Interested in sharing the source for that conversion of html-bibles? I am working on a conversion of the Swedish Bible 2000 (not a version number but the year it was released :-) ). And so far I have downloaded every chapter of the Bible as separate html-files, imported them into a sqlite-db with minimal html-markup (done with python + the BeautifulSoup-parser). So I suppose the last step to OSIS shouldn't be too hard. But any hints or pieces of advice is very welcome.
The hardest part I suppose is to then talk the Swedish biblecommission into releasing it into the wild under an Creative Commons license, or such...
