I just wanted to chime in and say that I am new and a medieval lit PhD student, and I would love to get in on some Old or Middle English reading action (I'm an Anglo-Saxonist, but like most of us, encountered Middle English first and can handle it comfortably). The entirety of the Tales is probably a little large if there are only a few medieval-types around (and being very new to this, I myself am probably not worth a whole lot at this point), but maybe a smaller-scoped project (or a series of smaller-scoped projects) could bring Middle-English-equipped people out of the woodworks/attract them to Librivox? Quality is, of course, a potential problem, but in my classroom experience, the people who read Middle English badly and the people who volunteer to be heard by others overlap pretty rarely.
Once again, I am very new (this is my third post in the forum), so if I have said anything very ignorant or out of turn, please chastise or ignore me as you see fit.
Malo malo malo malo.
