The Sword Project has a page devoted to getting users involved in making
the locked modules available, even if for a fee.  I have attempted in
the past to establish an e-mail campaign.  I think we should still do
so.  I know some will have negative attitudes, but one or two letters
won't do the trick - we need everyone to get involved.  You should note
that the NASB will soon be made available for a fairly nominal fee (@ US
$20).  I am not certain what other translations need to be addressed.
