I'm not sure I agree. Oh, an on-line version of the UBS text would
be nice, and the apparatus nicer still -- but I actually already
*have* the UBS text in electronic form (Zondervan sells it). And
if I need to consult the apparatus, I have both UBS3 and UBS4.
What's more, the text is readily and inexpensively available for
those who need it.

But how about a collation of, say, 6, or 33, or 424, or 1175, or
1739? The only one of those that's available at my local seminary
library is 1739 -- and even that has some defects.

So I would argue that the ENTMP should start by making collations
available, not commonly-available editions.

My own humble opinion, of course. :-)
