Mentor Projects

If you would like more people to get more books through DP, and get those queues down, then mentoring is vital. If you would like to take it up either on your own or as a tag-team partnership and help people get started, the mentoring folk would be delighted to hear from you.

Concentrating the effort

Please keep in mind, the idea is to show you what's available and to give ideas of where people could concentrate their efforts. The information isn't meant to make you feel inadequate because we have all these bits of text hanging about.

Rapid P3 Departure Projects

Several people have expressed their interest in participating in regular P3 Rapid-Departure groofs. Which is to say that we like pulling struggling projects near enough to land so that other folks, pitching in, can yank them ashore with relative ease.

Ideally, these P3 Rapid Departures would be projects having one to two solid day's worth of proofing if left to one dogged--but lo-o-o-onely person, but which could be sent rapidly on their merry resuscitated F1 way, if groofed by a few happy helpers.

P3 Junkies Current Projects

The P3 Diehards team is dedicated to proofing and groofing slower-moving projects in P3. The main aim is to ensure that every project completes the P3 round within 100 days. This is achieved by coordinating the team's efforts in the Team Thread in the forums, where "Focus" projects are identified each day, and groofs are often arranged.

Projects most in need of an extra effort in P3 can also be seen at the top of the "Projects at risk" list (that is, at risk of exceeding 100 days in the round).

Before September 2021 the team was known as "P3 Junkies". And prior to June 2006, when we switched to the three proofing round system, this was the "P2 Junkies" team.

F1 Foofers Current Projects

As of right now, we are so short of projects in F1, we aren't listing projects. Just look for what interests you.


F2 Fanatics Current projects

The projects are listed by date of entry into F2, oldest first. The date at the beginning of each entry is the date of going on the F2 Fanatics list.


Smoooth Readers

Smooth Reading (SR) can be a very good way to find some of those last few niggling errors or oddities in a project. While a project does not have to go through the SR process before it is posted to PG, many Post Processors choose to make at least some of their projects available for Smooth Reading (via the Smooth Reading Pool) for a period of time.

Distributed Smooth Reading can be defined as breaking a project uploaded for Smooth Reading into more than one chunk, in order to facilitate covering a larger percentage of especially large projects than one smoothyer might be willing or able to handle.

There is no formalized coordination of breaking larger projects into smaller pieces: time and experience has proven that the best ways to do this are to:

  • Send a PM directly to the PPer, and express interest in doing part of the project.
  • Post in the Smoooth Readers team thread.

In both cases, if there's a particular part of the project that appeals to you, say so. PPers are generally happy to have even partial smooth reads. To let them know which part you worked on, use [** notes] to show where you started and ended.

DP Neglected Projects Page

Look if you dare! These are projects that are 'available' in some round, but have not had a page done in the last 24 hours - some information may be repeated further down in DP's oldest projects. You can find the page here:Neglected Projects Page.

DP's Oldest Projects

angels3mom started a spreadsheet to keep track of the oldest projects still in the p1/p2/p3/f1/f2 rounds (and lingering between those rounds), with assistance from zarabee, as part of the work of The Gravedigger team.

The project list exists as a spreadsheet, including the date the project was created, and the date the project had its first recorded activity on DP. Because of the extreme age of some projects, the date they entered P1 or R1 can't be accurately determined, in which case it's been estimated based on forum posting dates and similar clues.

The list is based predominantly on Retread projects sent back through the rounds when DP changed over to P1/P2/P3 proofing (aka The Change). Other projects are sourced from P3 Oldies and forum searches for project discussions authored by Raz. Raz authored project threads before they became automated some time in 2004. Some projects from 2003 don't have a project discussion at all.

Listed below are projects which were started (R1 proofing) in 2002 and 2003, including projects which likely had activity in 2002/2003, but the date when they entered R1 is uncertain (marked with a *). You can also see the table sorted by Age: oldest projects

Progress summary

June 2009: As at October 2007, there were only two projects with first recorded activity in 2002 listed here, and 95 with first recorded activity in 2003. By June 4, 2009, 24 of these had been posted to PG; 26 were either in Post-Processing or available for PP; 31 were in formatting, and the remaining 16 were in proofing rounds. Four additional projects had already been completed and posted by then, making 101 altogether.

July 2010: Since a year ago, eleven more old projects have been cleaned up. Yay! The numbers of projects left in proofing, formatting and post-processing stages have fallen by 4, 5 and 2 respectively. Unfortunately all the proofing round projects are unavailable for one reason or another.

January 2010: This could be a good year: The American Revolutionis Waiting for Release in P3; in addition 6 projects are available for F2 now, with 8 waiting; this leaves only 4 periodicals unavailable. With 18 available for PP there's potential for progress at this stage too.

Post-processing

Note the final column below is maintained by hand. The date shown for Available for PP refers to the most recent date - some projects have been checked out one or more times and then returned. What is most useful here? PPers, feel free to jump in, check these out, and change the data here.

If you're thinking of picking up one of the available projects to PP, please remember that because of their age, they may not be up to current DP standards. Be particularly mindful of the quality or lack of illustration files. If you find a problem with any of the projects, tell someone. The first point of contact should be the PM, if still active, so posting in the project thread is a good first step. This page is a good starting point for checking projects.
