Hi,
so I heard we want to get to 12000 books in the catalogue before the anerversary. But I cannot find any thread about it. I would like to help and be helped by that. I can help with pling I guess. More free time right now. Can anyone send a link? I looked around but could not find. Sorry for being so silly.

Love gothic novels? Try Children Of The Abbey. Like surprising mysteries? Try The Amathist Cross. Looking for an easy read? Try Harriet's Choice.

uh no, that was a misunderstanding, stav:
i guess some people worked to reach the count - on internet archive, it shows we have already over 12.000 books.
and 12.000 is mentioned in the anniversary-song..
and we do have 101 catalogued books this month.
im quite sure, that is no coincidence - but there is no project on it...

at the 10th of july, i made a thread about the magic dozen thousand number in off-topic

Hi Stav,

The current total of cataloged projects is 11990 so my guess would be we could hit 12000 in the next day or so, certainly before August 10th! :) We have cataloged 587 projects so far this year, which is an average of about 84 projects a month or 21 projects per week. July is definitely the most productive month this year so far.

Here's how it breaks down per month
07-2018 104 (as of the 29th)
06-2018 86
05-2018 71
04-2018 93
03-2018 82
02-2018 68
01-2018 80
