50books_pocTwo quick updates on the awesomeness of people who have been doing stuff for the comm:
First, the author tag project is proceeding apace! Over seven hundred (!) of the thousand posts have been indexed on delicious by both book-author and post-author (respectively "author:" and "by." tags, gathered under the bundles "authors" and "members"). I cannot tell you how thrilling this has been. Hurrah to the volunteers!
When we finish up this phase, we'll be looking at phase two, which will be redoing the race/ethnicity/nationality tags, as well as making sure that genre and topic tags are duplicated on both platforms. Thereafter, you'll be able to do searches for "young-adult by.oyceter", or "science-fiction native-american" or your tag-smash combo of choice.
Second, much thanks to whoever donated a year of paid time to the comm. Paid time both doubles our LJ tag limit and removes ads from the comm altogether. (Yay!) I really like knowing that non-LJ people won't be running into ads here, and we can certainly use the extra thousand tags, even with the extra tag-space freed up by moving the author tags to delicious.
In short, the mod-team has been feeling the love. Thank you, all. It is a really good feeling to know that so many of you value the comm that when we need help, there are people who can. And who do. :-)
