It's a new month... time for some new bug fixes!
While Matt is still working on harnessing the book data that we all have contributed to, and making it available for searches, he's also been rather busy fixing other things, and even adding some nifty little features. Read all about it in this Announcements forum post.

Looked good and was cheap. The best of all worlds.
Melissa Fay Greene read an article about the incredibly high incidence of orphans in Ethiopia, a country riddled with AIDS which was killing adults and destroying families. She and her husband decided to adopt one of the children. In traveling to Ethiopia to arrange for an adoption she discovered that there were very, very few orphanages, but that one of them was run by a widow from her tiny house without any government support or aid from anyone. Out of her investigation arose this book.
Melissa Greene not only writes well, but carefully informs the reader about the onset, possible treatments, world reaction, and Ethiopia's response to HIV and AIDS, all the while telling the story of Hargoin and the many, many, many children she takes in, feeds, clothes, loves, schools, and eventually helps find new parents for. To take in these children would be hard enough for someone with background in NGOs, but Hargoin had none--just a big, loving heart.
