Hi,
I think the real question you should be asking is what does the howto do.
Does he explain ways of translating the bible using tools on a gnu/linux
based operating system? (a).
Or (b) is he trying to use this howto to express his own political views of
the bible?
I think (a) is just fine, (b) is a different story.
Although maybe you (as in everyone) should wait till you see some kind of
draft....
Regards,
Gareth
