Hi David,
Welcome to the list! Right now I'm suspecting that there is still a
massive backlog, both from before the Christmas season and one that
accumulated over the period when the BookShare offices were closed. Add that
to the extra day or two work that had to be redone due to a database
corruption, and that's why books are taking a while to process.
I've got 19 titles on the latest list of books either awaiting the Admin
approval or are being validated and I know some are in the admin queue. So
you're definately not the only one. <grin>
Hopefully the admins can knuckle down on the log in the upcoming week or two
and we can get back to our regularly scheduled program. Of course now if we
could only find a good way to reduce the validation queue...
Again, welcome to the ever growing list of volunteers!
Jake
