good news on the doorstep. there's now a new listserve for "civil" p.g. volunteers. that's right, no need to put up with the rudeness of this list.
here's the introduction, from founder joyce wilson:
Welcome to the Project Gutenberg volunteer lounge! This list is intended to provide a friendly, supportive, and civil forum for PG volunteers. I hope it will provide a sense of community connection for those of us whose PG volunteer jobs can seem kind of isolated. Problem-solve, discuss, ask questions, share good news, brag on yourself and others, liberally apply congratulations and back-pats, chit-chat about stuff. But don't be a jerk, or you'll be removed from the list.
so, now if you're feeling a need for some liberally-applied congratulations and back-pats, or some shared good news, without jerks pestering you, you'll know exactly where to go. thanks for provided this much-needed service, joyce! -bowerbird
