Hi All - I have both the text and tapes for Serbo-Croatian Volume I (yes, they were purchased direct from NTIS). Any objections if I start digitizing, or will this duplicate someone else's efforts? I see the status is "Stalled" on the front page. Please let me know.
(oh, and thanks to Westwicket for digitizing the Urban Hijazi tapes, I know I promised to do this and never got around to it) - Ray |

According to the status page, gdfellows already has both textbooks for Serbo-Croatian, but has been placing priority on working on courses for which he has tapes and text. Where do you see on the page that the progress on SC is stalled? I thought that he's just waiting for the tapes. Now that you're offering to digitalize the SC material for Vol. 1, I'd imagine that gdfellows may think about starting to scan his copies of the SC textbooks.
Then again, I'm sure that he welcomes and encourages external efforts to do digitalization since he could otherwise go postal if he would need to digitalize yet another course in addition to the five courses that he's currently working on.

Oh, I see the status is "Waiting" not "Stalled". Given that multiple courses are queued as "Waiting" I assume this means there are more courses to digitize than people actively digitizing them, and hence and I am offering to digitize one of the ones I have.

You are right. Some people have contributed by donating material for gdfellows to work on, while others have been contributing by doing the digitalizing themselves and then sending the completed .pdf and .mp3 files to gdfellows for hosting. As you can tell, he's accumulated quite a collection of stuff and needs to set priorities for the task to be manageable on his end. From what I gather, gdfellows is digitalizing courses for which he (or together with another contributor) have access to all audio AND text thus yielding a complete offering here.
As I posted earlier, I'm sure that gdfellows welcomes digitalization from other members since it means that it'd be one fewer language on his crowded plate. If he were the only one doing all of the digitalizing work, it would take a looonnng time for all of the courses on the waiting list to be ready for hosting.
In the case of SC, it makes sense that he hasn't scanned the texts that he has since that course is incomplete without the tapes. However, if you start digitalizing Vol. 1 of SC, I'm sure that he'll be happy to get those files hosted as you make them available. Edited by Chung - 15 January 2007 at 11:21pm |

Right now the status says that audio is needed--and if Ray so generously has them....
Like Dartacao, I would be incredibly enormously grateful to anyone who made this available. I might even find a way to make them brownies! Edited by savannahm - 07 July 2007 at 10:44pm |

Is there any possibility to make this course available even if the audio still isn't? If somebody has problems with the pronounciation of some words, they could turn to people who speak this language in the mean time. I'll be glad to help people with pronounciation-problems. Speaking Serbian is not that difficult either, once you know how the each letter sounds.
"Piši kao što govoriš i čitaj kao što je napisano". : Write (it) how you pronounce (it) and read (it) how it is written.
