As I think I have already indicated, I have had numerous off-list responses
involving offers of assistance in the tasks involved in developing an
on-line version of Robert Funk's _A Beginning-Intermediate Grammar of
Hellenistic Greek_. All responses have been helpful. I must share with you
now that, following upon a late afternoon conference call with our esteemed
list-owner, Jonathan Robie and the co-list-owner of the Biblical-Languages
list, Patrick Durusau, who is also Director of Research and Development for
SBL (Society of Biblical Literature). Although details are yet to be worked
out (probably in early January), we've pretty much agreed that this will be
an SBL project, that production of an electronic text of the grammar (and
hopefully of the workbook as well) will be done professionally in such
fashion that the on-line text will be accessible on SBL's site--perhaps on
others as well--and that a PDF version will be available for download, and
also that SBL may offer a print-on-demand hard copy version for purchase.
There may be a cost involved in having the text professionally typed and
prepared for on-line publication and if that is so, we'll ask for voluntary
contributions from list-members of B-Greek and Biblical-Languages--but all
that depends upon developments in the offing, I'll not offer any more
comments on this matter until we know more, perhaps by the end of the first
week of January. My thanks again to all who have commented and offered to
help in one way or another, including, as I noted before, prayer for the
success of the project.
