Hi all,

I'm new to Bibledit.
My goal: Start a small community translation of a fresh Icelandic translation.
Reason: Our young adults struggle to understand our outdated current versions.

My key goals with the software are:
1. I'd like to have a small translation team that can collaborate on the translation online.
2. Invite another group of people to make remarks about the text online.

It seems Bibledit is good at this.

I need help with installing Bibledit on ramnode. I've bought access, but would appreciate help setting up the RamNode VM and Bibledit cloud.

I'm a sotware enginner, fairly technically savy, but I've never used RamNode or really used Linux.

Regards, Agust

Hi. I don't know Iceland language, 
but, perhaps, I can help with GNU/Linux, Emacs, (N)vim, Greek, and Hebrew... 
As an aside, when you install GNU/Linux, install Debian distro.
It will make things easier for you when managing packages...

Hi Ágúst,

I am happy to see you starting this project. I could add your project to my existing Bibledit-cloud instance if you like. Or for more control, you can use your RamNode VM. The setup instructions at https://bibledit.org:8091/help/installcloudpackages assume shell (SSH) access. For general Linux installation instructions, there is lots of help online.

Please see https://mljohnson.org/2019/01/how-to-translate-the-holy-bible/ for some additional helpful clues.

Michael,

Joining your cloud would be helpful. This project will start small and slow. I guess I can always move to a dedicated server if the need arises.
I don't expect to need much control at the beginning. 
I do know that as I (and hopefully a small team) translate, we will want to keep track of translation notes and commentary notes. Those are the two key needs I know of now. Other needs may come up as we progress. Hopefully Bibledit will tackle things well.

The name may change, but let's call this The 316 Bible for now.
Icelandic: 316 Biblían

I have an evangelism website on 316.is which brand I may link to this project.

I'm studying the link you sent. This is helpful, thank you.

Are there any questions you have for me?

Grace, Agust
