Now that I have the ear of the upstream maintainer, may I point out a couple
of things?
1. On your web page <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ebible.org/web/">http://www.ebible.org/web/</a>, the websword.zip link is
broken.</pre>

Link deleted in the master copy. It will trickle up to the web site
in due course, probably after the next edit(s) to the World English
Bible.<br>

Good idea. This one won't help you for anything before today, but
try<br>
<a href="http://code.google.com/p/worldenglishbible/source/checkout"><tt
id="checkoutcmd">http://code.google.com/p/worldenglishbible/source/checkout</tt></a>
<br>
I actually set that up a long time ago, but didn't start using it
until today because of bandwidth limitations and hostile firewalls
related to working in a very remote area and because of being
excessively busy once back in the land of plentiful cheap bandwidth.
I'll try to remember to keep that repository reasonably current. If
I don't, please give me a nudge. I have older archives in different
formats, but they are difficult to access (and probably not worth
the effort required to do so), so we will just give this a fresh
start, in spite of the long road from ASV to WEB.<br>
<br>
The announcements at <a
href="http://groups.google.com/group/web-news">http://groups.google.com/group/web-news</a>
are useful for major events. Documenting every change there would
probably be akin to spamming, since updates are now frequent, and
frequently small. They add up, though. Updating the source on
eBible.org and WorldEnglishBible.org may indicate anything from one
typo correction to major work on a few chapters of the Old Testament
to a consistent change in the handling of a particular phrase or
grammatical construct throughout the Bible. Work tends to progress
on the World English Bible in spurts, as it is one of many tasks I
switch between.<br>
<br>
The current Sword modules for WEB, WEB:ME, and WEBBE lack
significant edits in Genesis and Joshua, plus numerous small
corrections spread out throughout the whole Bible. They also lack
av11n support and the WEB Apocrypha. (The Apocrypha will not be
ported to the WEB:ME, but will be ported to the WEBBE in the future.
Therefore av11n support is primarily an issue for the WEB with
Apocrypha.) The WEB Apocrypha is in a state of rapid flux, right
now. Although it is a lower priority than the Old and New
Testaments, there are people actively working on it in what amounts
to a restart, shifting from a revision of the KJV Apocrypha to a
revision of the RV Apocrypha plus a couple of books from the Brenton
Septuagint.<br>
