[sword-devel] iPhone developers?

Sun Apr 19 21:37:16 MST 2009

Ian,
I downloaded the latest PocketSword source code and have a couple of
questions/comments.
1) Are you using subversion or cvs? If not you really should consider it as
this will encourage volunteers and increases transparency. I am pretty sure
Troy wouldn't mind hosting this at the crosswire.org website. This is what
we did for SwordReader. This also helps in the event you move on to bigger
and better things because the source is easily accessible at the official
sword site.
2) I noticed you are packaging the sword source code as well as cluence. I
would suggest not doing this but encouraging devs to grab either the latest
or some named version from their respective sources.
