I'm not aware of any general PG practice to send newcomers to DP. Your motivation? What do I care? Be altruistic, and do a book. If you want something challenging, PG's Preprints page (http://preprints.readingroo.ms/) has lots of candidates. ----- Original Message ----- From: Bowerbird@aol.com To: gutvol-d@lists.pglaf.org ; bowerbird@aol.com Sent: Wednesday, February 17, 2010 12:41 PM Subject: [gutvol-d] Re: "The Inheritance" by Susan Edmondstone Ferrier al said:
Hmmm... maybe bowerbird is up for them?
what's my motivation, al? the one edition i looked at -- in english, i speak no german -- is a simple book, quite straightforward, so wouldn't prove anything. i mean, i'm totally willing to run through the exercise-wheel, but what do i get when i come out the other side? how about this, a win-win-win-win situation for everyone... for a while, the p.g. website has been directing newbies over to distributed proofreaders if they want to help out with the cause. and sure enough, d.p. gets a ton of volunteers as a result of that. unfortunately, d.p. doesn't appreciate the newbies, because they just contribute more stuff to the plethora of p1-proofed backlog. so how about, if i were to do this book for you, p.g. would start sending all the new volunteers to rfrank's roundless site instead? d.p. happy, rfrank happy, the bird happy, al happy, and p.g. happy. so, do we have a deal? -bowerbird ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ gutvol-d mailing list gutvol-d@lists.pglaf.org http://lists.pglaf.org/mailman/listinfo/gutvol-d
