The queues also seem to have the effect of promoting the release of short, easier projects at the expense of longer, more challenging ones. Consequently some of the more significant works are delayed. In June of 2005, the nine volumes of The Works of William Shakespeare - Cambridge Editionwere submitted. This was before the queues era, and the records aren't clear, but the first volume (processed as 6 separate projects, 1 play per project) were completed and became available by the end of 2006. Volumes 2 to 8 are sitting in the F2 queue, waiting to be released so they can be formatted as the last step before post-processing and eventual submission to PG. The first of them has yet to make its way completely through since the introduction of queueing. (I can't tell where Volume 9 is - it may not have been submitted yet.)
