How soon should the project move to "Readers Found" (from "Readers Wanted") when it becomes "full"? And if it's not that important, why do we have the distinction ("Wanted" vs "Found")? And if "Readers Found" is too crowded to accommodate everybody (because they like staying in their respective "Short" or "Books" or "Dramatic" areas), perhaps we should split the "Found" similarly?
If this has already been discussed, please point me to the topic if you know it. Thanks!

It's moved by people so - the world isn't perfect sadly
So - there should be no full projects in readers wanted - the BC should post and the MC move it.
But as I said - the world isn't perfect , Did you have a particular one in mind ?
We have more books than anything else, so Readers Found is for books. Dramatic Works and short stuff would get lost in there, and there are such fewer projects in those folders that the FULL projects do not overwhelm or cover up the WANTED projects.
If we split off Short Works and DW's with their own folders, the folder list would grow that much more, and there would be very few projects in them at one time - a waste of clicks, IMHO.

Hi tovarisch. It is the responsibility of the BC to notify the MC that the project should be moved to REaders Found. Sadly, since I am the BC and the MC for most of my projects, I have been very remiss in notifying myself to move the project; yeah, I just forget in the excitement of LV. I'm sure it is frustrating for people to be looking for something to record, see an interesting project only to find there are no sections available. I've moved at least 4 of mine in the past week when people gently nudged me to do so. It think the distinction "wanted" and "found" is very useful because it allows prospective readers to skip those projects that are full; simple as that. Readers Found is never too crowded; why would any one even browse that forum? Anyway, I promise to do better housekeeping in the future

No, I don't have any particular one in mind.
I wonder if anything can be automated in this regard... Like, if MW now doesn't contain any "available" entries, a message is sent to the MC suggesting to move the thread to "Readers Found", but only once, so it doesn't become an irritation...

This discussion remunds me my first LibriVox recording.
I posted my first recording to a project at the reader's wanted forum.
But the project was full.
My recording was accepted as an exception.
I was happy. But I know I delayed the completion of the project.
Today I got a recording to my full project. I just refused to accept it, as I don't want to delay
the cataloging.
Masa's projects are different because they are collections that don't have sections assigned in advance. Each submission is chosen by individual readers, and the collections stay in the Short Works forum until they are cataloged (which happens shortly after they are filled most of the time). There is also (usually) a subsequent collection that opens about the same time the previous one fills, so there is somewhere to send "extra" recordings. The Readers Wanted: Books forum works differently and yes, books there are normally sent to Readers Found when all chapters have been claimed.
I'm new here. So, I'm just wondering... Mostly.
