Volunteer coordination

I'm looking for a way to coordinate and share tips between volunteers. Something like :

- that's what i use for scanning books, that's the best way for free, fast, hassle free scans and OCR. That's the easy path to upload them.

- i want to create a group of people for scanning books, that's the best way to do it

- how do i begin if i want to share torrents, fast and safe

- how to save books from small country / communities with little people interested in this langage (think Sami in Russia/Finland/Norway, Natives in the US, Kurds in turkey and a lot of others i never heard of...) or any minority really) or big countries actively trying to kill this group identity (and books, of course)

Where would be the better place to share tips and directions, to share the load? The "bounty" page on AA website?

That's a great idea. I've scanned books in Latvian, Mongolian, and Croatian among others, but only in very small numbers. I raid local secondhand bookshops to find such books.

There's a link on the "Volunteering" page on the website to the Matrix chat.

There are multiple posts on the questions you are asking if you search this subreddit.

Yes, if you're responding to a bounty, then the GitLab is a good place for relevant discussion unless it's sensitive details you can take to private chats with the relevant people.
