IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded 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!

OK, your MW is ready, and April is in as DPL (thank you, April!). I have shortened your file name, just to make your life easier. If you want it shorter, feel free to do so.

I will move us as soon as I know that everyone is on board!

The chapters are very long (over an hour each) and need to be divided into sections.
How are the sections noted in the file name?

Use the number of the section. If you have 2 parts for chapter 1, for example, section 1 will have part 1, section 2 will have part 2. Then, if chapter 2 has 2 parts, part 1 of chapter 2 will be section 3, and so forth. Let me know if that doesn't make sense.

OK, I think I understand.
So the filename really has not much to do with the actual chapter number as listed in the text.
I'll give it a go.
What is the longest acceptable section? 30 minutes?

Yes, that is correct, the section number is there to make sure that the sections are in the correct order.

The longest a section can be is about 70 minutes. That is so that if someone wants to burn the project to CDs, a long section will fit on one CD, which can take about 75 minutes.

Moving on to Going Solo!

Hi April: Just uploaded Part 1 of Chapt 1.
I hope I uploaded the correct (edited) version.
I am disappointed in the writing. Please let me know if you think it is tedious.
