Process for adding new texts

Forums

Apologies if this is a silly question, but I can't see an FAQ for adding new texts to the library. I understand how to add a new text and have done so. It was really easy :) But what happened next was a little confusing. The automated email I got includes a prompt to publish the changes (and hence to publish the text) but that url takes me to a log in page, and I don't have a login for the site. I presume that needs to be done by a site admin? But if so, I'm not sure why I received the prompt to publish it. Maybe it's a quirk of the site's back end?

Ziming and archiving the library

Forums

Does this site allowed web crawling and scraping tools such as ones used by the site zimit? I’m working on a personal archiving project and one of the things I’d like to have a copy of is the anarchist library as I believe its an incredibly important resource that should be preserved, and I can’t think of any reasonable way to download every single entry so I’d like to use a ziming tool and simply archive the site as is.

Book Submission Not Showing Up

Forums

I recently submitted a copy of Dean Spade's new book - "Love in a F*cked-Up World: How to Build Relationships, Hook Up, and Raise Hell Together," but it has not yet shown up in the library, despite having a publishing date in September. Is there a reason it has not yet been posted?
