Yes, but my point was that there are so many combinations of software access and software knowledge, among beginning proofers and experienced proofers alike, that it's highly unlikely that a perfect match could be made. Maybe Bookshare could just encourage new solo proofers to post to this list and request the aid of a mentor or proofing-buddy. That way, it's less work for Bookshare proper, and new volunteers who want help can get the guidance they need. To be honest, if I'd signed up as a solo volunteer, I probably would have been uncomfortable being arbitrarily assigned to someone as their proofing pupil. (But maybe that's just me!) Sorry, I'm not trying to be argumentative, just adding my thoughts!
