<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Please forgive the missed modules. I
tried to save time by selecting only the modules with upper case
letters for rebuilding, and missed some. In my excitement, I kept
working on this even while traveling. It is kind of awkward remote
controlling my computer at home with a smaller-screened laptop, so
the text is tiny and the scrolling is jerky. That still worked
better than trying to do all of this from my laptop directly,
because of bandwidth constraints traveling. Still, it would have
been faster to rebuild everything, apparently. That is what
happens when I'm rushed and tired.<br class="">
<br class="">
On the other hand, during the day I was in a set of meetings where
I met the director of the Philippine Bible Society, so I have high
hopes of getting some more Bible translations for us. Stay tuned
on that.<br class="">
<br class="">
Yesterday, I added the Binandere Mark, Luke, and Acts to the set.
That is probably more exciting to a small group of people from the
Oro Province of Papua New Guinea than for you.<br class="">
<br class="">
I'm back at home, now. I think I have manually rebuilt the modules
with capitalization errors, but I just kicked off a full rebuild,
just in case.<br class="">

My testing of this has been simply to select all modules for
installation. You could do this yourself and find the same
result. I don't understand why this is such a challenge.</font><br class="">
