[sword-devel] Front end compatibility to aV11N (all frontends please)

[Nic Carter]

Hi guys,

I'm wondering what's happening with this OLD & MAIN repo idea?  When I get asked questions about av11n, I can answer and say that PocketSword supports it, but they can't actually download any av11n (specifically Apocrypha-containing) modules atm using the built-in InstallManager (and I don't really want to be pointing users to the EXPERIMENTAL repo!!!)...

Perhaps a compromise atm would be to have the modules available in ZIP form so that we could give users the direct URL to a specific ZIP file of the module they are after?

But, I can't wait for av11n modules to become available!  :)


Thanks, ybic
	nic...  :)

ps:  Is there something I can be doing to help make this happen?  I just submitted v1.3.2 of PocketSword to Apple & so have a little free time now.  :)
