[sword-devel] Status of OSIS?

[Michael Johnson]

FWIW, there is a public archive of OSIS standard information at https://ebible.org/osis/, but it is not being edited or improved in any way. It just documents what the standard was when it was last officially maintained.

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.
