Is it? The oldest revision in SVN I can find (https://git.cepl.eu/cgit/sword/commit/?id=44ffa2f5aa5f)) is from Tue May 4 22:03:32 1999? Is that just the time of CVS2SVN conversion? Are there archives of the actual CVS somewhere? It would be nice to include them to git as well. It seems there was something on Sourceforge (https://sourceforge.net/p/sword/cvs/), but it is most likely gone. > + year old and does its job.

This is just an excuse: I am quite certain I am not the only one, who just gave up proposing changes to libsword (e.g., new v11n for the Protestant Deuterocanonic Bibles) when all my suggestinos were ignored. There are many projects who are similarly very lightly manned (to say it mildly; and I am or I was a maintainer on few of these) and yet there is more life in them than in libsword. No, I am not saying that just switching to git will fix all our problems, it is just a sign of them not their cause, but bigger visibility of the project would certainly not hurt. Thank you for all your care your spent on the project so far, and my blessings go with you!
