The current World English Bible status is:

Genesis - Ruth, Esther - Song of Solomon, Hosea - Malachi, and the New Testament are essentially done, give or take possible responses to typo reports, comments from readers that are deemed to have merit, and edits that might arise out of the close checking involved in audio recording.

The current primary editing focus is on Isaiah.

The World English Bible companion Apocrypha is also being worked on in parallel, although it is at an earlier stage of development.

Tobit, Judith, Greek Additions to Esther, Wisdom of Solomon, Wisdom of Jesus the son of SIRACH (Ecclesiasticus), Baruch, Letter of Jeremiah, 1 Esdras, and 2 Esdras are in the automated first draft stage, based on the Revised Version Apocrypha.

3 Maccabees and 4 Maccabees are in the automated first draft stage, based on the Brenton Septuagint.

Prayer of Azariah, Susanna, Bel and the Dragon, 1 Maccabees, 2 Maccabees, and Prayer of Manassas are currently filled with place-holder texts that are copies of the LXX2012, which is an automated update of the Brenton Septuagint. They will be replaced with RV-based texts as typing from paper editions continues, and before any manual editing.

Psalm 151 is essentially done, give or take responses to comments and the outcome of the debate on "supernumerary".

The World English Bible companion Glossary has now been integrated into the WEB and WEBBE new HTML format.

Although WorldEnglishBible.org has long been an alias for eBible.org, the two web sites are starting to move in different directions. WorldEnglishBible.org will focus primarily on the World English Bible, including the British Edition and the Messianic Edition. Although the World English Bible will continue to have a place of honor at eBible.org, the site itself will expand to include hundreds of other Bible translations, with an emphasis on freely distributable Bible translations in minority languages and selected translations freely distributable translations in majority languages.
