[sword-devel] 1.5.6 todo

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Rob,
	The ESV module data has been given to us by the WWBS for their NCV/ESV 
project.  WWBS owns the rights to the NCV and has granted CrossWire 
permission to distribute the NCV freely from our website.  WWBS DOES NOT 
own the rights to the ESV, so this means we have to be careful not to 
publicly distribute this Bible until we get some kind of permission from 
the publisher.  Chris Little has done a great job converting the data 
provided to us to an OSIS 1.1.1 document.  After last week's meetings, 
this and many OSIS documents are not valid against the coming OSIS 1.5 
spec. :)  I'm sure Chris would be willing, when he has the time, to 
update the module.  There is a new utility in CVS osis2mod, which 
operates to a limitted degree against the OSIS source that Chris 
produced.  We could do a better job, but I would like us to support what 
markup it does capture.  This is important before the WWBS release.

	I actually just received an email that states they will be in Chicago 
until June 5, so we might have a few extra days.

	All this to say:  If you would like to help, the next needed thing 
would be to obtain permission from the ESV copyright holder to 
distribute the ESV by CrossWire.  If you would like to investigate 
contact information so we might write them a letter, this would be very 
helpful.

	Thank you for your willingness to help.

		-Troy.
