This month we have made progress on all the fronts we have open in milestone I and milestone II. The team of collaborators has not stopped growing and we are getting very positive reactions to the content that already exists . We can’t wait to see what reactions there will be among readers of The Urantia Book when all the first milestones are completed. Let’s take a closer look at what the month has produced on Urantiapedia:
- Work is underway on the image catalog to illustrate The Urantia Book. A few more images have been added this month. We are also testing various types of AI imaging software. For this we have used two applications at the moment: Night Café and Jasper AI. In paper 43 we have a couple of examples of these images. Can you say which of them have not been created by an artist?
- Added vector covers in English to each book of the Bible on its cover page. For example, take a look at the book of Genesis. Vector covers have the advantage that they are much faster to translate into other languages. Next month we will extend these covers to all books and in all languages.
- Reviews have continued to be added to some topics in English and Spanish. Perhaps the most prominent one reviewed this month is Urantia. A good number of terms beginning in English with H have also been updated.
- We have added the Spanish translation of the last book that was added, The Doctrine of God. It is available here: La Doctrina de Dios, by Albert C. Knudson.
- The covers of the “source” books have also been vectorized. As you can see, the covers will follow some homogeneous colors that serve to identify the type of book in question:
- With these initial books we have paved the way for an application that automates loading many books at once. Development of this application will begin in the coming months.
- All English study aids have been added. You can see them in Study aids. This allows us to place a task completion mark for a language.
- In the coming months, we are going to develop an application that will connect to automatic translators based on Google Cloud (Cloud Translation) so that all study aids can be translated into all languages, and even serve extensibly for all Urantiapedia content. For those study aids that have already received a translation, the existing translations will be used.
On our Youtube channel we continue to upload new content every month, especially aimed at explaining to possible collaborators how to work on the project.

Urantiapedia is an exciting project that is making us all learn a lot. You have information on the page itself about its planning and the long number of tasks currently open.
