Thank you.
I use the actual Ethnologue/ISO 693-3 language code for the first 3 characters of the module names in the eBible.org repository. To do otherwise increases the risk of collisions and the risk of confusing myself. I could do like I do when matching up Bibles with FCBH and make a mapping to their language codes, but it can get confusing.
See http://www.ethnologue.com/language/fra for the language code.
The "2" in the date was a typo. I think more research is needed to figure out which text this really is. Like you said, there were many revisions over time...

Hi Michael,

About fraFOB1724, which is a module for the French Bible Ostervald, I think it must be renamed to FreFOB<year-to-be-determined>:
- Fre is the recommended prefix for French modules.
- The Ostervald Bible was first made public in the year 1744, so obviously 1724 is not the correct date. 
Anyway, if you compare verses from the module vs a printed Bible (1779), they don't match:
Printed Bible:
Gn 1:2 Et la terre était sans forme & vide.. (Old style)
fraFOB1724:
Gn 1:2 Or la terre était informe et vide, .. (Modern style)
The Ostervald Bible was revised and revised many times during its history, so it's not easy to define a date without error, but this version looks more like a modern revision, maybe the 1996 revision?
