The Mirror ========== I created a new git mirror of the SVN trunk of Sword at gitorious: Gitorious web page: https://gitorious.org/sword-svn-mirrors/trunk Git URLs: https://git.gitorious.org/sword-svn-mirrors/trunk.git git://gitorious.org/sword-svn-mirrors/trunk.git g...@gitorious.org:sword-svn-mirrors/trunk.git Why? ==== In short: there's a possibility that there might arise forks. The BibleTime team has long been contemplating on how to relate to various issues with Sword and its development, which has somewhat hindered the development of BibleTime, fixing or working around bugs dependant on Sword etc. Up to this point, we have discussed 1) writing an alternative backend for BibleTime to replace Sword, 2) writing a better wrapper around Sword which would hide its deficiencies, 3) a combination of 1) and 2) and allow BibleTime to use multiple backends, 4) forking Sword as a separate project, and 5) embedding a forked version of Sword SVN in the source code of BibleTime which would be partly kept up-to-date with the original project. At this moment we have not yet reached any decision whatsover, but these discussions have become rather frequent. Personally, as a developer and the current lead of the BibleTime project, I'm not satisfied with the code quality of Sword, and find lacking the documentation of Sword interfaces and file formats. In addition, as an outsider I have long found it difficult to do anything about it, partly because of the centralized version control system used by Sword (SVN), and partly because the lack of explicit guidelines for new developers (how do I start, get my proposed fixes and changes applied etc). I just wanted to clarify what has been under discussion @ BibleTime during the previous years and what we feel we're experiencing towards using Sword. I'm not offering any silver bullets, except that for one thing I urge the Sword project to release a new version of Sword soon. However, personally, I'd place my bets on recruiting new developers for the Sword library (and git).
