Irrespective of this labour of love etc, I do doubt that vowel signs can

I would think if the Van Dyke is public domain so this is , unless there
are more profound revisions done. In fact all printed editions I have

I just pointed to this one because it was easily accessible and

Yeah, I know what you mean.
Please let me know if you need someone to test a module with vowels:)

First Century Greek was also all caps. But tradition makes it

I figured out my glitch in use of "Textual Variants" this morning.
What I've learned in the process of fixing the GnomeSword code to select
variants properly is that the Sword lib functions for OSISVariants and

Thanks a lot for this explanation. I've not seen the wiki before I only saw

I don't think I ever saw the wiki either until people mentioned it...
can we get some more links to it on the other pages?

Also, it might be good to put the disclaimer about not converting other
peoples' modules without proper permissions at the top of the wiki.
Maybe make a note about it and link to another page talking about all of

It's impressive. I haven't been able to take accurate timings, but the

Would there be any problem with using a web-based SWORD app that
served the content of SWORD modules as either XML or JSON to an
offline-capable bible program (i.e. built with Google Gears, etc...)?
I'm a little hazy on how the licensing would work in this use-case.
Thanks!

That indeed is right.
But my experience is that you get more if you are able to demosntrate
that you are actually capable of using it. I.e. a working module goes a

I do not know how to export or import from esword.
Possibly the person to ask is Johnathon here on the mailing list who
appears to be an expert on e-sword.
But I think the general principle here is to start from the original
e-text and not from someone else's modules for other software. Otherwise
