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

[David Fredin]

> While I can not say much about the further OSIS conversion steps, I think you want to be cautious and very careful how you approach the Swedish Bible society. It is easy to upset people over copyrights and it takes years to recover from that.
Thanks for the warning, I will try to get them interested by showing
how the software works. I happen to live in the same city as the HQ
for the Swedish Bible society.

> Dealing with similar situations I found most helpful having a ready text available, but also - and sometimes more improtantly having a translated front-end(s). Also have a look at GoBible (for J2MEE Mobile phones) - once you got your OSIS source ready this is an easy thing too and often gets people quite excited.
That sounds really good too. Though I would really like to show it off
on my iPhone, but there are no sword clients there yet?
