[sword-devel] Problem understanding wiki

[Peter von Kaehne]

To create a working module for testing purposes there is no need to use the compression step.

The only further requyirement is to create a conf file. 

To do this copy any existing working one over and adjust the settings : name, path, module driver etc.
