I'm arguing for the narrow perspective, but I feel like you were arguing for an even narrower perspective, where The SWORD Project includes only the API--since you included frontends and modules as a wider set of topics that the news covers. In truth, the non-Sword news tends to be site news (i.e. server down, new wiki, etc.) or mis-categorized (since "CrossWire" is the default category and the category to which news items are set when edited). >> The same goes for making the Sword forums into the CrossWire forums, >> which I've seen mentioned once or twice.

Again, I'm arguing for what you cite as the narrow perspective. --Chris _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
