I'm happy to post some examples.
We have tutorials at:
http://www.crosswire.org/wiki/index.php/OSIS_Bibles
and
http://www.crosswire.org/wiki/index.php/OSIS_Commentaries
And some very poor documentation (my apologies) at:
http://www.crosswire.org/wiki/index.php/TEI_Dictionaries
As I presume you've read all of these, if you need further information,
I need you to tell me WHAT you need.
If the answer is "all of it" as your statement suggests to me, then that
represents quite a lot of work digging through source code, testing
frontends, etc. (the stuff I recommended others could help by doing). I
don't know all of this information off the top of my head. I didn't
write all of the filters and I seldom do any frontend work, and that is
on BibleCS only. So maybe your estimation of my abilities is exaggerated.
