[markpenfold]

(SOLO) The Basic Bible, Old Testament by S.H. Hooke (1874-1968) .

The Old Testament, translated by an American committee lead by S.H.

  IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record 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!

Just a note to the MC who volunteers: Lomond has volunteered to PL for this project! Thank you!!

FYI, your file names won't sort correctly if you're changing the Bible books for each one. I'd recommend:

oldtestament_01_basicbible_128kb

If you want to put in the book name, then this (although it will be a bear for your MC to catalog, unless you make sure the file names are perfect over the whole project:

oldtestament_01_basicbible_genesis_128kb
or
ot_01_basicbible_genesis_128kb

In general, the file name must have [projecttitle]_[sectionnumber]_[author/Bibleversion]_128kb
and if you want to stick something unusual in it (in other projects, this would be the reader's initials or something like that), it would be tacked on right before the _128kb.

Hi, Tricia! Thank you for the tip! I've decided on the simplest form---"oldtestament_01_basicbible_128kb". I think that definitely makes the sorting process much easier!!

[markpenfold]

Oh, and one more question:

Since the project will have 124 sections, how will that factor into the filenames?

[TriciaG]

Oh, yeah. Make 'em all 3 digits. Thanks for remembering.

I'll leave this a couple days and see if another MC adopts it. If not, I'll do so. But since I have a fair amount of projects already, I'll see if someone else wants to do it first.

Hi Mark its a long time since we worked together
I can MC this, I'll be back soon.

[annise]

MW setup. Since you lasted read the only change I can think about is you do not need to add metadata - the catalguing process does that
Lomond added as DPL

I have actually forgotten what you mean by "metadata". Can you clarify what that is?

Thanks!

[annise]

It was the ID tags on each file - we used to need file title. book title and author and it is still in the template but I removed it from there

Anne

[markpenfold]

There's a crew putting up siding on our duplex, and they're making a lot of noise, so I will start recording when they're finally done. It may be a couple of days.

[markpenfold]

Alright....I will be uploading a couple of shorter books in the next day or two. I have the first section (Genesis 1-10) recorded and ready for editing, but I thought I'd have at least one or two of the short ones posted so I can stay ahead of this project.

[markpenfold]

Here is Section 033, The Book of Ruth:
