It will be the same as the current system, with indexing files.  The 
module formats are not changing, but the markup used inside them is.

The xml2gbs utility in CVS and on the FTP site is an example utility for 
converting OSIS documents into Sword modules.  SummaTheologica and Philo 
are a pair of modules in the Beta area that used this converter with the 
OSIS documents that you may find at 
http://www.bibletechnologieswg.org/osis/docs/ .
