Hi Cindy,
I think Sue's points are valid. Unfortunately, moving items around the
lists isn't very accurate, and is potentially more confusing to a new member
of the list. I would rather you focus your efforts more on validating than
attempting to keep track of books. I'd much rather people consult the
official list and the Step 1 page.
I will try and make sure we keep a good update schedule, but I can't
promise anything as it all has to come from Gustavo.
BTW Posting the new books list is accurate and just fine though. And,
the website you've listed for me as jabrownell.com isn't right *grin* it's
actually jbrownell.com

book added to Admin Queue
Well, when people post here I add and subtract and move between all three lists. I could post them daily along with the books added list, but I don't think it's really necessary, or is it? Maybe it would be a help, to avoid duplications, which is the main purpose. I know Gustavo has enough to do without updating it daily, though if it could be done and were in a place where it could be easily accessed it would be nice. There are other engineering problems that are more important, though--and having the list weekly or even bi-weekly is a big help.
What do you think? Should I post it at the end of the day whenver there are changes posted here on the list, even though it isn't complete because not everybody posts on the list? It's only a matter of seconds to do.

Hi Gerald, Ah, true true. And I posted the list within half an hour of receiving it in my mail. I was thinkiking more along the lines of being able to remove books from the admin list, not add to it.
