Hello Ray,
Your edition management and pdf conversion ideas are interesting, but should probably be deferred until after we have accomodated translations and annotations.
Of course, the two-pane layout and annotations are the most important. The pdf conversion can wait, yes. But I think the edition management is essential; at least, the possibility of two translations to coexist is essential, as one cannot imagine that all the translators agree on a specific translation.
All we need is for some developer to be sufficiently inspired by the idea. Until then we just need to be patient, and limit ourselves to the occasional friendly reminder to make sure that the idea does not get forgotten.
OK, thanks! It's much more comforting not to wait alone :-)
Have a nice Christmas, Viktor.
