[bt-devel] Release schedule for next version of BibleTime

[Greg Hellings]

Jaak,

Fortunately my commitment to Wycliffe might be winding down in the
next few months as our product pushes towards the possibility of
release. It has been taking up the most of my free development time of
late, thus taking me out of the BibleTime picture.

Sadly for BibleTime, this does not equate to me spending more time on
it, as my Wycliffe commitment was scheduled such as it is in order to
allow me to be free by the time my wife has our first child. I'm sure
that will lead to infinitely more time spent doing things
non-electronic in nature.  My hope and plan to work on the BibleTime
back end still exists, but I don't know what form it will take as the
next chapter in my own life unfolds.
