Hey all, I haven't disappeared, and I'm following the discussion with great interest, but I'm a bit out of my depth to be participating in it. I'm 'techie' enough to edit raw XML if I have to (though I don't relish the prospect), and if there are Linux tools other than WeSay for editing LIFT

That is not a bad idea, and we tried it for awhile at textonline.org. But you also lose one important feature: semantic markup. Wikis use a display markup, so you can't preserve certain data as distinct, like lemma, Strong's number, and part of speech. Scripture references may be the exception

Hi, This might be a silly idea from a non-techie, but why not just use a Wiki? Markup is simple, far more people will be familiar with it, it's platform- independent and doesn't require any additional software to be installed. In addition, your work would take place in a more public setting, th
