[sword-devel] Versifications

[David Haslam]

There's an important distinction between not maintaining a revision controlled source text and having copies of a source text to process at a particular point in time.

There's also a difference between what gets officially stored on the CrossWire server and what gets stored unofficially by any CrossWire volunteer on his/her own computer.

When a volunteer like me converts USFM to OSIS on our own PC,  they can decide whether the OSIS thus produced is good enough to make a SWORD module.

There are projects where this is not the case, and where (e.g.) the CrossWire script to fix references isn't up to the quality requirements.

In such cases, one might decide to process the OSIS locally by other means and submit that for the purpose of module release.

A lot of text development activity goes on day by day before stuff ever surfaces to the CrossWire modules team.

Some of this activity is collaborative, but it's up to the individual volunteers rather than what CrossWire does as a Bible Society.

Best regards,

David
