[sword-devel] Per Module V11N (Was Re: Bible book introductions)

[Костя Маслюк]

Thank you for renaming this thread.

My post was *primarily* about *getting* this feature *status*. Because if
we ever have it we need not Scope.

Simply when gatekeepers keep silent i don't know should i to persuade them
or my self :^)

And i agree with Nic, many good features i made have started from long idle
period and feeling that i do not like this...


Multiple module v11ns is just a new idea for me, about what i only started
to thinking, of course it require to change module format. Positive moment
here is that you have one data of different markup, user needs to download
one module instead of two.

I would agree that it is not worth to realize as for now,  but i think that
creativity is inexplicable thing and even bad idea could push on to good.

Blessings.
