Is anything like this being discussed?
I'm not sure if the demand for an Eastern Orthodox package is there, but I might be interested in Eastern Orthodox resources. What sort of Eastern Orthodox resources did you have in mind?
I would like the Patriarchal Orthodox Greek Text in Logos, for one.
I think its too early in the cycle for an Orthodox (Byzantine) package to be under consideration. If the partnership with St. Vladimir's goes smoothly (first product under development), then some of the other Orthodox Presses might be inclined to partner with Logos as well. Add the completion of the 2 or 3 Bibles currently being translated and the basis for such a package would be in place.
PATr needs to be in Logos, hands down. It's the authoritative Greek New Testament for Byzantine Christians, and the electronic edition is already tagged with morphology and available on Kindle but needs to be in Logos so I can use it with my other resources.
Many Patristic resources are already in Logos but could be bundled into this package. I suspect more will rapidly be translated and become available as more and more Protestants seem to be taking an interest in the Fathers (and will thus create a market for them). The Chrysostom bible commentary series from OCABS would be an essential (in fact lots from OCABS would be good). Getting the IVP ACCS commentary to become available again would also be good (I know it can be bought from IVP separately, but not through the Logos store).
The popular Patristics series from SVS will be good (I believe I pre-ordered it). Also many would probably want the OSB (but I could take it or leave it). Some additional resources that would be essential are:
This would be a substantial Eastern Orthodox library.
For those of you who haven't yet found out, there is now an Orthodox suggestion at Logos' new Uservoice site for prepubs: Add more Orthodox works, and also one for Patristics: Add more Patristic works. Please go add your votes. And then add the remainder of your votes to other suggestions -- preferably mine.
(There is also a new Uservoice site for CP's, with another ten new votes for you to spend: http://communitypricing.uservoice.com/forums/183260-general/filters/top.)
Logos has now hired a product manager for Orthodox (and Lutheran and Reformed) resources, Gabe Martini:

So look forward to the above and more needs being addressed in the hopefully near future.

Great suggestions. Thank you! [:)]
Works by (...) Florovsky
Collected Works of Fr. Georges Florovsky, Part 1 (4 vols.) (and it's on CP, not prepub!)

Not only does that link not seem to work but I get the message that Logos doesn't sell this. I'm not sure what is going on.
I think its too early in the cycle for an Orthodox (Byzantine) package to be under consideration.
It took two years from the manager being hired till Verbum came out. Shall we give the new added managers equal time?
We Orthodox tend to move slow, but I'll try not to be that slow.
Keep supporting Orthodox Logos resources, and everything will work out. [;)]
You guys are killing me (financially) with all these works, most of which I have in print or have had at least.
I just ordered the Patriarchal New Testament which I have in print. Sigh, I couldn't resist, but I'm not telling my wife I ordered it. eeeeh.
