It is now at 2M, down from 9M. Great! The size of Java 1.4 JRE is 1.2M. My opinion is that Java belongs on everyone's machine. Yes it has advantages for other packages e.g. Huckstar. Anyway the point of all this is that JSword will have a relatively small footprint. I tried again last night and wi

I have the same concern in helping to develop JSword. I don't want to have language/locale specific processing of the Bible. It is best left up to language experts that create the Bible translation in the first place. I also think that OSIS should be robust enough preserve all visible jots an

Patrick, I understand Michael's point. On a few occasions I have voiced a concern regarding /" rendering, for a little different, more selfish reason, but haven't pressed the issue too much: As a developer of software for rendering OSIS texts, I do NOT want to be forced to have a language ex

I'll give my 2 cents regarding quotation markup. I have over 14 years of experience in Electronic Publishing. So my comments come from professional experience in non-theological works. 1) The language of a document may differ from the language of the reader. The text of the document needs to be

Hello, Everyone :) Sometime after I heard that Crosswire.org was being moved to a new server(s), I attempted to update Sword from CVS. I was not terribly shocked that it wouldn't update. I figured it had something to do with moving to a new server. A few weeks later, I'm trying to checkout a fre
