> Hey Everyone,
>
> 	Some of you might not know me, I am the Copyright Coordinator for
> CrossWire Bible Society. So pretty much that means I try and negotiation
> with Bible Societies and Publishers to distribute their works with The
> SWORD Project. I wanted to update everyone on what is going on in the
> copyright front:
>
> Permission Letters:
> 	I have been waiting for some professional letterhead to be designed, so
> that I can send professional looking letters to bible societies and
> publishers. I finally have that so I am in the process of getting things
> together to start sending out permission letters.
>
> Copyright Website:
> 	There are a whole bunch of updates to the Copyright Website
> (http://www.crosswire.org/sword/copyright/) in the contact information
> section. I now have an easy way to update the copyright information for
> each text module.
>
> NEEDS:
> Translations:
> 	I am in need of those people that are fluent in more than one language.
> There is a lot of contact information that I do not have especially from
> those organizations that serve people that speak languages other than
> English. So if you would like to help research contact information for
> organizations that operate in another language please let me know. I
> will eventually need some translation help when contacting those
> organizations also...let me know if you are willing to help with that
> too.
> 	RIGHT NOW IF SOME THAT KNOWS GERMAN WANTS TO HELP ME FILTER THROUGH
> SOME CONTACT INFORMATION I HAVE RECEIVED PLEASE E-MAIL ME.
>
> Copyright Contact Information:
> 	I still need help researching the contact information for Bible
> societies and publishers. So if you are willing to help make my research
> load a little easier please visit the Copyright Website and see what
> text modules I still need contact information for.
> (http://www.crosswire.org/sword/copyright/)
>
> If anyone has questions or comments about the copyright efforts please
> feel free to e-mail me directly. I would be more than happy to address
> those.
