I am a little confused about those rules also.. It would make more sense to ask Gustavo to put a book that is being clean up on the download page so that it can be corrected and uploaded. If a person is rescanning they should get the credit for rescanning. Hopefully this can be clarified.

Good morning everyone: A new copy of the Fair book list has been generated. It can be found on BookshareScans. Now, in order to keep things sane for Mr. Galindo, we need to follow a couple of rules. Otherwise he'll go crazy, resign from Bookshare and take a 7 dollar an hour job guiding drunk tourists to the nearest legal brothel near Los Vegas. Rule #1, If you are going to do some editing of the original scan, when you upload the book, please change the title to BSO <title> e.g BSO The Catcher in the Rye This will be a flag to Mr. Galindo that this is an intensional resubmit of a book already on bookshare. It will be up to Mr. Galindo to remove the BSO before he approves the title, otherwise he shall receive a flogging and be read the complete and unabridged works of Aloysius Q. Schmaltzenstein Gavronsky Rule #2, If you download a fair book and realize that a complete rescan would serve the Bookshare community better then an attempted edit of the original, you are to request Mr. Galindo to place that book on the step 1 page in order for you to download the title and have it to your credit. By following these rules you will make me and Mr. Gallindo much happier and truly be worthy of the title "gentle people." If you have questions, please e-mail me "off-list." goldWave@xxxxxxx -- Rui BookshareScans http://members.cox.net/booksharescans ----- Original Message ----- From: Gerald Hovas To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Gustavo.G@xxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2005 5:00 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: plan to scan Jill, BSO stands for Book Share Org or Bookshare.Org. Some people have said that you should put BSO in front of books which need special attention, like replacements for books which are not rated Excellent. Since I Haven't heard any of the staff say to do that, I asked Gustavo if that is the way he likes to handle those types of books back in July, but he never answered my message.
