Thanks to all the list members who commented on the <http://www.tanach.us> features that might be eliminated.

The only feature having no support was the random verses RSS feed. Unless someone argues otherwise, this feature will be removed in the next version.

Some members surprisingly did use materials in the <http://www.tanach.us/Tanach.xml#Supplements> directory. The Michigan-Claremont to Unicode coding converter contained in the directory, however, seems obsolete and will be eliminated in the next version, pending user comments.

Most list members do not value the Documentary Hypothesis (DH) feature. Indeed, one member characterized the entire site as being a DH site and not worth examining. DH materials are also subjective content in a site dedicated to objective representation of the Tanach. DH materials take up a lot of space and introduce quite a bit of complexity; thus, DH is a tempting feature for consolidation. However, my personal understanding is that the DH is a part of modern bible study and should be retained.

Thanks for your comments,
