I have to concur with E. a bit here.  Not that any of us want to rant and
whine. But it is true that right near the first thing you see or hear for
most of us on the  Bookshare Volunteer page is this:

Volunteer Home

Select this link to go directly to 
the latest Wish List (Updated soon)

And having started the year with a venturing onto the Wish List and scanning
several books that eventually were discovered to have been already done, it
was a bit of a sad feeling of having done stuff that actually was no longer
actually "wished" for!  So yes, I think the list should be edited, and
edited as soon as possible to prevent more new engergetic volunteers from
having such an experience.  

Thanks.
Rik

What is it exactly that takes so much work to update a tiny tiny wish 
list?  I know it is a complex programming secret but just a hint will be 
appreciated.  All kinds of sites update all the time.  What is going on 
that bookshare has so much trouble implementing some of these changes?  Yes 
this is a real question and I want a real technically based or socially 
based or economically based (or all three) response from some type of 
authority who can actually do something about the lack of support for the 
volunteer community.
