Ok I understand, but when you (or the team) build the modules you
had some source no? Where are this sources? Didn't you keep the osis
files or usfm file when you had it? Just CPDV as example. I would
like to be sure nobody keeps usfm or osis file before working on it.<br>

Some of these old issues were originally added by me as long ago
as 2011 when CrossWire still had someone responsible for
building the original modules.</div>
<div>They were added on the assumption that this person would have
known the module history and was in a position to do all the
necessary work.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That he went AWOL and these issues are still open essentially
means that to make any progress now, someone will need to
champion each module, do the research, find the latest source
text, do the conversion to OSIS, rebuild and test the module,
and check that the issue is then fixed, before submitting to the
Modules Team.<br>

<div>I will not be adding replies to new comments unless I have
new information to hand that was unavailable when each issue
were created.<br>

<div>Hi to all<br>
</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> 1) I am so pleased and grateful for all the
activity checking and testing modules wrt issues
mentioned on the tracker<br>
</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> 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>
</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> 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>
</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> 4) How to find sources:<br>
</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> 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>
</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> 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>
</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> Thanks again to all!<br>
