Excellent point Mary, this and many more requirements were voiced and
recorded during the Bookshare User's meeting held in L.A. at CSUN 2004.
Unfortunately I have not seen any of them implemented yet. On the other
hand, we are entering a new year, and Benetech has an even better team
on board. There may be hope that some site enhancements may see
eventually the light of day.
Without cracking a smile, of course! <chuckle!>

[bksvol-discuss] possible improvement to website
I guess this is for Marissa or whomever else from staff might monitor
here. I think this has been raised before, but I thought I would raise it
again, as I don't remember if it had been commented upon one way or the
other. Do you think it would be possible for people who release a book
back into the fvalidation pool to be able to include a comment as to why
they were doing so, which comment would appear in the list of
comments related to the book when somebody goes to upload it? If you get
something that you don't feel like dealing with or can't deal with, but
don't think is bad enough to warrant nuking, it would be nice to be able
to let the next person who comes along see a comment as to why you
released the book. It would help them know if its something they can deal
with: e.g. there's a really garbled page and you can't find a copy in your
local library, or maybe don't own a scanner so can't fix it. If you could
put that comment, another validator who also didn't have a scanner would
know not to take that book and leave it for somebody who could fix the
problem.
