Hmm, that's a good plan, but it's up to Manick of course. If he agrees, the process could take a while, but I guess it'd be worth it. We could make it our long term project~ I'm pretty sure we can contact most of the scanlation groups that are still around. Baka-Updates DOES have a good reputation. It's also a nice community thing!

I've been deleting those "future project of ___" from the description of numerous series over and over again, and someone just keeps adding it back. would it be possible to put some kind of notice above the text box to let people know that they're not suppose to enter such things?

just check all the mangas with little or no info and 39 percent of them has it. At least the last time I check it.
BTW do anybody cares that if some group "reserved" it. Nobody in this bloody world can say they reserve it. Only the publishing company can reserve the manga.
Just to prove nobody can reserve a manga, our group will pick up random mangas and start translating them doesn't matter if it's future, current, dropped, watever.
The Next Generation of manga scanlation group is here.

lambchopsil:
its mostly the series that began this year... in other words anything from 2007. (though I only check the shoujo series...) they tend to be the newer projects that teams are trying to "reserve".
edit: actually, i noticed the majority of the reservations i remove are for this team called "quatrain of love". they've released nothing, no irc channel, and their website isn't even set up yet... but they've been reserving tons of shoujo series. if you could look into that, it would be great, thanks.

God, that was a lot of series to edit...And I thank Tiny, neko-bot, and Maris for helping take care of some series (and Manick even got one~) In the end, Quatrain of Love reserved about 50 different series...
And yes, I WILL be talking to that group
Also, if you find any more, report them please~
