[sword-devel] R/w CVS

Hello Victor,

I am not sure if I really understood what exactly you want to do, and which 
purpose you have with it. Could you explain more detailed? It seems that you 
have a long-reaching vision for your project, but I am not sure what the 
theory is that you follow. 
Afaik -- also judging from our chat in #sword-devel -- you reject the 
masoretic vowels and want to introduce other vowel patterns to the consonant 
text, in order to create new texts and to receive prophecies through the new 
texts?

You should probably formulate this a little different, since you are not an 
admin of either project. Speaking for BibleTime now, I am very careful about 
your plans. Since you are not an active developer up to now and for quite a 
while more, plus I am not sure about your plans, you no longer have r/w cvs 
access, and I want you to submit patches first. 
It would be nice if you could change your attitude a little. These are not 
your projects, and you should ask kindly and explain more instead of 
demanding and criticising. Nobody will keep you from starting own projects, 
but if you want to contribte to existing projects you will have to adhere to 
the rules. That does not mean you are not welcome! But you should be careful 
as to how you act.
