[sword-devel] Wiki writers - attention

[Tom Sullivan]

Y'all:

If I may comment on the Wiki and documentation in general:

I was invited to this list by DM Smith due to questions as a Sword and 
front-end user and module developer, so ...

It seems that we have three categories of users on this forum, and all 
should be served by the forum and the Wiki. The needs of each group will 
be different, but all of the conversations have potential provide 
helpful background to other groups.

1. We have Sword project developers.
2. We have front-end developers who will use, but not code for Sword or 
JSword.
3. We have module writers who must interact with the finer details of 
Sword and front-ends so as to produce Sword compatible modules and use 
features that are provided by, at least most, front-ends. (I fall into 
this category deeply due to SwordHammer development.)

Those in categories 2 and 3 may, or may not, be able to read C++. Not 
everyone is conversant in Biblical languages. Those who are may well be 
competent scholars but have weak computer skills. Other examples will be 
obvious. What is obvious is that all three are needed and can contribute 
to the overall strength of the ecosystem - if adequate and clear 
documentation is available.

The body of Christ has may parts.

For what it is worth.

Great News!
God created you, owns you and gave you commands to obey.
You have disobeyed God - as your conscience very well attests to you.
God's holiness and justice compel Him to punish you in Hell.
Jesus Christ became Man, was crucified, buried and rose from the dead
as a substitute for all who trust in Him, redeeming them from Hell.
If you repent (turn from your sin) and believe (trust) in Jesus Christ,
you will go to Heaven. Otherwise you will go to Hell.
Warning! Good works are a result, not cause, of saving trust.
