@DanPritchettDan Pritchett Biggest collection @Logos has ever released, coming soon ...for free! 1st come 1st served. Can you guess what it is? 1 hour ago via TweetDeck
Everything Logos publishes? Well, one can hope -- they can even be audacious about it. [6]
books.logos.com ?
PBB? collection = all public domain books you care to convert
How do you get files from books.logos.com?
Lessee, if its the Biggest collection then it'll surpass some of those mega collections like the Calvin 500. so. I'm guessing its a compilation of all the community.logos.com forum posts.
Yuk, yuk ! [D] Thanks, I'll have another. [B]
Does it have to do with Vyrso?
You do need to read them online ... and there is a bit of a quality issue
Thousands are coming, but we're working on getting the store set up. It'll be a few more weeks.
Surprise Surprise
The SeminaryLibrary would be awesome, but the number of 3,000+ makes me think of HD Greek Manuscripts. Both are pretty cool.
The PBB database has already been announced as something that will be coming. But, if it is released for free, that would be so incredible that I would need to consider coveting a virtue. Looking forward to knowing more!

Given the timing, I suspect my Vyrso guess is correct. I'd much rather have it be resources for Logos 4 but ...
But the Vyrso guess doesn't fit the response to the Loeb guesses. He said "so close!" to both.
And that doesn't seem exactly "free", as well as the fact that I don't understand why they would have to throttle bandwidth for it.
If they're estimating throttling bandwidth, in a first come first serve basis... I'm estimating this is going to be something heavy... but I don't know what it is either.
I keep getting more details on this massive project, and I can tell you I am getting more and more excited about it all the time.
I spoke with the lead developer on the project today and let's just say he is "really" excited about it. It is starting to look really good. We have to be careful with this project, because we have already put a lot of time and money into it, and will keep putting even more time and money into it, and since we are giving it away for free... you do the math. [:^)]
There are some really cool things we can do with this collection. Some of them are already in the first pass, but depending on the interest level, how many people actually want this collection, and how important these enhancements are for our customers, we can keep making it even better.
Sometime in the next week or so we will post a Pre-Pub page for the collection, blog about it and start telling the world. Even though it is free, you will still need to jump on the Pre-Pub page and place a zero dollar order for it right away. When it is ready to ship it will be rolled out like many other Pre-Pub titles that have large order volume—in batches (first come first served), in order to not overtax our systems.
Once you have your place in line, you'll want to spread the word far and wide. Of course, you are under no obligation to do so, in fact there are no contests or hoops to jump through to get it at all. We don't even ask for tweets or Facebook posts in order to get in line. [:)] No strings attached at all. ...however, we'd love to see if the good news of such a substantial freebie could spread far and wide on blogs and social networking sites as much as possible. The more interest we see in the collection, the more we will be motivated to throw more time and money at making it better!
So, get some rest, I'm sure you are all subscribed to the blog email list right? You'll get an email when the announcement goes live on the blog.
Stay tuned!
[:D]
I am looking forward to this coming out. [:D]
Ok Dan you are on. I will start with my school www.ncu.edu.jm and www.andrews.edu/seminary. Lets see what happens from there.Oh yes, facebook, how can I forget.
Dan,
You do know how to build the tension. Now if it is all in Coptic, there will be a sudden surge of deflation on my part.

Would you like a pin? [:)]
If pre-pub was posted many hours before blog article, could be interesting to see how many orders are placed before and after blog article (especially by forum users that now know to watch newest pre-pubs (with baited breath) => http://www.logos.com/products/search?Status=Pre-Pub&start=&sort=newest&pageSize=15
Keep Smiling [:)]

Guess what just became my new homepage for the next week......
forum users that now know to watch newest pre-pubs (with baited breath)
[+o(] Please tell me there isn't a group of forum users out there that's been sucking on salmon eggs, earth worms, or some other kind of bait!!
To the rest, I recommend waiting with bated breath instead. [;)]
Would someone please be kind enough to send me some info at mhamrick113 at students DOT sbts DOT edu? Thanks.
Nothing against you personally or anyone else, but I'm getting tired of being the advertising agent (and I'm sure I'm by no means the main one). Would you guys PLEASE get a twitter account [It's free, Free, FREE, FREE !] and send a tweet to DanPritchett? He started this so let him bear the responsibility. If you have a real reason for not getting a twitter account and tweeting Dan, I'll consider it. gfsomsel in the realm of Gulliver's Yahoo(s).
Waiting; almost like Christmas again.
I don't understand why getting a twitter account is such a challenge for everyone. I got an account for our dog Pochi, wired it too his collar for Dan-tweets, and now he conveniently barks. Logos marketing is just so cool and Pochi loves it too!
Eventually I might get an account too.
I may be a "Geezer" pastor, but as I have told others, "I'm not dead yet!" I'll be interested to hear more about the upcomming collection. I have used Logos/Libronix since 2001. I went to seminary then (Concordia, St. Louis) and have been in my parish since June 2003.

Hi all,
I have been taking a sabbatical from the forums for a few weeks, when there was some major disagreements about certain things. I am glad to see things are back to normal.
Anyhow, a lot of congregations in my denomination have very restrictive rules on use of the internet, a lot of them only allow use of email and some of us have filters. I have approval for viewing my Bible study web sites for research and only visit maybe three other web sites unrelated to Bible study.
So as you have probably deduced, social networks are out of bounds for me. I have none. Sure, I could find a way to do so, but I made a commitment to my fellowship and would feel uncomfortable in doing so.
So that is my excuse for not having Twitter or Facebook and any others that might exist out there. I know it sounds silly, but this is how it is. I must admit though, curiosity is getting to me. I understand that many are starting to get frustrated at such requests and I ask that you please disregard this post if you are, I would rather go another couple of days and find out over time than to be an inconvenience. However, if anyone would want to send me the information I would appreciate it. rick68 at vqme net(not com).
Thank you.
On its way. I consider your commitment to your church restrictions to be different from simply not wanting to take the trouble.
Rick, check your e-mail.
I need to learn how to send e-mails faster....
social networks are out of bounds for me
I think some folks prefer to put as little personal info on the internet as possible out of privacy and security concerns.

I agree. Helping those who cannot access Twitter is no nuisance.
BTW, I'm really looking forward to this release.
