Rui,
Thanks for re-posting this. I shall save it.
I'm a bit confused about rule #2, though. Is it
incomplete? I thought Page 1 download list thebooks we
download to validate. Did you mean that if a person
downloads from the collecition book that should be
rescanned he/she should, after Gustavo puts the book
on the page 1 list, download and reject it so that if
that person re-scans and then submits that person will
get the credit for the submission?
