficient that way. What I was hoping for was more
efficiency in the process so that someone with an idea could contact someone
who could partner. Perhaps it will grow over time.
