*Job description, Wrangler: Accept the list of words for a book, delete any misspelled words that may have snuck through as Weird, be sure that first and last names are paired, and properly, submit the list in a form agreed-upon, to S. Lee by a deadline known in advance to all parties

Automagician:
We seem to have at least two folks who have done most of the needful:
ebartley
johnhawkinson

Zola and Capprichio have also volunteered their skills, but I think the software solution lets them off the hook. This time, she added, warningly.

The first thing we need to know is what resources are at hand. Both John and Elizabeth have lists, or will have lists? Can I ask the two of you to talk and sort out who has what, and split up any remaining sorting work between you?

While the Automagicians converse, may I hear from the Wranglers which book(s) they would like to Wrangle? We have (potentially) seven Wranglers and at least 8, and possibly 10, titles to sort. I feel that the Crystal books will be among those titles, and they do, I think, present a special challenge. Capprichio, is it possible that you could step up as Wrangler for those, rather than Harvester?

I will be away from the computer tomorrow, Saturday, but ought to be back on Sunday.

Once again, thank you all.

It would save effort for the wranglers if someone went over a net list of everything and eliminated false positives. I did one pass-through for that, and I can do more, but I'd like to ask if I simply eliminate non-standard English words which are obvious compounds (TempSubChair, autodoc, clanmate, cleanbot, multigun, musicart)? (Or I could email the list of possibilities to someone else if the authors want to select an eliminator or do that themselves.)
