Dear all,
Actually my worry was about a question between the module team. We have
duplicated modules, in Crosswire and in ebible.org. Often the ebible.org
are updated and not in Crosswire. And we are very slow to update the new
module in Crosswire. Then I proposed to remove in the Crosswire repo,
all the old modules with issue reported on the bug tracker. But the
question was: What to do if the users don't know how to change the repo,
as it happened in the other post on this list, some of us didn't know
how to change for IBT in Xiphos.
I Bibletime, Andbible and Bishop, the repositories are updated all
together, but not in Xiphos. I opened an issue about this on the xiphos git.
For this reason I proposed this for Swordpocket, even if it seems to be
more or less easier than for Xiphos.

Right now, it is, unfortunately, on hold, as I have another task in the foreground. I finished the main editing of the World English Bible, with the exception of still correcting the occasional rare typo. (I found one this morning in Ezekiel.) My foreground task at the moment is integrating SILE into Haiola for better PDF generation, especially
>>> with mixed complex scripts. After that is done, I hope to focus on PocketSword. In its new incarnation, it will generate its own indexes, and won't need special server support for that. I'll also fix the key problem for when a module goes from locked to unlocked, which of course, will happen as copyrights expire and/or special permission is granted.
