I'm sorry I didn't get to the message on sword-support sooner, but I'd 
really appreciate if all new modules were just sent to me.  I apologize 
for seeming like such a control-freak, but there are a lot of factors that 
go into a release that most people don't realize.  There are also a lot of 
standard practices that I'm trying to implement that people seem not to 
notice, but I will try to document them soon.

In general, if anyone wants to send us a new module, they can send it to
my email address or post it online and send me the URL.  Feel free to 
respond to sword-support messages with this information if I haven't seen 
or noticed it.  I also only want source documents (in vpl, imp, thml, or 
osis format) and will compile the module myself.  This protects us from 
the possibility that there are bugs in the module creation tools or the 
version of swordlib that they're built against which might affect the 
content.

I will rename this Bible as "RusVZh" and re-upload once I have compressed 
the text and fixed a couple little problems with the .conf file.
