Some time ago, I posted several entries about trying to keep up with the NT Greek that I studied back in college. I haven’t done a very good job of that over the past few months. Today, I saw on Zack Hubert’s blog that he is closing down the site that I have used for a long time to practice my translation skills. Well, actually, he is transitioning the site.

Some time ago, he started to redesign the site under a new development platform, but he had to put that project off to the side. Now, he is on staff at Mars Hill Church. The Church is sponsoring a redevelopment of the project under the Re:Greek name. Check it out at ReGreek.com. The site has a great look, and a graceful interface that allows you to see the original text, along with declensions and conjugations, of the entire Greek New Testament. You can also set up parallel translations with the NASB, ESV, or KJV.

For anyone who is a web developer, they are developing the new site under Ruby on Rails. They are planning to set it up as an open source community. The source code will be available, and developers will be able to submit patches and enhancements to develop the site.

I hope that it is not long before they have user accounts and users can create their own translations.
