All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/opening-a-chestnut-burr-by-edward-p-roe/

Walter Gregory is a gentleman whose health is broken down by the stress of Wall Street and the consequences of his fast lifestyle. Disillusioned in love and betrayed in friendship, he returns to visit his childhood home in the country. Who is this young woman Annie Walton he finds there? Can she truly be as good as she seems? He determines to test her character to the utmost. Deceitful villains, fire, death, and nautical disasters all try our hero and heroine. She has shown him the saving faith that gives life. Can he rescue her from a false fiancé who would ruin hers? (LikeManyWaters)

  IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).
  Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

MW coming up.

Welcome first-time BC
This project is now set up in the database. Since this will be your first project as soloist/book coordinator (BC), you will need to set up a password for access to the workflow system so you can enter the information into the section compiler which then appears in the "Magic Window" in the top post. Here are some links to detailed instructions for logging into the system and setting a password the first time, as well as for entering and editing information in the section compiler.

First Time Logging in to the Workflow

Instructions for BCs and DPLs
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kVj409nG_E0XJ5UrrcL7EVx7Qyx-2UQ7dbw4mINi3XQ/edit

A version of the above is also in the LibriVox wiki in case you can't access Google Docs for some reason.

ID3 tags will be added during cataloging so you don't need to add them to your files.

If you have any questions, let me know. Sections can be added by you or deleted by me. I'll leave this thread here in the Launch Pad for a day or so longer before I move it to the Going Solo forum, to see if a DPL (Dedicated Proof Listener) volunteers. If you already have someone in mind as DPL just let me know. I've added some information to the MW merely as a suggestion. Feel free to make changes (e.g. leave out chapter titles, shorten longer ones, use Arabic numbers not Roman numerals, etc.). The contents of the MW will appear in the final project page that potential listeners will see and will be used to create the ID3 tags that appear on their mp3 player. Again, welcome to your first solo project.

Glad to see you had no difficulties adding information to the MW. Start recording whenever you wish.

Thanks! I will. And no I don’t have a DPL yet...

A few questions...

Do I still have to "post" to the thread the link for uploaded files and times, since I'm the BC putting them in the MW?
Also, in naming the preface file, is "00" for the section number correct?
And, I was not sure whether my description was too much of a spoiler, if so I can shorten it.
Could I add Romance as one of the Genres? I wasn't sure what to put for the keywords either.

Thanks a lot...

A few questions...

Also, in naming the preface file, is "00" for the section number correct? .....Yes, all numbers must be two digits.
And, I was not sure whether my description was too much of a spoiler, if so I can shorten it. .....Your decision, but if you change the summary let me know because I will need to change the one on the project screen. The version above is not the one used in cataloging.
Could I add Romance as one of the Genres? I wasn't sure what to put for the keywords either. .....I will add romance as a genre. I can add keywords as they occur to you.

Thanks a lot...
