Most of those pages were created before alternative versification was a
reality in SWORD.  Feel free to update them to reflect SWORD 1.6.0
versification capabilities as needed.

That's exactly why I pointed it out to you :)

OK.  I'm not sure svn is generally likely to be a huge learning problem,
but if for you it really is a significant barrier, you can avoid it!

I have a little script set up on the crosswire.org server that
automatically creates daily source tarballs if there is a change to svn,
and makes the latest one available at

  http://crosswire.org/~jmarsden/sword/daily/sword-latest.tar.gz

So you could get recent (within 24 hours of "current") SWORD sources
that way if you prefer. (Earlier svn revisions are downloadable as

  http://crosswire.org/~jmarsden/sword/daily/sword-r2476.tar.gz

back as far as r2457, which is when I scripted this.  At some point I'll
delete the older tarballs, obviously.  I should probably write another
little script that deletes all but the last 20 tarballs there, or
something like that -- but so far there are not that many, and the
server has plenty of disk space anyway :)

Whatever lets you get your work done is 100% fine :)  Earlier, you
suggested that a list of info about which verses are in each SWORD
versifcation would be helpful to you.  All I was saying is that such a
list does, in effect, already exist, in the form of a set of canon_*.h
files.  Use them if they help you.  Ignore them if not :)
