After some 10,000 hours of work (drafting, plus any necessary computer support for the websites), the Open English Translation of the Bible (OET) is now fully drafted. It still contains some typos, probably some inaccuracies, and certainly a number of inconsistencies, but it's quite usable from https://Freely-Given.org/OBD/OET/. I was also able to purchase https://OET.Bible, so the design documents and other essays are there.
Meanwhile work progresses to Phase 3, which includes bringing earlier drafts up to the current formatting standard, as well as working on consistency of names and many Biblical terms, plus accuracy checking. We'd love to have more eyes on the draft text, and everything's done transparently in the open at https://GitHub.com/Freely-Given-org/OpenEnglishTranslation--OET. (There's also some specific opportunities mentioned there under Discussions as well as here.)
