Volunteers needed for FamilySearch Digital Books Test

The FamilySearch Digital Book Team (books.familysearch.org) is currently looking for volunteers for a month-long project. Volunteers should be comfortable using a gedcom-compatible program such as PAF or RootsMagic.
The idea is to take our digital books and manually inputting the names from the book into a gedcom program and in doing so, also lineage-linking individuals where possible. 
It is just a test, we only need to do a couple of small books, and hope to wrap it up by the end of the month. Each book has been divided into segments of abt 2-10 pages so they can be done in small increments, but they do need to be done by someone who is familiar with Family History Software. 
For more information, and to sign-up, please contact Annaleise Dearinger at dearingerat@familysearch.org.
