[»] Capitalization...
by Christian - Nov 8th 2000 12:09:08

Look at the hit count... seems to be as much interrest in this project as some of the secular works reported on this site. I have to agree with previous posts. It is good to have a wide range of projects available for Linux. (Not the capitalization... we have always capitalized proper nouns... such as God, and Word (meaning specifically the scriptures))

Well, I have to admit that I'm glad that Freshmeat isn't afraid to list Christian applications like this! Linux is all about openness, after all.... :)
