Hi all, Some time ago I sent the below email to modu...@crosswire.org.
Since then I corresponded with Peter von Kaehne, and it seems that the legal issues are sorted out. You can find the current state of my work at [1]. I'd like to get feedback about this, including but not limited to the technical issues I mentioned in the email below. In particular: I currently use KJV versification. At some point, as you can see in the git history, I had a version that includes both the OT (copied from the project MAPM) and the NT. This didn't work well with any versification that I tried, and I gave up. Ideally I'd like to have versification that is KJV for the NT and Masoretic for the OT - I think most bibles in Israel that include the NT are that way, and do not use KJV versification for the OT. Not sure what is required to achieve this. A provided Makefile generates two versions, with and without Nikkud (diacritics, aka vowel points). I didn't try much searching with different sword software, but I have a feeling that searching in the non-nikkud version works much better in most packages, hence this duplication.
