Since this article was first published in December 2009, only a few months after we began our work, I’d like to add the Open Siddur Project to this list.

We began with the vision of building a digital archive of liturgy and prayer and ritual praxis, and an application where anyone could generate their own printable siddur online. Well, the latter part of this vision was too ambitious to manifest in the world as quickly as I’d hoped, but we’ve been ten years at work on the former. I hope that NHC folk may find our archive of prayer (historic and contemporary, familiar and obscure) to be useful for them. All material shared in the archive (that is not already in the Public Domain) is shared under Creative Commons Attribution or Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike licensing by the copyright owners (translators, liturgists, etc.).
