Greg,
Is anyone actually looking at the software issues for SWORD utilities?
This one is still open, even though it was created on 2012-01-09.

It's quite disheartening to see so little response after reporting a
software issue.
CrossWire
Which other open source project would allow issues to be neglected for more
than 18 months?
Lots actually, In my experience most bugs I have raised against
opensource projects have never been fixed. The exception to this is
bugs I have raised against my own opensource projects. Opensource

I would consider this expected behaviour at that level, not a bug. These are
linked verses and so each verse pointer will point at the same text.
At the level of a
Thanks Daniel,
*begin rant*
Why do they have issues trackers if they only respond to issues that affect
them?
This is one of the worst aspects of many open source projects!
The programmers don't take users seriously enough.
Or they expect users who bother to report problems to be programmers
Thanks Peter,
If that's how you see this particular issue, then why was there never any
such response along those lines from ANYONE in the SWORD development team?
btw. I don't fully agree with you as regards the details for

Insert comment here about lack of time and everyone being a volunteer and life
going on and bigger fish to fry and ... M, fried fish!

Aside from a mod2osis patch he submitted once upon a time, I don't think
Greg has done any work on the utilities, so I'm unclear why you're
asking him.

Yes, but

These utilities should give the required output when single verses are
requested, but should be intelligent enough to avoid duplications when a
passage is to be processed that includes the verse range (or part of one).
Chris has answered already
More a comment on the thread than this reply.
We have bug trackers to record bugs, to record feature requests, to record
development plans,
Reported bugs are not created equal. They are not equally important. They need
to be triaged.
Some thoughts:
A reported bug may not be a bug but a

If the problem is so acute and important to you, hire some hungry
programmer (there are tons of them around, especially given the economy)
and make him to fix it.
Regarding MODTOOLS-31, this should be three separate bug reports. Bug reports
that are too broad are seldom seen as anything more than an observation. No one
person would ever be the owner of this one report. I'm inclined to suggest
that we close it as invalid or won't fix and state why.
There are a small number of projects (mostly church projection
software) who use diatheke output and then post process it but I think
this is simply a sign of lack of willingness to get to grips with the
API. I have been in contact with one such project and pointed out the
python bindings - my

used Bibles and these tools were widely used, then fixing any of these might
be more urgent.
I can assure you that based upon the large

I'm sure someone is. I have no authority to commit to the utilities

Yes - the do need to be triaged, but an AE department in which the triage
nurses never made a decision or never communicated it to the patient would
not be considered fit for purpose.

Firefox, Thunderbird, and OpenOffice.org, are three programs that have
had bug reports that went ignored for more than four years.
