Learning

Projects do not always go according to plan. Sharing what you learned can help you and others plan similar projects in the future. Help the movement learn from your experience by answering the following questions:

What worked well? We have successfully carried out the program by visiting libraries to obtain Public Domain Files, successful in uploading the files, and finally we meet most our goals and impact.
What did not work so well? There are three things that doesn't work so well, the uploading of the files by giving each file its rightful name, which we realise that it will slow the files upload if to say we are to rename every file.
What would you do differently next time?
