[sword-devel] WEB update request

[Adrian Korten]

Good day,

My personal opinions only. OSIS sounds like a good thing but still seems 
aimed at the future. The Windows software has some support for it but is 
not complete and involves a performance decrease. At the moment, 
progress on new development has stalled. Keeping up support for 'gbf' 
formatting seems wise until the OSIS format is proven.

Second best might be to write an automated converter to change the OSIS files I produce to "conforming" OSIS. If you can't do that, then you prove my point about the OSIS standard being defective.
