Complete [DUET] Lamp of Wisdom by William H. Councill-ag

[silverquill]

Lamp of Wisdom by William H. Councill (1848 - 1909).

William H. Councill, former slave and contemporary of Booker T. Washington was founder of Huntsville Normal School, now Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University in Normal, Alabama. This book written in a question and answer format is his view of the history or the “Negro Race” from Africa through slavery in the United States, and accomplishments after emancipation, and all fields of culture through near the end of the 19th Century.

  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!

This is a book written in the Q & A format and will be a DUET with silverquill and sonofcoltas We will PL parts, but will need a DPL for the completed sections.

Hi Larry,
I'll MC this for you. There was no number of sections needed in the template. I added 3 to start with.
Cheers,

Oh, thanks so much, Amy!

Well, after all the projects I've set up, and I forgot that! My goodness.
I've added the sections, we need a total of 49, but we need a zero section for the dedication and preface. Can you take care of that?

Another question.
Since there are two of us, we'll be uploading two parts per chapter, then a final edited one. Do we need separate sections in the MW for the parts, or can we just upload them, and post the links in the thread for the parts. So the parts would be something like lampofwisdom_question_01_councill_128kb and lampofwisdom_answer_01_councill_128kb and the completed sections lampofwisdom_01_councill_128kb
Any other suggestion would be happily entertained.
I think I’ll wait until tomorrow to populate

Hi Larry,
It has the Section 0 now for the preface. For the 2 files, you could put them in the notes part using html, and then put the finished files in the link part. I added an example in your MW as a test. That would be the best way to do it.

Aha! An excellent solution. Thanks so much for your expertise.

I've populated the MW, but need to review it.

I hope we won't have to bother you too much as we get this one going. I don't think we'll move too fast, but we'll see how it goes.

I'll be happy to serve as DPL for the completed sections.

Sounds good!

We just need to make some changes to the 00 file. Usually we don't say "Chapter Zero." Sounds a bit odd, so we say "preface" "introduction" or whatever. I want to include the Publisher's Announcement," so begin this section, "Dedication, Preface and Publisher's Announcement of "Lamp of Wisdom by William H. Council" After the disclaimer, just say, "Recording by Andrew Kennedy. Dedication" and end with just, "End of Dedication" (I'll add my voice credit with the Preface). Also, I'd like to have a voice credit at the beginning of Chapter One but you can just add it to the end of 00 and I'll edit it into the first chapter "Answers read by Andrew Kennedy" We could add the voice credits to the beginning of each chapter, but that is optional. What do you think?

I'll get something recorded tonight so we can get something over to Kevin for a final proof and get something completed on the board.

Sounds like a plan. Here is the sec 0 upload with the suggested corrections.
