[sword-devel] Versifications

[David Haslam]

Everyone - please understand that CrossWire does not maintain the source text files for any SWORD modules apart from the flagship KJV and KJVA modules.

All other module updates depend on someone starting again from the most recent source text files provided by third parties.

This is why there are no module source files held in CrossWire SVN or in any other revision controlled repository.

As noted, the sole exceptions are the KJV/KJVA modules, for which the source text is maintained in OSIS format as two separate XML files.

Best regards,

David

>>> This is very frustrating but also in the nature of the project - many of us are quite technical in their mindset and only respond if they have something actually to contribute. The subject under discussion in particular is one where few or none of us have much clue. Which was one of the points of my post.

>>> Fair point - but as I said in my email - I had not taken on this responsibility and no one else had on either, we need either another person with the combination of skills of Chris to take this matter forward - or, more likely, we need a process by which we can as a group confirm that a new versification is needed and the proposed one is the right solution.

>> The point I was making is - there is a serious gap in our current setup and we have no decent way of moving forward. I would want us to move forward as would everyone else. I am really hoping for some proposals to solve the impasse.
