I *try* to take ownership of these books at DP but am prevented in doing so by the system and the management -- god knows if I were allowed to do so I would personally have finished them off a half a year ago! A fundamental part of the DP problem is that the "design" (if you want to call it that) of the queuing system doesn't work.
I also consider this a serious defect. IMO, it must be possible, if someone want to work on a book, to "activate" it (= unlock it from a waiting state).
Another part of the problem, frankly, is the disproportionate amount of time spent on books that are very complicated, poorly scanned, and not very good choices to begin with -- meaning simply that they are books when all is said and done that not that many people are going to want to read. Under the current system bad ideas are allowed to consume a disproportionate amount of everyone's time and effort --
I'm always wondering why people work on books they are not interested in...
but isn't that true of life in general!
