Updates - Re-tagging, typos, LCV, RIs?

Let me start by saying that this is curiosity, not complaint. I'm also not trying to nail Logos down on dates or promises.

With that out of the way, I'm just curious about progress on some of the projects that we know are underway:

1) We know that older resources (AYBD and others) are being re-tagged to better integrate with the larger library of resources that have become available since the older resources were first released. (http://community.logos.com/forums/t/6794.aspx )

2) Work is being done on correcting typos, but last I remember hearing is that there needs to be some kind of better implementation of organizing and addressing the typo reports since the current system was never designed to handle the kind of volume it is receiving. (http://community.logos.com/forums/p/23422/174569.aspx#174569 )

3) There is work being done to bring more resources into the LCV fold to further integrate the library and further increase the usefulness of features like Biblical People, Places, and Things (http://community.logos.com/forums/p/23119/172251.aspx )

4) Reverse Interlinears are being aligned for NLT and NIV OT

I know there have been many new resources tagged with LCV, so there is definitely progress being made. I'm just curious if anyone at Logos is able/willing to share how things are coming with some of these projects? Has any progress been made on getting a new "back end" in place for the typo system? Do we know which resources are next on the priority list of LCV tagging or re-tagging in general (and is AYBD getting closer)? Is work going smoothly with the RI alignment for NLT and NIV? Are there other RIs in the pipeline for other translations?

Just to emphasize again, I'm not complaining and I'm not demanding dates or even specifics...I'm just curious. These are some of the projects that I'm most excited to see progress on at the moment and so I'm wondering about how they are coming. Even vague stuff like "typos are still on the back burner because of problems with the current system" or (better) "yes, everything is going smoothly in all these areas and you should see some fruit from these projects before 2012" would quell my curiosity (for now) Big Smile If however, there is nothing new that can be shared at this time, then I can understand and respect that as well Wink

Thanks!

I was just told on another thread that they're actively working on a (much needed!) update of the Early Church Fathers (and we've been told earlier that the AYBD and the UBS Handbooks are in the works as well).

To your observations I just want to add the patching of resources is a nice step toward the improvement of resources. When typos are fixed then we don't have to download the whole book any more.

I must have missed that improvement...that is definitely good news.

We have allocated a percentage of the book processing team to "maintenance." They have a priority list and are just working through. Obviously, some books are much more complex than others, so fixes will appear to arrive sporadically, but we're plugging away at it constantly, and into the future.

Good to know...thanks as always for the update Bob. Just wanted to know that work is indeed continuing in all these areas [:)]
