[Savannah-help-public] [sr #106489] Removing text that has been posted

Follow-up Comment #2, sr #106489 (project administration):

Hi,

Thank you for resolving the item, and hiding the information from public
view.

The issue is that the link refers to a site that is used by bible
translators. If this link is seen coming from from Bibledit, an editor for the
Bible, then a country's Security Services can understand from there that that
site will be about bible translation too. 

There are certain areas in the world where having a bible, or translating one
is a capital offense or at least a criminal offense. If the security service
of such countries track the internet usage of foreigners, or if their seized
computers are found with links to that site, then they just google for the
name of the site, and find links to this site and then deduct that the
foreigner under surveillance is related in forbidden activities.

Unknowingly I had placed the link on the issue tracker, and yesterday got a
request from a Bible translation agency in the USA to remove that link.

Regards,

Teus.
