borking pages
Hi Seth, thanks for pointing out the borkable pages; only one of them really needed to go. We could use some more cleanup pages here on the wiki to coordinate efforts to find weird articles.
Tell me more about how your speex work is coming -- have you tested out how well that works recently? And I'd love to help get that flickr idea going; perhaps creating a group about it on flickr and certainly creating a set of tags... is there a standard way to do this within the flickr community?

Librivox
This should be a proper "contributing site" page, after the model used by Internet_Archive. If you have a moment and can fill in that kind of info -- links, icon, and extent of collection -- that would be useful. As an aside, I'm trying to get groups of teachers and librarians to have reading hours where they record themselves and upload to librivox -- since kids libraries already do a lot of reading and even podcasting; and I want them to start doing multiple-person recordings, with a reasonable tech setup and multiple mikes... there are still no public recordings of shakespeare, for instance!

- Yeah, I would love to do that! I'll put that on my to-do list. It's so great that you're helping people contribute to Librivox. It's such a great project. What if we had a that on whatever "how you can contribute" page that exists. Far more layman users are going to be able to contribute to that (with a $20 usb mic or less) and a copy of Audacity, than most of the current OLPC work that is going on right now.
- I wish I had my little booth put back together so I could read more often. PS, there are a few Shakespeare recordings on LV, but not nearly enough. Shakespeare. Specialization is for Insects 23:47, 14 October 2007 (EDT)
