Good to know. I didn't realize that there was such a backlog. Good luck with that, especially with regards to automating the process. I would love to help, but I really have my hands full with the CD/DVD project. :) Sincerely Aaron Cannon At 01:40 PM 9/15/2004, you wrote:
DP produces about 200+ new books a month. Unfortunately, the proofers at DP, finish about 250 books a month. Which means we have an ungodly backlog of texts that need to be post-processed (over 450 books right now). Our proofing output has scaled up from last year, but our post-processing has not been able to keep up. There are plans for ways to improve the bottleneck. Unfortunately, developers to implement those ideas are another bottleneck.
As big_bill at DP always says, though ... Those books aren't going anywhere and we will get to them eventually. :)

I usually skim the news letter to see if there is anything new, and I noticed this little stat: 352 Average Per Month in 2004 355 Average Per Month in 2003.
Anyone have any theories as to why we are doing fewer books per month on average this year? Not complaining, just a little curious.
Sorry if this is old news.
Sincerely Aaron Cannon
