Troy,<br><br>As for helping to keep up with what's "In the works," maybe a restricted-access wiki of some sort? Or an announcements board? Then you could have a page with modules, a page for the different front-end maintainers, and more so that each group can maintain its own page and if someone wanted to know what modules are being worked on they could look on the "modules" board and if they wanted to know when the next realease of BibleCS was going to be availble they could look on the "BibleCS" board or wiki? And thanks for clarifying the legality of this module!

Peter,<br> Thank you for your ambition! I'm excited that you were persistent to<br>learn how to make SWORD modules. We could use more help in that area!<br><br> Concerning the ESV. We have a good relationship with Crossway and have
<br>signed a contract allowing us to distribute the ESV worldwide for our<br>software (not a small challenge when another organization manages the<br>rights to distribute the ESV in the UK and the rest of Europe).<br><br>
The module is completed with footnotes and cross-references. You can<br>try it out on our web software, as DM Smith has pointed out, at:<br><br> <a href="http://crosswire.org/study/passagestudy.jsp?mod=ESV">
http://crosswire.org/study/passagestudy.jsp?mod=ESV</a><br><br> It should be available sometime in the next couple weeks.<br><br> Please don't distribute your module, as it would first, be illegal, and<br>second, possibly hinder our relationship with Crossway.
<br><br> We need to do a better job communicating what is in the works, and this<br>is solely my fault. I hope to work on that this summer.<br><br> I look forward to any future contributions you might be able to make
<br>with module creation, or fixing our unhelpful error messages!<br><br> In Him,<br> -Troy.<br><br><br><br>Peter Clark wrote:<br>> I finally got around to converting the e-Sword ESV module last night; it
