Have any of us looked diligently at the Perseus Tools collection to<br>
judge whether or not any of its texts (and technologies!) could be<br>
leveraged into SWORD? They have a massive corpus of ancient Greek and<br>
Latin materials, including some very good and extensive dictionaries.<br></blockquote><div><br>I have looked at it in the past. As an English speaker, I'm not sure how interested I personally am in non-English texts (they may be the originals, but they probably lack wide appeal). Ones like Liddell-Scott might be more useful, but again I'm not sure.<br>
<br>Another collection I looked at was the MIT Classics collection (<a href="http://classics.mit.edu/">http://classics.mit.edu/</a>), which contains a number of public domain English translations (and I checked with them a year and a half ago and they said to the best of their knowledge the translations were completely public domain and I could use them for whatever I wanted). Some of them relate history that is referenced sometimes in Bible study, and I would sometimes like to see the original than just accept the bite sized chunks I am given. Others would be more used for (possibly reliable) background information.<br>
