[sword-devel] new project proposal

[Martin Gruner]

Hello Fabrizio,

your project sounds really exciting. I am not the boss of crosswire, but 
currently I don't see why your project should not be acceptable. Why do you 
want to collaborate with crosswire? Do you want to base your software on 
Sword?
Troy would have to speak the final word, and he is the one who can give you a 
SVN repository / webspace etc.

Martin

P.S. We use mysql a lot at work, for high-load applications, and it works just 
great.
