This introduces an interesting thought I had the other day. We currently have
our handler for sword:// but what if we created a new one for installing
modules? So you could have something like swordinstall://crosswire/ESV which
would then bring up the ESV ready to install from our main CrossWire repo
within the front-end. It would then be up to the individual front-ends to
decide what to do if that repo wasn't defined?
If we were to implement something like this we could then remove the links to
download the raw modules & instead have a link to install the module directly?
Hopefully that could remove all the issues we have with users downloading a
module & not knowing how to install it? The above suggestion I have given of
swordinstall://crosswire/ESV would of course need proper thinking through, but
hopefully this can be a starting point for discussion? :)
Thanks, ybic
nic... :)
