[sword-devel] Open Content Creation

[Jerry Hastings]

Another great idea! I like it. Need to be careful with the "cult" word 
though. Open source software development is not a good place to practice 
counter cult methods. For reasons like that, a text review board should 
probably not be "official" and should have some distance between it and 
Crosswire. But, it would be nice to see a review of "unknown" works. One 
day I may want to see something written from a certain point of view. On 
another day I may want to look at something written from a differing point 
of view. It would be nice to have an idea of what way a work leans. And to 
know the quality of the writing.
