Ingo,

	Thank you!!!  I'm excited to see your module.  Chris Little is our 
module-'master' and will hopefully have time to add it to the CrossWire 
library very soon.  It would make it much easier for us if you could 
provide the detailed copyright information in English to us, so we know 
the legalities of distributing the modules from our site.  It's very 
much a blessing when people of a native tongue work on their Bible 
modules themselves.  These are very hard for us to do and test, as we 
cannot thoroughly validate a module in a tongue foreign to us easily.

My apologies for no one responding to you.

Well, the answer is yes and no.  We have an OSIS importer called 
osis2mod.  It has only been used for 2 Bibles, to my knowledge, and does 
not cover the specification very thoroughly.  We're hoping to update it 
very soon to the OSIS 2.0 specification which was just released.  If I 
have time in the near future, I will make an effort to download your 
text, be sure it validates against the 2.0 specifications, and then try 
to get our importer to handle the markup that you have chosen.  If you 
would like to be sure your document validates, the spec is at:

http://www.bibletechnologies.net/osisCore.2.0.xsd

and I would recommend Sun's Multi Schema Validator (MSV) Java app for a 
simple command line validation with something like:

java -jar msv.jar ./osisCore.xsd ./pbg_osis.xml

Sure!  We would like to make our website localized like the nice work at 
bibletime.info.  We would love to have you as a translator once we have 
it working!

We're working on it! :)

Thank you for your great work to the Polish community for our Lord! 
Looking forward to serving together with you!
