Though no longer active, this was "the only site online that brings together the Scriptures from Judaism, Christianity, and Islam." NRSV (including Apocrapha) & the new Standard English Version (SEV) of the Quran.
When contacted, Zaine Ridling, wrote (7/18/07), "Given my full plate, I could no longer devote time to it, and will likely not finish the Quran translation for many years. However, I will soon offer a ZIP download of the files intact via link under the "Hebrew Bible" at the 'Access the Great Books' site: http://www.anova.org/ . I'm also working on an ODF copy of it, since Microsoft's formats are proprietary." Thanks, Zaine! This is a worthy endeavor!
  

A Non-Ecclesiastical New Testament
(now a .pdf file)
"Suppose that when reading the New Testament, one were to discover that Jesus' intent in coming here was to abolish religious systems of worship that were almost identical to what we have today. A new translation would certainly be required." This is Frank Daniels' attempt to do just that, shedding the so-called "ecclesiastical paradigm" of other translations.
