The Kernel does pull requests but just via email. They don't email
patches around. Not since they went to GIT.

Could I ask, please, why do you not like git today? I mean git as it

Otherwise, yes, I believe that everything outside of git is more or less

I work in an organization with ubuntu, windows and mac developers. We

version of git. This has a crossplatform UI front end called
tortoisehg which most windows users here use.

I can fully understand you.
I don't like git as well. Though I use Bazaar for all I'm developing. And yet,
Bazaar is said to be dead or at least not much effort is put into it any
longer. I'm still using it because I don't like git.

On the ancillary - if you install git on windows, you get the default
terminal. A lot of people also use Tortoise Git which is the equivalent of
Tortoise SVN and very good. There are some very good (better even) tools
for Mac I'm told. On top of that git is now part of the core Eclipse and

The main bit of code you are referring to (parsing the HTML) is my code. There
is other code that parses the return from an FTP server, which is ancient code.
My code is (relatively) new, only about 3 years old?

Hi Jaak,
I've been around CrossWire for quite a few years without actually being
part of the official group, so I think my opinion might be helpful here as
I don't have any turf to defend (CrossWire regulars: please chip in if I'm
misrepresenting anything).

Hi Jaak,
You're new here. The Zefania/Haggai/True Sharp Sword/Free Scriptures
people are not. They've been "competing" with us for over a decade.
Their "competition" consists of ripping off content in violation of
licenses and trolling sword-devel. There's a program somewhere that uses

Small correction: JSword is part of The SWORD Project and was created by
members of CrossWire Bible Society. We've also created SWIG and Corba bindings
so that the SWORD library is available in many contexts.
Many of the modules have been licensed to CrossWire for use by The SWORD

Historically, CrossWire has always maintained that our data formats are
volatile. We optimize them, add new features to them, basically change
them if we feel they need changing. In reality one could say that they
haven't changed much in the past few years, but this is only cursorily
true. T
I wonder if the fact that the sword module format is undocumented and
not published contributes to this perception. There are at least 4
different projects that I know of which implement sword module
support. And they have either had to look at the sword code and thus
accept GPL2 (no plus) licencin

Stephan,
We've had too many spammers signing up for the forums. About 400 a day, IIRC.
So we shut down registrations as we look for a better option.
So here is a great place for such conversation.
