[sword-devel] Module identifier, module name, presentation

[Peter Von Kaehne]

Dear All, 

I received a complaint regarding a module identifier I have chosen for a module as the publisher had something else in mind. 

The background is a rather long ago discussion and a joint decision we had here (in the run up to Michael joining with eBible):

- Module identfiers are meant to be internal only and follow a scheme: (Repository)-(Language)-Identifier-Year. The result is unpleasant to the eye and confuses users, but helps us avoiding clashes
- To make it non-confusing to users Module conf files will allow to present arbitrary abbreviations and either these or the About should be used by frontends to present a module to the user

I think a variety of frontends still use the module identifier - and of course CrossWire's website's download page does so too. I will attend to the last one as soon as I can. But can I ask all those who develop frontends to consider how to make this nicer? 

Thank you!

Peter
