1. How to claim a part, and "how it all works" here To find a section to record, simply look at point 5. below at the sections. All the ones without names beside them are "up for grabs." Click "Post reply" at the top left of the screen and tell us which section you would like to read (include the section number from the left-most column in the reader list, please). Read points 6. to 8. below for what to do before, during and after your recording.
2. New to recording? Please read our Newbie Guide to Recording!
3. Is there a deadline? We ask that you submit your recorded sections within 1-2 months of placing your claim. Please note that to be fair to the readers who have completed their sections in a timely way, if you haven't submitted your recording(s) after two months, your sections will automatically be re-opened for other readers to claim, unless you post in this thread to request an extension. Extensions will be granted at the discretion of the Book Coordinator. If you cannot do your section, for whatever reason, just let me know and it'll go back to the pool. There's no shame in this; we're all volunteers and things happen.Please do not sign up for more sections than you can complete within the two month deadline.

[Carolin]

good morning, i can mc this for you

lets go get you a magic window...

[Carolin]

alright, you are all set!

here is how to log on to the magic window for the first time, and there is also a sheet of instructions on how to edit the magic window

there was no specification on how many sections you needed, so i put twenty into the magic window for the time being. we can add or remove sections as needed as the project goes on.

i also shortened your file name to sappho_##_carman_128kb.mp3, for no reason other than that it will be shorter. if you prefer it differently, just say

we now only need a dpl to complete the team!

[inflected]

Thank you, Carolin!

I was thinking of maybe combining ten poems into one section, as they did in the other Sappho collection. (Even though Carman has created longer ones.) And, two more questions on what to include:

a) am I supposed to read the table of contents as well? If so, do I read it at the end of the introduction, or create a separate file?
b) do I have to read the information at the end, stating where it was printed and what other book have been published by the same company?

[Carolin]

ten poems sounds good, but you can also make bundles of seven or eight if they are longer.

you neednt read the frontispiece, the table of contents nor the advertisements. if you think that they add value to the project, you are welcome to read them, but we normally leave them out

[inflected]

Okay, thank you!

Can't wait for the next quiet night to start recording!

[Carolin]

im moving us out to going solo!

maybe a proof listener will find us by him / herself, but if nobody volunteered by the time you submitted your first section, we can post an advertisement

[inflected]

Great! Let's see if someone finds us. It's not a long book in any case, so one doesn't sign up for long hours of listening.

So, I've edited the sections and think we'll only be needing these 12. And for an update, I've recorded half the poems, but don't know when I'll get to editing them.

[Carolin]

i deleted the extra sections

Hi there! I'd love to join this project as a DPL. Fair warning, this would be my first such assignment. I've read the FAQs though and I think I should be okay on this short project! Let me know how I can get started helping

[Carolin]

hi gillian, welcome to librivox!

please read the guide for proof listeners to see what you are getting yourself into

also, here is how to log in to the magic window for the first time, and how to edit the magic window once you logged on.

have fun!

Thank you for joining the project! One section is already uploaded and I hope to at least edit the ones that are recorded soon-ish.

[gschnurr]

Thanks Carolin and Inflected! Happy to be here.

When I try to Login at https://librivox.org/workflow I get an error message that reads:

Is there something that needs to be changed to my account on the back end to overcome this? Thanks for your help!

[inflected]

If that link doesn't work, have you tried the "BC Admin" link under the Magic Window in the first post?

[gschnurr]

I tried running it through Firefox instead of Chrome and made it in! The first section sounds great. Nice work!
