I left the lexica alone for the time being because no one has ever presented me with concrete problems the module has. I've only ever heard a vague "it has issues". I'll take another look soon to see what those problems might be and see if I need to make changes. The conversion for the Bible + notes has been completely rewritten into Python with a load of unit tests - every time someone has pointed out a bug in it to me, I add a unittest that is the actual text from the module that causes the bug and then I fix the unittests. This has made my iterations much more stable with regards to regressions. > > 2) That we support their entire dataset which they have given us for > this module (base text + footnotes / crossrefs + lexica) > I'm unaware of deficiencies here at present.
