The last few days I had an exchange of emails with someone on sword-support who complained about wrong order of books in the Hebrew Bible.
It became clear that he was looking for a Jewish style ordered Bible and ours follows the KJV as everything else in Crosswire too. I explained this to him and also explained that a move to a different form of encoding is (somewhat) imminent which will allow for a different, more flexible way of encoding - including opening the door to a Jewish canon + versification scheme. I suggested he should in the meantime work to contribute to this by creating a Hebrew Bible in Jewish order, but he rightly questioned whether it is sensible to have for every single versification preference a new module, whether it would not make more sense to have modules with several versifications as choice, i.e. one text with several sets of meta data (catholic, KJV, Jewish, whatever) Thinking this through, it became clear to me that there are probably some bits which I have not understood myself with the eventual move, but irrespective of that I think I should bring this up here and get your take on it.
