Yeah, we have our own jargon. Here is a little video that may explain some of them but keep asking questions;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnxpcbnEjoQ&feature=youtu.be

BC = book coordinator
DPL = Dedicated Proof Listener
PL = proof listen
MC = Metacoordinator (mythical figures that live in the eather; no one has ever seen one but they are necessary to set up projects)

For specifics,
DPL= Dedicated Proof Listener, a volunteer who commits to listening to each and every file that gets sent in for a project.
PL= Proof Listener, a volunteer who picks what files they'd like to listen to from a project.
BC= Book Coordinator, a person who begins a project and handles the general stuff (like the Magic Window, sometimes DPLing, etc)
MC= Basically what Phil said :lol:

To be really specific, here's what Gesine posted about MCs:

Meta coordinators are administrators who set up projects in the database, give advice while a project is ongoing, and take over from the book coordinators (or soloists) when the project is completed. The MCs take the files and upload them onto the LibriVox catalogue. They are also available for questions, but it's a different role from that of the book coordinator. Essentially, where the book coordinator's work finishes, the meta coordinator's begins.
