Elizabeth,

I agree with you regarding more detailed information on the book.  The only
way to find out back comments and to figure out who the original submitter
(if she should choose to identify herself) is to release the book and
immediately go and pick it up.  Before you can download, there are the
comments and the info one  needs.  It is annoying, to say the least.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] teaching meditation to children 

My name is listed as part of the validating stream of Teaching Meditation 
to Children.  Something is going on and I am unable to understand the 
cryptic note.  Something about copyright.

By the way, on the subject of cryptic notes.  What gives?  Surely a bit 
more transparency in the character of the mysteriously cryptic notes is in 
order in general and particularly on the step 2 page.  For one thing, once 
a book is downloaded by a volunteer, would it be possible to transfer those 
beginning notes to thename of the book currently being worked on so I can 
still see the original submitter and book history?  And what about making 
those notes actually say things folks can understand and using long 
descriptive sentences.  That way, we volunteers can support each other in 
getting issues resolved and know who to speak to about resolving what.

An example is my validating of Teaching ...

Another example is my validating Folktales of the British Isles.

Fortunately, I remember that Kenneth Cross submitted it.  So I know who to 
write to.  I can tell him for example that the scan is beautiful on all 
counts except the dates.  i can pretty much figure those out by context and 
am doing so.  The errors seem to be i for 1 and o for 0 so far and 
sometimes 0 for 1 as in 0887 which by context is clearly meant to be 1887.

Forgive me for long ranting posts.  Longer notes would help.  Even short 
ones I can understand are welcome.

E.
