Hi Rainer,
Can I please read 50 & 54? I presume you would like to see this finished in this November, now? We're getting very close!

Or are you planning to restrict claims to 1 per reader, to prevent more orphaning? If so, I'd like to do 50 please.

Thanks,
Anna

Bah! I missed this in my clean-up list, because it is in Readers Found.

I will add it now.

The sections were only orphaned in the past few hours, Ruth

You didn't miss anything!

Hehe... constant vigilance is my watchword!

I have put 2 sections (45 & 61) down as available.

@FrZeile
I already wrote you a PM. Sections 20, 26 and 28 are yours!

@Anna
I get the feeling that you always help me out. Thank you!

There no problem in claiming more than one chapter (especially if you are the one volunteering). I even wanted to write something like "You can claim as many sections as you want, but please record them". I think I could have finished the complete works of Dostoevsky and Tolstoy together with all the orphans I had to deal with in this book (sigh!).
I hope I'm able to finish this book in November. However, there are some issued in already recorded files, therefore I'm not sure about it.

@RuthieG
It's really not your fault. I did the cleaning in this project only yesterday. But - if I think about it - perhaps it is you fault (in a way): I got a bad conscience for this book because of your clean-up list and decided that it needed a little push

@catem
Thank you so much for your recording of 45. You set quite an example for the time between claiming and finishing a section!

I'm sorry, I know you're supposed to wait to be added to the magic box ...!

Rainer, glad to help! You pick projects that interest me, so that's why we work together a lot

Yes, with such a massive project as this I can imagine taking care of the needed edits etc will take a long time.

Anyway, here's section 50:

Hello catem, it's perfectly alright to claim a section and record it before you are added to the magic window. Only if you record a section and in the meantime another one claims and gets it, you might have a problem (first come - first serve). Therefore it is just a little bit risky. But actually there are very seldom any conflicts.

And Anna, I'm glad my projects suit your taste...
Thanks for section 50!

Hey, if section 61 is still needed I can do it.

raynr · Post by **raynr** » November 2nd, 2009, 2:42 pm

Thanks, ashes. I'm looking forward to your recording!

And with this, we - once again - have volunteers for every section. Perhaps we will be able to finish this work soon.

Thank you, Anna - only four sections left!

Raynr, these are enhanced versions of files submitted earlier. The improvements are technical, not textual. Please replace the original files.

Thanks.

Bob
