These are great news, Troy! I've been a happy NASB reader when studying the Bible in English! Thanks for your efforts on this long road and thanks to Lockman! I remember writing them an email ten years ago asking about the copyright of the NASB. To see now that this translation becomes

I think that dividing the eBible repository into sub repos is probably not the best solution to the problem of finding the particular translation(s) you want among nearly a thousand others. That actually becomes a front end problem, where better ways of filtering, sorting, and presenting lists

Actually, web servers don't get corona viruses, and people don't congregate in crowds around them physically, so COVID-19 has no direct effect on web servers or their use. The pandemic, however, does have some serious side-effects due to widespread panic, overreactions, shutdowns, shortages,

I plan to update PocketSword so that it draws from all official repositories, by default, much like AndBible does. Duplicating works in repositories is helpful, perhaps, for front ends that only look at one repository at a time, especially if the work is kept up to date in both repositories.

There is currently no way to add repositories in AndBible. I looked at the App code, and realized that it's not just a matter of hacking a URL string. It is also dependent on JSword, and there is repository-specific code for the three repositories that are available. There are requests for

Perhaps the only exception I would consider would be the suggestion that the three WEB modules should be removed by CrossWire because these were based on a very early edition of the WEB source text files obtained from Michael Johnson. They are now well out of date compared to the equivalents on

Dear all, Actually my worry was about a question between the module team. We have duplicated modules, in Crosswire and in ebible.org. Often the ebible.org are updated and not in Crosswire. And we are very slow to update the new module in Crosswire. Then I proposed to remove in the Crosswire repo,
