[sword-devel] CMS volunteers required

[Chris Burrell]

Thanks Greg. Good idea! I've added that to our task tracker.

I agree on the last step, but often the people using the plugins in CMSs
want something that works out of the box. So it would be nice to provide
these too. And in order to do so, I'd be keen to hear from people what
functionality they would want in such a plugin/interface/library.

Chris
