Ok, sounds good. I will post updated source this evening and e-mail
you as soon as it is up. Thank you for being understanding. I am
currently going for my B.S. in CS (finishing the sophomore year right
now)! Unfortunately I will not be able to chat on #sword until after I
am done with school (May 9th) because of the said network access
restrictions on-campus :(

Ian,
Glad to hear you are open to help. I am eager to do so. :-) I can
handle the
details of getting the svn up for you and I can look into the
changes you
made and see if I can get them rolled into the official sword repo
as well
as the clucene repo. This will give me a chance to get familiar with
your
code base. Just let me know, and if so make sure I have access to your
absolute the latest source tree.
I understand the pressures of being a student, I recently graduated
with a
B.S. In C.S. and have not forgotten how life and free time tends to
ebb and
flow around midterms and finals. I myself am married with 5 kids and
work
full time so my spare time to work on Sword related items comes and
goes as
well.
As far as development is concerned, I imagine you have some idea of
how you
want the flow of the UI and features to be implemented and I do not
want to
step on your toes there, so at some point after I get these items
taken care
of (assuming you want me to do those things) we should try to meet
up a few
times in #sword and chat about your vision for the software.
In Christ,
David Trotz

Yes, I agree. I'm very sorry I haven't had time to setup SVN yet. I
will attempt to make a list of changes that were needed for iPhone
compilation sometime in the near future.
I'm sorry if it sounds like I am trying to do this solo. I did give
that impression, but it is mostly due to the fact that I'm terribly
busy right now and haven't had much time to explain all of the
changes
and things that I have done, I don't have a version control system,
and in general haven't had much time to work on anything for this.
Also, this is the first time I have had much interest from other
developers because most had not learned the iPhone API or didn't have
the dev program membership. I'm a college student with a 19 credit
load and I just got 2 big papers dumped on me at the end of the
year :) Again, I'm terribly sorry if I sound short or anything and I
really do welcome all of the experience that everyone else has to
offer but was trying to wait till I had a bit more time (ie. school
is
out).

I am going to start using SVN over the summer. The reason I do not
use it right now is because I am at college and my school blocks
almost every non-HTTP port in the book so it would be a pain to
work with right now. If crosswire would be able to host it that
would be great.
Until its available via subversion I may hold off on helping out.
Otherwise its going to be far too easy to be out of sync with your
copy and merging will be a pain. Please consider doing this sooner
rather than later.
Yes, I am packaging SWORD and clucene with it for now. This is
because neither of these will compile out of the box for the iPhone
so I had to change a few things to get it to work so it is much
easier to just distribute my modified version with the package. I
still haven't been able to get a few parts of the library to
compile at all, but they are non-essential, namely the install and
ftp managers. I wrote my own module downloader/installer using
iPhone native API calls. I also decided to do it using the HTTP
mirror instead of FTP because of the previously mentioned college
situation. Using FTP would make it impossible for thousands of
users in similar situations to use the module downloader.
You do plan to get your changes into the official source trees? This
will make our lives easier, especially as sword continues to evolve,
we want to take advantage of new features.
It kinda feels like you want to take this thing solo, which I hope
is only a feeling I have and not in fact reality, but if it is let
me know so that I do not step on your toes here. I really would love
to help out and I am sure there are others as well. A concerted
effort is much more fruitful than a solo one, although there are
exceptions.
