I don't understand the need for lists of other Bible software or of markup systems and file format that we don't use--particularly things like CROSS and PDF that have absolutely no relation to Sword and never will. Some of the language (in particular the notes on immorality) is a bit preachy. And the whole thing seems very redundant--though admittedly you may have plans to flesh things out that I don't know about. And a lot of the utilities listed either a) don't exist or b) aren't utility programs.
Regarding the copyright page, we should stay away from offering legal advice. In most cases, it might be best simply to link to the appropriate Copyright circulars or FAQ entries at copyright.gov. I pulled the link from the FAQ because, however much it may improve in the future, in its current state, we should not be directing users to the file formats page. --Chris jonathon wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > All: > > I just added two pages to the wiki: > * File Formats; > * Copyright; > > I will work on them over the weekend, but if you want to look them > over/do a rewrite, go ahead. > > I also rephrased one of the questions in the FAQ on the Wiki. > to wit, I changed "2.1.6 How do I convert modules from e-Sword to Sword > modules?" to "2.1.6 How do I convert modules from My Bible Study Program > to Sword modules?" > > Then added a link from that question, to the page "File Formats". > > Eventually I will write a paragraph about each of the utility programs > that are listed on that page.
