FAQ
How long will the project take to complete once funded?
The funding will take 1-2 months to come through GoFundMe, and each phase will likewise take between 2-3 months. That means that once a phase is funded, it should take 3-5 months to see that phase completed. Once all remaining phases are funded, it should take no more than 10 months to have the project complete and powering Bible apps throughout the world.
What about providing Hebrew and Greek grammars in end-user languages?
That’s a great idea! However, it is presently beyond the scope of this project. But, given the open-source nature of Bible Tags, others are welcome to build upon our work in this way. One idea would be to provide Hebrew and Greek grammars from unfoldingWord in the “gateway languages” within the apps.
