It will be interesting to see if the Sword Module system stabilizes in light of OSIS.

If the Sword project provided OSIS modules for all its text that would be fine.

With OSIS there is a spec to go by.

I could start there within Squeak. If I needed to interface the Sword libraries then I could. I would have to be willing to limit access to those platforms for which it is available, but only for those Modules which aren't available in OSIS, GBF or other publicly spec'd/documented format.

I am hopefully going to begin a project in the near future
developing a
Bible frontend to the Sword Modules. It will not rely on any of the
Sword DLLs or executables. This is something I've wanted for a long,
long time.

Please bear in mind that Sword is a library, and the module format is
evolving. The ONLY reliable way to access Sword modules is to use the Sword
API to interface with the library. Any attempt to access all the Sword
modules directly will have to reproduce most of the Sword library and will
then be left behind as Sword evolves. If they are any advantages with trying
to work around the modules these drawbacks surely outweigh them.
