Please Peter, can you post even if you don't have the source? It
will be easier, because I post on multiples issues, I don't remember
exactly which...<br>

In our newer and better modules a source is given in the conf

all<br>
<br>
1) I am so pleased and grateful for all the activity
checking and testing modules wrt issues mentioned on the
tracker<br>
<br>
2) There is a substantial minority of modules we do have
source texts for (around 100) and I hold the key for
them. They can not be shared to anyone, usually, as they
tend to be not public domain texts. But the upshot for
them is, I feel responsible in a direct way for them and
take care of much in these weeks. So if you see me
commenting on a module as the matter being in work, just
move on , as it is in hand. <br>
<br>
3) There is a majority of texts, and some of them are
very old in terms of CrossWire and we need to find
sources for them, because we do not hold them. So, if
you do not see me commenting that things are in hand,
the module clearly requires a rebuilt and you want to
push this actively forward, go and find the source. <br>
<br>
4) How to find sources:<br>
<br>
Many public domain texts have been pushed forward and
backward between projects since the start of the
internet, are in a poor state and badly or not at all
marked up, forced into KJV versification , or sometimes
even chopped up in order to support sectarian views.
Commonly for important texts though there exists
somewhere someone who has decided to fix things. People
who do try and fix things make this often very clear.
Others refer/defer to them. It pays to get into direct
contact with them to establish a link and maybe even let
them produce OSIS or USFM for our use. We certainly
always want to feed back any and all improvements we
make to Mark Up etc.<br>
<br>
5)You find good authoritative source, put at least the
link underneath the tracker and explain shortly why this
is in your view the best source, particularly if there
is a big choice. If you want to go and start working on
a module, even better<br>
<br>
Thanks again to all!<br>
