Rawhide Kid 001 uploaded

Title says it all!

In case anyone is wondering about the scan credit in the name (ASP-Pmack), I gave it some thought. I know there was a discussion a while back about some people not wanting to join a group per say, but I have been thinking that it doesn't seem right that I scan and upload a book and get all the "credit" for it, especially when it goes public. I decided to use the same credit conventions that the mighty Ontololgy uses when he scans fiche. When he credits the scan, even though he's done all the work himself, he always includes OldWayne, because OW supplied the fiche. (I know sometimes others edit fiche for him, but that doesn't affect my point.) I may have scanned Rawhide Kid 1, but it was supplied by the Atlas Scan Project and they will be credited accordingly.

So from this point on, I'm going to use that convention here as well. Credits will be (ASP-scan-edit). I share all the released files on DC++, and I've renamed them to this standard. Whether or not those of you who edit our scans want to follow this when you upload here is completely up to you, but when I share in the hubs or upload them to the newsgroup they will be standardized to this format.

Rawhide Kid #1

Here's some new info to keep you all up-to-date:

1) As discussed in the comments of the last update, there was a hard-to-find Rawhide Kid #1 up for auction, which I bid on and won. With shipping it came to $235. It has been paid for and I'm just waiting for the arrival.

This is the kind of book I was hoping this project would enable us to get. I don't think anyone here wants to spend that much on one book, so I'm glad you're all in on this.

Gambit informs me that we now only need three issues to complete the series: 5, 6 and 13. Which leads me into item #2...

2) I have sold just about everything we have already purchased and scanned. I think I have less that $25 in books left that haven't been sold yet. With the new donations to the group and the money not spent on RK #1, we have $85 in the kitty. At this point, I'm going to hold onto this money to purchase any/all of the three issues we are missing from Rawhide Kid. If you see one for auction or BIN, or on some other site, get in touch with me and I'll buy it. If you can't get in contact with me and you're afraid it will get sold, buy it yourself and I will fully reimburse you.

3) I mentioned new donations above: Mal32 kicked in another share. In addition, please welcome Fett to the group, who kicked in a little more that our average share.

4) There have been some new files uploaded:

I also updated the scan_project file with the latest numbers. I haven't updated the checklist yet, but for those who aren't aware, Brigus has dropped a bunch of excellent-looking early Kid Colt Outlaws in the last week.

5) I'm going to try and set up an RSS feed for this blog later today.
