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

[Kurt Andrews]

I'll cast my vote for some kind of secured Wiki access.  The last  
time I asked about one I think I heard that there was one in the past  
that presented some security problems.  I don't know all the details  
so I can't make any specific suggestions to fix what ever was wrong,  
but a wiki sure would be nice for documenting and knowledge  
transfer.   We use one at work that provides a lot of benefit for the  
architects and engineers developing software.

Oh and just so I stay on topic... I'm chomping at the bit to get my  
hands on the ESV module.  This is all good news (hmm a pun this late  
in the evening.  will wonders never cease)

Good Night and God Bless
