[sword-devel] heads up - languages/repo frontend problem

[Greg Hellings]

The issue is the top layer of the repository view, which is just languages.
Underneath those will be nested the works themselves to arbitrary size.
Allocating eight thousand will be sufficient unless a large number of extra
languages (a la Klingon, Esperanto, etc) are added. But handling it
dynamically, as Karl plans, is the proper long term method.
