An Introduction to Yoga, by Annie Besant (1847 - 1933)

This project is now complete. All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/an-introduction-to-yoga-by-annie-besant/
Four lectures by Annie Besant to give an outline and better understanding of Yoga
Source text (please read only from this text!): https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/4278

Target completion date: 2021-12-22

Prooflistening level: Standard
Prospective PLs, please see the Guide for Proof-listeners.

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Ok, Ritu. Your MW is up.

As soloist, you will also be the BC (book coordinator) for your project, and will be in charge of filling out the Magic Window. Before you can access a Magic Window for the first time, you will need to set up a password for logging into the workflow system, as described here:

How to log in to the workflow system for the first time

Other instructions for managing the Magic Window can be found on this wiki page:

https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Soloists:_How_to_update_the_Magic_Window

In a solo project, you don't have to worry about the things that BCs do in group projects for other readers. You just need to do the following:

1) Fill out the Title column, which will be used in the catalog (hit Enter to save).
2) Put file durations (mm:ss) into the Notes column (click Save to save).
3) Copy file URLs from the uploader and paste them into the Listen URL column (hit Enter to save).
4) Update the status to "ready for PL" and "ready for spot PL", as appropriate.

Let me know if you have any questions. I'll leave this thread here on the Launch Pad for a couple of days before moving it to the Going Solo forum, to see if a DPL (Dedicated Proof-listener) volunteers. I look forward to working with you!

Hello Michael,

Thank you so much. I'm so excited to do this project as it's my first as a soloist, and I'm so glad you picked it up. I'm sure I will have questions down the line, please be patient with me.

Great! I've added Rapunzelina as DPL and we're off to Going Solo. If you change your mind about reading the TOC, let me know and I'll delete that row. :)

Hi Michael and Rapunzelina,

Just got busy. Will start uploading within few days or so. I had some earlier claims that I am working on, after that I will start on this.

Thanks for you patience 😊🙏

Hi Ritu! :clap:

Section 1 is PL OK. Section 0 I think has a repetition of the title at 0:13 and 0:17 ?

Also, are you able to enter the links, etc. in the Magic Window?

See you later then :D

Hi Rapunzelina!

The repetition of the title is because that is how it is in the text (Once as part of the reader info, then again as part of how it is in the text). Do you think, I should delete it? :hmm: . please confirm.

Also please find the following for your review and feedback:

I am going to try entering the links for the first time now. Would you please confirm if I did it right? I did PL OK for one section, but I think that would be you doing it, right? I really appreciate your patience. I am in a training, just tried squeezing in a few chapters.

Thanks,
