[sword-devel] Hesychius

[Troy A. Griffitts]

We had a contributer on IRC, today, post this link:

http://el.wikisource.org/wiki/%CE%93%CE%BB%E1%BF%B6%CF%83%CF%83%CE%B1%CE%B9


It looks promising.

I know there is a way to download content in XML of a mediawiki site, 
but have no experience doing so.

Anyone want to take a shot at producing a SWORD Hesychius Lexicon, (or 
even just a text file from this link?


Thanks for everyone's input and help.

	-Troy.

That said, at least Schmidts edition is now public domain anyway and unless there are DMCA-restrictions everyone can copy it out of there anyway.  And outside of DMCA -alike legislation only the public domain-ness woudl appliy anyway.But IANAL etc.
