[sword-devel] Status of OSIS?

Have you looked at our Wiki page?

OSIS 211 CR

It was even edited again today!

The Bible Technologies Group has not met for years & the original website went AWOL.

It may well be the case that CrossWire is the only remaining de facto maintainer of OSIS.

Best regards,

David

I've started one, just to turn Appendix F into a real table... but as I read through the wiki, now it seems I'm going to have to process everything to be able to trust what I'm reading, and it makes sense that I should be dropping the result somewhere more official than my google drive.
