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.

>   http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PG_vol_lounge/message/1

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!
