<br>
This is a call for volunteers interested in (mostly) English language<br>
commentaries and general spiritual books. <br>
<br>
After a long hiatus of non-communication with CCEL I have been given<br>
permission to use their ThML files to upload to CrossWire. This is a<br>
brilliant thing. <br>
<br>
Trouble is when I looked at it closer I realised we actually do not<br>
have any thml2vs like import utility. We do have a utility for general<br>
books, but not for commentaries. I do see that we have some work on<br>
scripts for the Calvin commentaries which are CCEL derived, but I had<br>
not had a deeper look inside that yet. <br>
<br>
So, in short - if someone feels willing and called to tackle this<br>
<br>
1) a well described and fully automatised process to create a<br>
commentary module from ThML source, including XML validation<br>
<br>
2) a well described and preferably fully automatised process to pre-<br>
process CCEL source to make it clean for further import. <br>
<br>
any language, as long as it runs on Linux. C, C++, Perl or Python<br>
preferred though. <br>
<br>
Then, if someone wants to take on a guardian and shepherding role to<br>
deal with what is on offer and produce quality modules from it, with<br>
conf files etc etc, this would be hugely appreciated. I will continue<br>
to deal with the upload. <br>
<br>
This is probably a huge opportunity to help us get a large number of<br>
quality texts from a well reputed source, so it would be wonderful if<br>
someone or some who are previously maybe not so deeply involved want to<br>
tackle this. <br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
