e-Sword is using a public domain portuguese text. Why isn't sword using it
also? Portuguese speaking people are about 150 million, 8th most spoken
language in the world (Portugal, Brasil, Angola, Moçambique, Guiné, Açores,
Madeira, Macau, Timor, Cabo Verde).

I have another interesting statistic :)
It gives us the number of possible programmers for the Sword team.
->We could reach 3,076,549,000 native speaking people with a module in their
language
->50% of them are able read
->20% of them have a computer
->50% are men (women do not use computers)

> Did you use the locked modules as basis?
Yes, but I think only 4 languages are only served by locked modules, and
those only account for about 120 million people. Tamil & Polish are the
two largest, and I believe I can find a public domain Polish Bible.

Did you use the locked modules as basis?

I wanted to see what how many people we could potentially be reaching

We now have Bibles in 48 languages (though 5 have no first language
speakers). Sword has a Bible for

I admire your work! You are creating new modules so fast!
I hope the other Bible projects have no Chris ;)

I re-posted two OLD modules that were removed a while ago: the
Analytical-Literal Translation (ALT) and Gill's Expositor (Gill). Both
are locked.
I also made two REALLY COOL new modules that no other Bible software has

where versions with even numbers are stable, versions with odd numbers
are development.
We're in a development branch right now (1.5). 1.5.2 is just a bump in

I wasn't looking for a bug, honest. I was just using Sword like a

Why the wait? What is the hard part of switching over to the source forge

There's also an eggdrop TCL script that does the same thing for our

It looks good. All the bugs I reported are fixed :) But I did find one
additional bug in the TDavid module. It shows garbage in the NT. In the OT
it works fine even outside of the Psalms. But if you go to the la

I know that there are quite a few mIRC bots scripted in PERL that can

see if they use the same type of module we do, or somthing similiar...
If so we could ask if they would be willing to join the project to help
