As far as "sage advice" goes, after hearing John in the discussion last
week, I think he may have the right voice for a sage. <smile>

Keep in mind that not all volunteers subscribe to the lists. So you may be
preaching to the choir. John Glass is working on setting up a distribution
that can go to all volunteers in which he will offer sage advice and
guidance, along with the information that all volunteers must read the
volunteer manual.

Hi listers,
Since bookshare has seen fit to raise credit for validators, we should get
tough.
I was just up on the step one page, and the first two books I looked at,
were shown to be fair with many errors. 
My suggestion is this. If you know a book is fair with many errors, why are
you submitting it at all? If I get a book like that, chances are, I'm likely
to reject it. If you can't check your scans, clean them up and make them
good, then don't do it. Sure, I have submitted books that weren't good, and
I had to learn a lot of things, and I understand that. When you first start
out you mess up. I understand that, but come on, some of these books weren't
submitted by new folks just learning. We all have to do the best scans we
can, it is up to us, and no one else.
