XULsword - while not being a "major" Sword application in the sense of Xiphos etc for lack of having a worldwide distribution and a lack of much community involvement by XULSowrd's makers - it has a very strong following in the CIS area - where the synodal versification is in use across a whole bunch of tranlations (all IBT issues and preceding our own release of synodal texts( And XUL sword supported synodal versification from early on - i.e. prior to libsword having av11n implemented XULSword was based on a forked version implementing kjv and synodal. I think this fork has been dumped and XULSword is now relying on our own ordinary implementation of av11n. While using the forked version XULSword also had its modules encrypted in a unique fashion, but my understanding is that the modules currently distributed will be just normal standard modules with Synodan v11n. So, summary - for the target audience of synodal v11n there existed for a long time a distribution channel for modules, there are plenty out there who use these and we are currently making integration of IBT and XULsword into CrossWire proper difficult. I think if we plan to have a formal policy of eternal retention of obsolete v11ns, it needs to apply to the synodal too. This is a bit unfortunate and is in parts caused by the near total lack of communication between XULSword makers and us + also between IBT and us, but it would be good and right to be welcoming from our side. There is more to this than simply "doing your own thing". Peter -- NEU: FreePhone - 0ct/min Handyspartarif mit Geld-zurück-Garantie!
