<font face="FreeSerif">Phooey. Its "decent overview" thinks Xiphos
came into existence in 2009 and is written in Scheme, and I can't
find a way to look at the other 5 of its 6 reviews. I am
unconvinced I can trust anything else it says, either.<br>

<font face="FreeSerif">Likewise Xiphos. Thousands of downloads, and
that's just the source tarball and Win32 installer; there is no
way to track RPM installs, but given that Fedora users get it
automatically and Win32 users have to look for it manually, I
presume that RPM installs are substantially higher than Win32.<br>

<font face="FreeSerif">Yes, but you're one of the reasons I asked.
"It seems Xiphos is the only actively developed SWORD frontend
these days" in #xiphos on 14 Jan. Similar things were muttered at
me a couple days ago, hence my question here.<br>

I'm not looking to get anything knocked off any list. That said,
it would be nice if folks would update the <a
href="http://www.crosswire.org/wiki/Choosing_a_SWORD_program">Choosing
page</a> once in several blue moons. There are many areas yet
unfilled, and quite a number of recently-created or -updated
categories that have gone blank.</font><br>
