I believe we can. I could probably BC if needed... but unless someone else want's to, they can go aheadDKimbrell wrote: ↑August 4th, 2019, 5:23 am Can we revive this post?
I am very interested in having CMs volumes put on Librivox, and would be very willing to help record several chapters.
There is a much more recent thread with links to verification of publication of original texts so the copyrights should be in the clear for us to proceed.
I think it was your thread that was referring to. I know nothing of coordinating, but am ready to read.AbbyJay wrote: ↑August 4th, 2019, 2:56 pm I’m also interested in helping with the next volume. I can’t coordinate but I would record several chapters.

The BC is the book coordinator. They are the ones who put in claims and set the project up. To start a project, you'd go to the project template generator, https://librivox.org/add_project where you would fill out the details, and then copy and paste the results as a new post in the new projects launch pad. Here's a guide to BCing: https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/How_To_Become_A_Book_Coordinator
<smile>We like to see some familiarity with LibriVox systems before becoming a book coordinator. This way you'll have a better idea about the process, what the volunteers need to know, and what needs to be done. Most people gain this familiarity by recording some chapters, or a solo project, some do a lot of proof-listening or help out in other ways. - If you post a new collaborative project and we see that you only have a couple of forum posts 'under your belt' we are likely going to suggest to hold your project until you know more about LibriVox.
Please remember, though, that coordinating a project is in most cases quite a time commitment. A medium-sized novel takes 6-12 months for a group to complete, and the BC is expected to stick with the project day by day. If you are doubtful that you can make this kind of commitment, we'd prefer that you help out in other ways on LibriVox.
Oh yes, sorry. I guess I could start the project then, and they could read a little bit first to get familiar with recording and uploading etc.TriciaG wrote: ↑August 5th, 2019, 3:48 pm Better not to have a brand new LibriVoxer become a BC right away, especially of a large project like this one.We like to see some familiarity with LibriVox systems before becoming a book coordinator.

OK, I'll set it up sometime within the next three or four days and I'll send a link here when it is. Thank you!
