This page is probably worth pointing out:
http://wiki.volxbibel.com/index.php/Volxbibel_f%C3%BCr_das_SWORD_Projekt

The actual link (I believe to a Zefania page) is down, and only ever contained the version 1 Bible (which is now up to version 3), but it may still be available through one of the web archives and I imagine a few of us downloaded it while the link was alive--in case anyone is interested in that edition.

Making something new from the v3 text would require grabbing the v3 text via Wiki export and doing some rather icky manipulation via regexes to deal with the footnotes. Everything else ought to be fairly straightforward. I think the VolxBibel is somewhere on my todo list, but if anyone else would like to step up and work on it, I can provide either the list of Wiki entries needed for the export page or the exported text itself--ready for conversion to OSIS.

"The Volxbibel is the first translation of the Bible in the world, in which
every person on the Internet can be involved. This is the wiki Volxibel
available under a Creative Commons open-source license on the web. Currently
we are working on version 3.0, which is almost completed."

English speakers can get the gist by using http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A//www.volxbibel.com/index.php&hl=en&langpair=de|en&tbb=1&ie=ISO-8859-15
