- How to claim a part, and 'how it all works' here
To find a section to record, simply look at point 5. below at the sections. All the ones without names beside them are ?up for grabs.? Click "Post reply" at the top left of the screen and tell us which section you?d like to read (include the blue number, please). Read points 6. to 8. below for what to do before, during and after your recording. - New to recording?
Please read our Newbie Guide to Recording! - Is there a deadline?
Target completion date of this project: 30 June 2006 ? but try to send your recordings as soon as you can. If you cannot do your section, for whatever reason, just let me know and it?ll go back to the pool. There?s no shame in this; we?re all volunteers and things happen.
Please post progress updates here every now and then, but definitely before 15 June! - Where do I find the text?

Please check the Recording Notes:

Sample rate
1. 44.1KHz is the default sample rate in lots of software. We like getting files at this rate.
2. Some know-it-all told us that 32KHz sounds better. If you know how, try to use this rate.
3. We want to make this easy, so we'll take any rate from 22 to 44.1KHz, if you need us to.
4. Please don't use 48KHz or anything under 22KHz. If you accidentally send us something at these rates, our uploaders will resample it for you and advise you on how to record at a sample rate we can use. Don't worry, your work will never be wasted! - DURING recording:
Make sure you add this to the beginning and end of your recording:
Start of recording (Intro)- "This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information, or to volunteer, please visit: librivox DOT org"

"Recording by [your name], [city, your blog, podcast, web address]" - Say:
"The History of the Peloponnesian War, by Thucydides. Translated by Richard Crawley. Book [number], chapter(s) [number(s)]"
End of recording- At the end of the section, say:
?End of Book [number], chapter(s) [number(s)]" - At the end of the whole book, say (in addition):
"End of The History of the Peloponnesian War, by Thucydides, and translated by Richard Crawley."
Please leave a couple of seconds silence at the end of your recording!
