Hi Everyone,
I'm going to paste here a section from the latest volunteer
newsletter with wich I am not very happy.
from now on books will be returned to the download list with a "Hold for
Validator or Submitter". Depending on the nature of the correction, and/or
who is best able to make the correction, either the submitter or the
validator will re-upload the book. If re-edits are uploaded by the
submitter, either the submitter or the validator should write to us
requesting that validation credits be transferred from the submitter to the
appropriate validator. We will make the transfer accordingly.
Uh, if a validator hasn't done a job complete enough for a book to
be included in the bookshare collection, and the submitter makes corrections
that a validator should have made, that validator should not get credit.
The validator should have contacted the submitter either directly or via
bookshare staff before uploading to fix things that need fixing. What's the
deal with giving people credit for work not done?
These are just my opinions, but as a submitter, I don't have any
intention of fixing errors in a book that I submit if the validator is going
to get credit for not having done the work.
Mayrie
