Ahh. May I propose to change "SWORD Module add-ins" on 
http://crosswire.org/sword/develop/swordmodule/index.jsp to "Creating a 
SWORD Module"?

It will make it a lot easier to find I guess.

Could you (or someone else) add crumbtails to the site? Now that I was 
pointed to a page I had some trouble finding out how I should get there 
from the start. Such a thing should propably be generated from the 
content management system. (I do hope you use some sort of CMS.)

Along with the actual page name in the <title> this would make it much 
easier to navigate.

If you need a hand I can try to help you out on the website. t see if I 
can scratch some itches.

Hugo.
