[dvdvol] Re: dvdvol Digest, Vol 22, Issue 3

Re the ones I have been give to the library it just started When I gave them a couple of sets. After they looked at them they just started asking for more. I know them well as I was teaching a free computer course there for a few years and know the staff well. I am thinking it may get out of hand if I keep supplying them.but they do not have any burning equipment. What do you think? It is mainly my time and cost of Cd's Regards Ray On 7/6/06, dvdvol-request@lists.pglaf.org wrote:

We also need to consider what to do with the copies of the current DVD

have already been burned. There probably aren't that many, but it's something worth thinking about. I know I've got a few hundred here.

As for the request system, it can be adapted to handle duplicate requests, although I don't think that there will be a huge flood of requests from previous requesters once the new image is announced. Rather I expect them to trickle in as they find out, and even then it will probably only be a small fraction. Nevertheless, it's something which definitely needs considering.

We have a policy of providing only one DVD per person. However, once the new image is available, it is highly likely that many of those who received the first DVD will want to request a copy of the second DVD. How would you like us to deal with this situation?

One issue relates to the request tracking database. It automatically rejects a second request from the same e-mail address. If we allow someone who received the first DVD to request the second DVD, we will need to allow an additional request record that is submitted on or after the announcement date.

Will the new DVD replace the the present DVD & CD. Will we still send out the old Discus. I have a less 80 of each still in stock and getting requests from our local library here for at less 10 per week. These will not show up on the main list. Is this OK to provide them with these discus direct from me . here in Australia. Could we give the new DVD a special identification or just use the date the DVD was made Regards Ray Rivett Australia.
