[sword-devel] Module upload: BlaMat

[Kahunapule Michael Johnson]

Aloha!

A Blackfoot Matthew module is in the eBible.org repository as bla1890eb, sourced from Jon Bitgood's digitization. (Duplication of Public Domain texts doesn't bother me, by the way, but it might be worth checking before working on a module if duplicated effort might bother you.)

I am trying to figure out what is going on with the eBible.org repository, right now. It looks like it is visible via ftp, http, and https, but refreshes on some front ends come up empty. Investigating...
