Question for Verbum 10 acquistions
If someone were to follow the pattern of the Sacred Art series for Biblical icons - using WikiMedia copyright free images and Markup format, what are the chances that Verbum would consider including it in Verbum 10? And, similiarly, if someone did the same for icons of Saints? And would organization by subject or icon style or date?
Similarly, if someone were to create an annual sanctoral cycle calendar with links to missal, lectionary, breviary, factbook, and wikipedia with an image of the saint(s) for various Catholic countries, religious orders, Lutherans, etc. what are the chances that Verbum would consider including them in Verbum 10 and adding additional calendars as they become available?
Finally, if someone were to create a Jewish lectionary (not a Messianic one) for the one year cycle (and maybe the 3 year cycle) with variations within the lectionary for alternative readings, what are the chances that Verbum would consider including it in Verbum10?
Do any other users have similar questions e.g. lectionaries of the readings for the Office of Reading (including Christian Prayer 2nd year)? Psalm cycles? Traditional reading plans such as John Climacus in Lent, for the catechism, for the church fathers . . .Additional Catholic and Orthodox Workflows? Lectionaries for Eastern Rites? Historical lectionaries/church years (with only liturgical dates) including Anglican, Lutheran, Eastern & Oriental Orthodox? Fr, Devin Roza's index for dead sea scrolls online?

MJ,
All of these are great ideas. If you (or someone else) wanted to create these, you should write to us first.

I think Verbum needs a 1662 Book of Common Prayer with updated spelling. And I think we should have a layout and links that are a little more like the Catholic Daily readings, but for the traditional one year cycle.
The 1662 is the foundation of all the other later updates and one of the few things that all Anglicans share in common. IVP tries to present their copyrighted 1662 International version as the book to do that, but I think they failed.
There is such a wealth of public domain resources from the 1800s and early 1900's with updated spelling and supplementary and explanatory notes for the one year cycle.
I think the pandemic is not over and that many are craving something less virtual to cling to. More people are worshiping at home. I think we are coming full circle back to some things that maybe never should have been updated.
I think the IVP 1662 needs a little competition, and I'd like to see Lexham press publish a prayer book in leather and publish identical text in Verbum.

There are often problems with "updated spelling". Some times other things get changed also.
Like the committee, in the late 1800s, to "update the spelling" of the KJV and ended up with the RV.
Or maybe keep the original spelling and put the "updated spelling" in brackets [] as in 'old word' ['modern word'] .
That would make all the "updates" transparent. One wanting to read the original would just skip by all the words in brackets.
One wanting the updated version would skip to the word in brackets.

Have you tried the current layout without your BCP service book and lectionary as the highest priority?
