Re: [be] Is collaboration possible with a Paratext user?

[Teus Benschop]

Hi,

There is an option for your consultant to post questions, ask/give 
feedback, and see the changes made in the text in Bibledit-Gtk.

The solution below leaves Paratext out of the equation, and uses 
Bibledit components only.

Besides Bibledit-Gtk there is also Bibledit-Web. Bibledit-Web needs to 
be installed on a server on the internet, and your consultant can 
interact with your team through the web browser.

See:
bibledit.org
http://bibleconsultants.dyndns.org/bibledit-web-demo/

"our consultant would like to be able to work remotely on occasion with 
our project": The consultant can use Bibledit-Web through the Internet 
and a web browser.

"Is there an easy way to have collaboration between the two programs?": 
Yes, there is: To use Send/Receive in Bibledit-Gtk and Bibledit-Web and 
so keep the Bible text in sync between the two.

"He would like to be able to post recommendations, ask questions about 
text": The consultant can use the Consultation Notes feature of 
Bibledit-Web:
http://bibleconsultants.dyndns.org/bibledit-web-demo/consultations/notes.php

"and see any changes we've made based on his input": The consultant can 
either look online to see the daily changes on e.g. 
http://bibleconsultants.dyndns.org/bibledit-web-demo/members/index.php, 
or subscribe to emails with the daily changes through the Notifications 
feature 
(http://bibleconsultants.dyndns.org/bibledit-web-demo/user/notifications.php).

Teus.
