[sword-devel] Beginning help question - Calvin's Commentaries

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Dave,
	Yeah, I also had troubles with sf today.  I think they're just having 
server problems (or else they changed their wiki url structure).

	It could just be that mod2imp doesn't yet correctly handle exporting of 
linked verses.  That's a very probable conclusion, so I wouldn't worry 
about it, if I were you.  Now _I_ have to worry about it. :)

	Thanks for taking all this time to work on such a large piece of work! 
  I'm sure Chris can let you know where he'd like the module (emailed, 
or a link to it posted somewhere).  He can place it in the beta site for 
you.

	-Troy.
