Is it possible to put a link in the "About" section as well? That way
users who download the module will also see where to find out more. <br>
<br>
For the ShortPromo, I looked at the ESV info page because I know they
have a ShortPromo like in the .conf file, but I didn't see the link at
the info page in the download section. SWORDWeb has it clear as day. I
suppose that is what is essential, but I thought I would point out that
the download page was missing the short promo.<br>

<pre wrap="">Dear Daniel,
This is great news! Thank you for pursuing this! Our policy is to
allow a "ShortPromo" entry in the .conf file of a module. When this
module is viewed in SWORDWeb, or when the details of the module are
viewed on the download page, the short promo is displayed. These allow
for links to the copyright holder's website.
In short, if a user shows any interest in the Vietnamese module, they
will be presented with a link to Vietnamese Bible, Inc. As google
spiders our website and hits the pages dealing with this module, the
link with be registered with google, as well. I hope this is in line
with what Vietnamese Bible, Inc. is expecting. Please check with them.

<pre wrap="">I just received this response from the copyright holders of the New
Vietnamese Bible (NVB), published in 2002. As I understand their
response, they are granting permission for Crosswire to distribute the
NVB but would like to have linking between the two websites. Perhaps
they want to give people a chance to buy printed editions. I am not sure
how the linking would work exactly, whether we could have a Vietnamese
language wiki page or what, but it seems appropriate to present this to
sword-devel to see what next steps should be taken. Is this
documentation clear enough to satisfy the need to have permission to
distribute a module? What about creating links between the two sites?

Subject: Crosswire Bible Society Request (01/28/08)
Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2008 08:40:01 -0600
From: Leon Taylor
To: Daniel Owens
Good morning Daniel,
I pray that you are well and that the Lord is blessing you. The VBI NVB
Publication Committee has approved your request (below) on behalf
of Crosswire Bible Society.
We have approved a mutual partnership with Crosswire that will link
Crosswire with our NVB website, and our website with Crosswire's. Dual
links will serve to increase the web traffic on both sites, and provide
other important options for searchers. In summary, our site will link to
CW so that their VN users can immediately go to our web site for
Scripture and our users can go immediately to another good English
translation on the CW site.
Please let me know the decision of Crosswire regarding this cross-link
partnership.
Leon Taylor - Chairman
Vietnamese Bible, Inc.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To whom it may concern:
I am seeking the copyright holder of the New Vietnamese Bible. I would
like to ask permission to distribute the NVB on behalf of the Crosswire
Bible Society.
The Crosswire Bible Society is a non-profit organization which maintains
a library of Bibles and Bible study materials, also called the Sword
Library. They develop free Bible programs to use the Sword Library in
Windows, Mac, Linux, Palm, and Pocket PC as well as providing an online
interface for the library. I would like to make the NVB available for
their library. You can view their website at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.crosswire.org">http://www.crosswire.org</a>.
My goal is to add Vietnamese-language Bibles and other study materials
to the Sword Library as well as translate program interfaces so that
Vietnamese pastors can have free Bible software for study and sermon
preparation which not only includes Vietnamese texts but Greek, Hebrew,
English, and other languages. In the end pastors and students will be
able to do serious biblical exegesis using the Sword library.
If you could put me in touch with the right person to contact regarding
this request, I would appreciate it. I normally live in Vietnam, but I
am temporarily in Singapore. I can be reached at (telephone number) or
at this email address.
Sincerely,
Daniel Owens
