Hi, everyone. You all have been working on some great books this year. Way to
go! Would you please make sure to send me your Project Gemstone list of books
you've validated? My email address is rhyami@xxxxxxxxx . I need that list by
April 30 so we can start building the web page for everyone who participated
and get things ready for the drawing. For those who are new or who need a
refresher, here is a copy of the original email sent out about Project Gemstone.
Fellow Booksharians, it's time to honor and celebrate our validaters. By now,
I'm sure you've heard about Project Treasure Chest, a project to encourage
submitters to submit ten excellent scans. Now it's time to show some love and
respect for our unsung heroes, our validaters. Books can't get approved without
these hard-working men and women, so it is my honor and pleasure to announce...
Submitters have open their Treasure Chests, now it's time for Project Gemstone!
Here's how it works. Each person who validates 10 books that go into the
collection with an excellent rating between now and April 30, 2008, will be
recognized on a special Project Gemstone web page and will be entered into a
drawing for one of six 20-dollar Amazon gift certificates. On top of that,
you'll have earned $25 in credit from Bookshare toward your next year's
subscription. The drawing will occur on Monday, June 2, 2008. There are a
couple of guidelines put in place to make sure this is fair to everyone.
Everyone here is a person of integrity, and these are designed to give
everybody a fair shot. Please read on.
1. Validate any book you like from the step 1 page, making sure it is in
excellent condition when you upload it.
2. Please email me a list of the ten books you have validated at
rhyami@xxxxxxxxx by April 30, 2008.
3. Please include no more than 2 books of under 50 pages in your 10
qualifying validations. It's not fair for someone to validate ten
picture books while someone else is struggling through a monster of a book
like War And Peace.
4. Please validate books from several submitters with no
more than 3 "hold for" books in your list of ten validations.
I'm excited about seeing our validaters get the recognition they deserve.
You are all gems, shining your lights quietly as you volunteer. Now it's time
that the world sees your lights and knows who you are. The books you work on
now will be treasure for many people in the future. Like gemstones, their
value will live on through time, giving pleasure to each person who possesses
them.
