If I am understanding this correctly, this leads me to believe that
GenBooks are not going to be used, but rather regular Bible modules. If
this is true, it is a boon to commentaries as well, as commentaries are
structured internally as Bibles. And it gives us compressed modules. And
it gives us the speed of the Bible module (GenBook is very slow in
comparison.)
This is really good to know. I was recently looking at the "Holy Bible"
software you can get from cathnet.org here:
http://cathnet.org/projects/jerome/cnsoftware/holybible/
This is a fork of Sword for windows I think which includes the DRC and
CCB as Bible modules, not Gen book modules. I believe this is not
intended to be a general purpose fork and "regular" Bible modules would
not work (but I have not tried).
I had been concerned with GenBooks being used as osis2mod does
transformations and the gen book importer did not.
I think that what is needed is a minor change to osis2mod:
It will need to instantiate an appropriate VerseMgr (based on a new flag
to the program, defaulting to KJV) and the isKJVRef and makeKJVref will
need to change to isV11NRef and makeV11NRef.
Whoo Hoo!!!!
BTW, it should be easy to implement this in JSword!
This is the best news of all. I have been promoting both BibleDesktop
and FireBible locally and the one sticky point is the fact that no
Catholic Bibles are available. DM, I had been meaning to talk to you
about these Bibles for some time now; if we could get this into JSword
1.7, that would be great! You can count on me for assistance, but I
suspect these are changes you would like to make yourself :)
Brian.
