My questions are two:
1. What is the approximate success rate & timetable for getting missing pages for books in DP? (I.e., how many books are stalled for missing pages, and how many have had their pages found/restored, and how long after proofreading was complete did this happen?)
Nobody really keeps track. There is a hundred lines of changelog in the forums on the missing pages wiki that could probably provide some information, but not every book goes through there. The second post in that thread is a list of volunteers and the libraries that they have access to; you can PM those people directly, or request the book yourself through ILL, or find a copy on ebay, or.. Worldcat and the library list is a very effective combination.
2. I'm aware there are a sizeable number of books at DP that have completed proofreading, yet are not yet uploaded to the PG servers. What proportion is awaiting missing pages, versus other types of delays.
There are ~25 books listed on the missing pages wiki; several have been claimed by someone. There are 636 books waiting for a post processor to claim them, 1600 claimed for post processing, 126 waiting for verification, and 175 being verified. Note that current policy is that incomplete books should not be uploaded to DP. R C
