New Releases

Posted on June 17, 2011 by | Posted in about LibriVox, For Volunteers, News, Uncategorized | Comments: 10 Comments on New Releases

We still have a number of areas where work is ongoing, and users may notice things that are not working properly yet. There is a lot of work still to do and it is going to take some time to get everything functioning as we would wish. Security and usability are our top priorities.

In the meantime, one area that is not working is the New Releases update on the LibriVox Home Page. The new Releases RSS feed is working, so if you are subscribed to that you will see new releases as they come through, but they are not appearing on the Home Page.

In the meantime, this may help if you have missed any of the new releases since the reinstatement of the catalogue: the Internet Archive LibriVox index page has a list of all new releases in date order. Scroll down until you see “This just in”.

We are all greatly looking forward to getting back to what we are all here for – making public domain texts available as audio recordings. We thank you for your patience.

Catalog Up Again

Posted on June 10, 2011 by | Posted in about LibriVox, News | Comments: 13 Comments on Catalog Up Again

The catalog is back up!

The tireless Dan has been working night and day to fix numerous issues with our catalog, and finally it is back up and running. Magic Windows (for you volunteers) are working again too. Thanks to Kara and others for help testing.

Also: a big thank you to David at the security firm/startup Subgraph for all his wonderful support and help.

We’ll post a bit more information when everything is finished up.

But I just want to express heaps of gratitude on behalf of everyone in the LibriVox community for the hard and frustrating work that has been done over the past two weeks to enable LibriVox to do what it does: make free public domain audiobooks.

Hugh.

We are pleased to report that the catalogue is now available again. It has been extensively tested, but please report any minor hiccups on the Error Reports forum.

Fail not for sorrow, falter not for sin,
But onward, upward, till the goal ye win.

Thank you for your patience.
