NB. Undocumented config keys will now be flagged as exceptions by the latest
script that Dom uses to prepare submitted modules for release by CrossWire.
It’s vital that any new proposals are agreed if such modules are to be
distributed by CrossWire.
What I wrote earlier was relevant in the context of a non-CrossWire repository.
cf. There was a time when some AndBible modules were hosted in an AndBible
repository that was not in our Master Repositories List.
Best regards,
David
