There are about 380 entries
If I shift the "other" languages onto a page which has sections for each of the non English tongues we will still have about 340
So how many per page do people feel is a comfortable number to have as a maximum?

Opinions welcome

Anne

P.S. Everything will be linked from the first page of course

I think breaking them into fiction and nonfiction would be a good idea.

That's not a bad idea

at least that is a clear boundary - so we would have English Fiction , English non fiction, French, German and Dutch pages (if they wanted to split they could on the one page)

How are things going - we are missing you - can you say y'all yet?

New to the Dutch page:
http://librivox.org/reinaart-de-vos/
http://librivox.org/paddeltje-van-johan-been/
http://librivox.org/de-lotgevallen-van-tom-sawyer-by-mark-twain/

And for the new pages I would prefer to see them ordered by author.

Not bad. I haven't found employment yet but I'm settled and finding odd jobs to do and enjoying spending time with my girlfriend, now that we finally share the same state.

Thanks. I was just thinking today of a few books I'd like to convert if we've got them. I'm going to try to pop in more often.

Not without sarcasm.

I'm currently uploading The Pirates of Ersatz to page 4.

I've been busy experimenting with my own program to generate the m4b files without having to go through iTunes playlists. This is the first file I'm trying as an upload so hopefully it won't have any problems playing for anyone who downloads it. It works fine on my iPod Touch but I don't have any non-iPods to try.

I cancelled the upload since I was just trying the file on an iPod Nano and couldn't find the audiobook. I will try later.

Found the problem - operator error. I'm not used to the nano and hadn't allowed the audiobooks to show up. Once I did, the file worked fine. I will retry the upload now.

Uploaded and linked.

Sounds interesting - the Sci Fi are pretty popular downloads so we should hear if it doesn't work

I finished uploading and linking The Planet Strappers by Raymund Z. Gallun. I have about 14 more to upload but this is enough for now.
