[sword-devel] Malayalam module

[Baiju M]

(Replying to an old thread)

I found the scanned copy of first edition of Sathyavedapusthakam
(Malayalam Bible used today) published in 1910 here:
http://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/100116969

There is a copy here also:
https://archive.org/details/Sathyavedapusthakam_1910

This clarifies any questions about copyright status of the text.

The unicode text that we have now has lot of spelling mistakes and
punctuation errors. So, I am working on proofreading the text. It will
take a long time to complete the proofreading of the entire bible. So,
can I create SWORD modules for the books that I complete part by part.
What is the minimum books required? Should I wait till I complete the
new testament to start the process ?

Regards,
Baiju M
