[sword-devel] New OSIS chapter/verse checking utility

[David Fredin]

Interested in sharing the source for that conversion of html-bibles?

I am working on a conversion of the Swedish Bible 2000 (not a version
number but the year it was released :-) ). And so far I have
downloaded every chapter of the Bible as separate html-files, imported
them into a sqlite-db with minimal html-markup (done with python + the
BeautifulSoup-parser). So I suppose the last step to OSIS shouldn't be
too hard. But any hints or pieces of advice is very welcome.

The hardest part I suppose is to then talk the Swedish biblecommission
into releasing it into the wild under an Creative Commons license, or
such...

All the best!
