I'm going to dispose of the following modules on the eBible.org
repository in hopes of reducing confusion without really taking
anything of value away from the public:<br>
engRVX2012 - doesn't really add anything beyond what engRV1895 and
engWEB2015 provide. I'd rather remove it than explain it.<br>
engUKWEB2015 - proper subset of engWEBBE2015 (omits
Deuterocanon/Apocrypha)<br>
engWEBc2015 - proper subset of engWEB2015 (omits books not in the
Roman Catholic Bible)<br>
engKJV2006 - redundant with the KJV in the main repository; subset
of engKJV1769<br>
<br>
For the subset books, I would rather see filter options on searching
and displaying texts than make multiple modules from the same
source. I want to make these modules and this software useful for
Christians from a variety of church traditions while trying to stay
somewhat neutral on how to treat the books beyond the 66-book canon.
Attitudes towards those books are wildly diverse, so I don't know
how viable that strategy is. I may be convinced to backtrack on
that, later, but for now, this seems too hard to deal with in a
short module name, and not really worth the effort.<br>
<br>
Regarding the naming of the KJV with Apocrypha: I try to make my
abbreviations mesh not only with Crosswire, but even more
importantly, with the American Bible Society's abbreviations. For
them, KJVA is the Americanized King James Version. Sigh.<br>
<br>
For now, I'm leaving engKJV1769 in the eBible.org repository until
such time as DM and I come up with a better idea together. I've been
distributing the KJV from eBible.org, and before that from a
computer bulletin board, dating back to before the Sword Project
began. I have done some reconciliation with DM's copy on Sword from
time to time. I'm using the KJV as a markup test, as well as an
additional output format for the KJV. Also, there are some
variations in the Apocrypha between the two copies, plus some typo
reports pending to implement. I'll start sharing those with DM as I
get them. If David's analysis of the text differences in the 66
books of the KJV canon is correct, there are only a handful of
variations where my printed copy and DM's differ, so we could just
overwrite mine with DM's latest KJV, give or take markup issues. I'm
sure we can figure out a way to collaborate effectively, but it may
take a bit of time to figure it out, and for me to write some
software to import a specific subset of OSIS. (I have resisted
making a general OSIS importer, because that is very difficult, and
nobody has ever done it to my knowledge, but it shouldn't be hard to
ingest just that tiny part of what OSIS allows that the KJV master
copy is in.)<br>
