[sword-devel] Quick'n'dirty ESV module available!

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Peter,
	Thank you for your ambition!  I'm excited that you were persistent to 
learn how to make SWORD modules.  We could use more help in that area!

	Concerning the ESV.  We have a good relationship with Crossway and have 
signed a contract allowing us to distribute the ESV worldwide for our 
software (not a small challenge when another organization manages the 
rights to distribute the ESV in the UK and the rest of Europe).

	The module is completed with footnotes and cross-references.  You can 
try it out on our web software, as DM Smith has pointed out, at:

	http://crosswire.org/study/passagestudy.jsp?mod=ESV

	It should be available sometime in the next couple weeks.

	Please don't distribute your module, as it would first, be illegal, and 
second, possibly hinder our relationship with Crossway.

	We need to do a better job communicating what is in the works, and this 
is solely my fault.  I hope to work on that this summer.

	I look forward to any future contributions you might be able to make 
with module creation, or fixing our unhelpful error messages!

	In Him,
		-Troy.
