Biblical Studies Online Repository (again) ::
In a comment on a post by Stephen C. that was encouraging about the timeliness of an online Biblical Studies peer-reviewed post-print repository AKMA suggests the Disseminary as the site for the repository.

It would also help to ensure that the repository did not risk the sort of creeping commercialism that (the other) Stephen feared in a comment on my post.
However, I still suspect that creating a repository with a high enough proportion of the available material would be easier if an Academic Society with the standing of SBL was the sponsor of the project... ¶ 12:07 PM
