Now that I have the ear of the upstream maintainer, may I point out a couple of things?1. On your web page http://www.ebible.org/web/, the websword.zip link is broken. Link deleted in the master copy. It will trickle up to the web site in due course, probably after the next edit(s) to the World English Bible. 2. Do you provide an archive somewhere of the old versions of the source code? Alternatively, do you have a publicly-readable source code repository (such as Subversion)? Good idea. This one won't help you for anything before today, but try http://code.google.com/p/worldenglishbible/source/checkout I actually set that up a long time ago, but didn't start using it until today because of bandwidth limitations and hostile firewalls related to working in a very remote area and because of being excessively busy once back in the land of plentiful cheap bandwidth. I'll try to remember to keep that repository reasonably current. If I don't, please give me a nudge. I have older archives in different formats, but they are difficult to access (and probably not worth the effort required to do so), so we will just give this a fresh start, in spite of the long road from ASV to WEB. The announcements at http://groups.google.com/group/web-news are useful for major events. Documenting every change there would probably be akin to spamming, since updates are now frequent, and frequently small. They add up, though. Updating the source on eBible.org and WorldEnglishBible.org may indicate anything from one typo correction to major work on a few chapters of the Old Testament to a consistent change in the handling of a particular phrase or grammatical construct throughout the Bible. Work tends to progress on the World English Bible in spurts, as it is one of many tasks I switch between. The current Sword modules for WEB, WEB:ME, and WEBBE lack significant edits in Genesis and Joshua, plus numerous small corrections spread out throughout the whole Bible. They also lack av11n support and the WEB Apocrypha. (The Apocrypha will not be ported to the WEB:ME, but will be ported to the WEBBE in the future. Therefore av11n support is primarily an issue for the WEB with Apocrypha.) The WEB Apocrypha is in a state of rapid flux, right now. Although it is a lower priority than the Old and New Testaments, there are people actively working on it in what amounts to a restart, shifting from a revision of the KJV Apocrypha to a revision of the RV Apocrypha plus a couple of books from the Brenton Septuagint. |
