I didn't say it was unimportant to me.
Volunteer produced books may be a very tiny proportion of additions to
the collection these days, but I still get to add books that wouldn't
otherwise get in there. That is meaningful to me and it benefits members
also.

If Bookshare still values its volunteers, then they should make this a higher
priority.

Well, it can take so long if it is a low priority, or no priority item.
Books contributed by volunteers are a very tiny proportion of books
being added to the collection these days. Resources are limited. It may
have been decided that devoting any of those limited resources to fixing
whatever is wrong is just not worth the relatively tiny benefit to
Bookshare's collection.
I have no idea of course. I'm just speculating. But you know the old
saying, action, (or in this case, inaction), speaks louder than words.

I'm getting extremely frustrated with this problem. It has been months now
since we've been able to get books approved. I was a programmer for 16
years. If I'd been assigned to a project to fix a problem like this and it
had taken this long, I'd have been fired.
