I noticed that a lot of manga have information added on here before a scanlation is released/a group picks it up. As a staff member of a scanlation group, I'm always looking around for raws/series that we can work on in the future.

One way I do this is by searching for series by genre on this site & digging through the pages until I find one that I would consider doing that isn't already done. It's obviously worth it (if I end up finding a good series) but I feel as if there could be a system to make the whole process more efficient. For example, if there is a new column that says "scanlated?" and then there could be a mark if it has been. Or maybe if you could search by latest release?

Just a thought I had...& I just want to say thank you as well since mangaupdates is an incredible resource ^^

It's an option on the search function, you could try that I guess
