But aren't those rewards worth it?

Blogging regularly is a tough business, and the only rewards are the friendships made, the occasional complementary book for review, and the learning experience one obtains through interacting with others.

So true. But aren’t those rewards worth it?

Even when you are not blogging you are thinking about blogging. And might I add I am looking forward to all of those topics. Blogging regularly is a tough business, and the only rewards are the friendships made, the occasional complementary book for review, and the learning experience one obtains through interacting with others. I have been really busy as well, but next week I start teaching again, and I am winding down on my research for this class and the upcoming lecture I will be giving next Saturday as well. I too hope to blog a bit more. Elshaddai,

I think that the initial impetus was more along the lines of having a site that collected a variety of information from around the web into a single resource. Not necessarily aimed at any one target audience, but just for those who are looking for information. I am hoping that there will be original posts on the REB blog as well, not just links and summaries. Obviously those would be REB focused. For myself, I will continue to talk about the REB on this blog as one translation among many, albeit one that I prefer. No set goals or promotions. I hesitate to use the phrase "fan site", but I'm not anticipating a commercial operation. Now, if Cambridge or Oxford want to talk... Regarding the NEB, yes, I'd anticipate that coverage of that translation would naturally be included. Good questions, Nathan.

Regarding the NEB, yes, I’d anticipate that coverage of that translation would naturally be included.

No need to reply to all of them, but just wondering what sorts of things you think you can accomplish, or what your target audience is. I think this translation is definitely worthy of whatever you have planned. Some things I’m wondering:

-Are you setting a goal that you want to achieve?

No need to reply to all of them, but just wondering what sorts of things you think you can accomplish, or what your target audience is. I think this translation is definitely worthy of whatever you have planned.

While I'd like to think that it's close to launch, it never hurts to make sure we're headed down the right path. If you'd prefer to ask privately, just shoot me an email and I'll be glad to continue the conversation that way too. Nathan – go ahead and ask.

Andrew was collecting information toward a similar goal, so we've pooled resources and hopefully the end result will be something worthwhile. @Nathan: Yes, given some of the recent interest in the REB and considering how little it seems to be known by today’s generation, I thought that it would be useful to have a spot to explore the translation further.
