Would there be room for a project to collaborate on creating some Greek and Hebrew dictionaries under some form of Creative Commons license, perhaps starting from Strongs and updating with more recent scholarship, to provide freely-distributable content that works with SWORD and can be translated freely into other languages? I know that's a bit far away from papyri and such, but it could serve the global church.
