[sword-devel] NASB

[Matt Zabojnik]

Thanks for the info!

Would you mind explaining in different terms your reason for aborting the
project? I didn't fully understand. Delivering to Lockman wasn't going to
work for some reason?

I haven't yet started working on this module, but the intent will be mass
distribution rather than personal use only.

Is it common for people to convert stuff for personal use? And how
important is it to declare where I obtained a source text for public domain
materials? I didn't see coverage on either of those in the wiki.

Eons ago, Crosswire received permission from Lockman to begin work on an
NSAB module that they could commercially deliver to users who paid for it.

Many people have tackled the work of performing the conversions from
Lockman's internal, proprietary markup to a Sword module. Each one has, for
various reasons, abandoned the work. Most recently it was me, and I gave up
due to a lack of a consistent or realistic objective for delivery of the
results to Lockman.

You can, essentially, assume that nothing more will ever come of it from
the official channel. You'd be best to pursue converting another digital
source for your own personal use.

What's the status on the NASB module? I saw it mentioned in the dictionary
message. This is the first I've heard of it, being new to sword devel.

I'm currently working to convert NASB with strongs, footnotes and
references, but I need to learn OSIS and RegEx better first.

Who here is the point-man on tyre work that's already been done there?
