[sword-devel] Can modules be made? (was Re: How to?)

[Tim Meneely]

Greetings,

I'm also a newbie, interested in contributing.  I'd like to make some modules 
for my personal use, and I've been trying to figure out the system.  

First I read the module making guide at 
http://www.crosswire.org/sword/develop/swordmodule/index.jsp.  After failing 
in several more ambitious attempts, I took the existing RSV and converted it 
to OSIS, and then tried to convert that OSIS back into a working module 
without success.  The message below indicates I shouldn't go that way...

So: Is there a way to make modules right now?  If not, can I help get tools 
working?  Is there an overall status description somewhere that tells me what 
is underway and what needs to be done?

I'm having trouble getting started.

Thanks!
