I have just catalogued my solo as project #10018!

This challenge will be closed on August 9th, midnight (or on our anniversary: August 10th 00:01), that leaves us about 17 hours to go!

Endspurt, ladies and gents!

We all deserve t-shirts: "I survived the 11th Anniversary Clean up at LV!"

Well done everyone! (And I am secretly delighted to be a part of project 10,000). When the challenge started I wasn't sure we could make it. And we completely smashed it!

I stole this idea and posted an image in the Facebook group.

Yes we do! Who cares about Golf and Rugby? Audiobook Creation should have been the new event!

Happy 11th Anniversary Everybody!

The deadline has passed and cleanup is now officially closed.

Thank you everybody - and I mean: everybody - for your efforts!

Give me a few minutes to count and give you the final statistics.

Okay, so here are the statistics for our latest, most successful cleanup month:

In July we have completed 155 projects, that's the highest completed project count ever!

In August we have completed an additional 62 projects within the first 9 days, which is probably a record itself!

And then there are 6 more projects in validation, which means that we have finished them on time, it's just that archive does not want to be cooperative at the moment.

That means, in total we have finished, from July 1st to August 9th the amazing number of 223 projects, that's 5.575 completed projects every single day!

Of these projects, 22 were in languages other than English (most of them in Spanish, interestingly); 88 were read by a solo reader, and we even completed 7 dramatic works in the last 40 days!

Right now, our completed projects count says we have
10022 LibriVox audiobooks
ready for download!

But we're not stopping there, are we?
