, 12:06, April 9, 2017→AugustO: my view of the CBP: new section
5. I still believe that it is time to pull the plug on the CBP. I see no evidence that things are going to change in terms of the design of the project (including quality control measures), the naming of the project or the type of editors who are editing it.

== AugustO: my view of the CBP ==
I think that a crowd-sourced ("best of the public") approach to translating the Bible could work, '''if''':
*the environment was well-thought-out
*at least a dozen of interested laywomen and laymen took part
*there was conflict resolution process
At the moment, we have
*a very clumsy make-up, the CBP is not even in its own namespace
*Andrew Schlafly "translating" and "retranslating" the Bible, me checking these "translations" (but only if they are from the Greek, not from the Hebrew)
*Andrew Schlafly making all decisions. If a conflict is not resolved to his satisfaction, he may ignore the problem for a couple of month, then bring up the same arguments again - perhaps hoping that his adversaries were blocked in the meantime (or just forgetful).
Andrew Schlafly's "translation" mainly consist from reformulating existing Bible translations by crowbarring his insights into them: the result is a text which shows what God should have taught according to Andrew Schlafly. I suppose the idea is to end discussions in other fields by being able to state "but it is what the Bible<sup>© Schlafly</sup> says" ....
