  Well, I agree, you shouldn't rearrange already available texts - for 
copyright and accuracy issues. The proposal is to get people with a good 
theological background (IMO, this "project" should accept people like myself 
that aren't qualified) to create a new traslation in the open source method.

  I personally think this would work. Who is more dedicated to their work - a 
non-Christian college student in Finland that wants to create an operating 
system similar to MINIX, or a Christian who has a passion for Scriptures? I'd 
say it's the latter - and that's why I think this can succeed.
