[sword-devel] iPhone developers?

I am going to start using SVN over the summer. The reason I do not use  
it right now is because I am at college and my school blocks almost  
every non-HTTP port in the book so it would be a pain to work with  
right now. If crosswire would be able to host it that would be great.

Yes, I am packaging SWORD and clucene with it for now. This is because  
neither of these will compile out of the box for the iPhone so I had  
to change a few things to get it to work so it is much easier to just  
distribute my modified version with the package. I still haven't been  
able to get a few parts of the library to compile at all, but they are  
non-essential, namely the install and ftp managers. I wrote my own  
module downloader/installer using iPhone native API calls. I also  
decided to do it using the HTTP mirror instead of FTP because of the  
previously mentioned college situation. Using FTP would make it  
impossible for thousands of users in similar situations to use the  
module downloader.
