After the initial surprise and shock on Monday, I joined in with what Peter was
doing, and reviewed his changes as well as making further edits myself.
It was a long and arduous day, and hard to keep up with the pace. I was quite
exhausted at bed time!
Best regards,
David

> The pages are:

> https://crosswire.org/wiki/Module_Requests
> https://crosswire.org/wiki/Non-CrossWire_Text-Development_Projects

> The second one is likely to be more interesting as it is all about people
