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!

Absolutely. Just keep the duration to less than 74m. Hopefully, most sections will be below 60m.

Nice find. Let me know if any changes are needed. I added the authors birth/death dates and a wiki link.

Thanks for the help setting up. I noticed some of the chapters were very short, so I decided to put two together throughout. And I used the chapter numbers as the title, so to speak, which means I didn't mention "section" anywhere. Can I do that?

Yes. Combining chapters make sense when they are short. The sequential section numbers are only needed so the files play in the correct order.
