[bt-devel] utf8transliterator

Hi!

If you want to compile with ICU please install ICU 2.1. It will give you a new 
Transliteration option for greek and hebrew texts.

You can commit your fixes with your read-write CVS account on SouurceForge.
Do you know how to commit fixes or should I post some more information?

I added you as a developer to the BibleTime project on SourceForge. You have 
CVS read-write access now.
What are these niggling aults you want to get rid of? I'd be glad to get some 
more information.
Feel free to fix bugs, compiler warnings and other smaller stuff.
Before you implement/add/change more complex things please post your idea on 
this list so we can discuss about it a bit and I can give you the OK.
In 99% I give the Ok :)


May God bless you richly!
