Chris, thanks for pointing out these errors, and for pointing out the
lack of mention of Crosswire in the Press Release - a bad oversight.
The STEP Bibles project does indeed depend heavily on the Crosswire
modules and JSword.
In the early days of hte project Troy convinced me that you guys had
sorted out so many difficult problems that it would be silly to start
from scratch.
The modules and the coding are also being kept up to date so we
decided to team up and work with Crosswire.
It was a great decision, and I hope that it will be a two-way
relationship so that Crosswire will also benefit.

Dear All
I'm delighted to announce that the Beta version of STEP (Scripture Tools
for Every Person) has now been launched. You can try it out for yourself at
http://www.stepbible.org
For more information about the project, please see our press release:
http://tyndalehouse.createsend5.com/t/ViewEmail/r/2327671F6C55581B2540EF23F30FEDED/B21695CAFB8260E3C45D7BC1A387288D
For the techies, STEP is built upon JSword and uses Sword modules to
serve Bible & Commentary content, so we are very grateful for all the
work this community has put in, which has made this project possible.
Chris
I don't know if anyone would necessarily confuse STEP with the
original STEP, but I certainly don't think anyone would mistake STEP
for a (J)Sword front end.
It's fairly difficult to locate any mention of CrossWire, JSword,
Sword, or any of the dozens of people who have done a lot more to
make STEP possible than literally ANYONE listed on this page:
https://stepweb.atlassian.net/wiki/display/SUG/Development+Team
I don't see any mention of CrossWire, JSword, or Sword in your press
release or anywhere on stepbible.org. You're standing on the
shoulders of giants, but you are frauds pretending that you've built
a skyscraper entirely by yourselves.
(As an aside, Paul Esposito is not the editor/translator of the
Apostolic Bible Polyglot, as
https://stepweb.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=12484619
states. Also, the "If you see an error in the following please
contact us." link on the same page doesn't go anywhere.)
