Thank you, David. I'm going to take up the NASB work. I won't need anyone's work that has already been done on this, though if anyone would like to give input, I don't mind.
I appreciate the depth of your explanation for source texts and for all of the clarification you've provided. The only source I found referenced in the Wiki was CCEL. I'll continue looking. From your description, it sounds like archive.org would not be a suitable source- no direct interest in the preservation of a text. Unless transcribing the PDF scans would be acceptable. I don't plan on doing that at this point, however. As these (PD) are developed, I'll host them publicly in my own repository as well as submitting them to Crosswire's official repo. I may also set them in a forum for discussion and feedback, etc. On that I'm not quite fully committed. I'm also open to correction and reproof on anything I've spoken. In fact, I welcome this. May we, in our development of these modules and softwares, keep Jesus Christ the absolute center, with a purity and simplicity of devotion to Christ.
