The project being a revision of the existing CIMR-NT has been ongoing for nearly 25 years is now reaching a very mature stage, thanks to the passion and persevering spirit of Father Damien Marinus, who now in his 80s has served on the island for half a century. Dr. Nigel Statham who has finished all the consultant checking, Dr. Simon Wong picked up the remaining work on Paratext consistency checking. Simon was completely overwhelmed by the contribution of Fr. Damien on working so attentively for very long hours during their checking sessions.
