Cool :) So you will support only Zefania and OSIS? Or is your API open for other markup schemes with plugins or something similair? > We need a reliable source for downloading pur OSIS-XML bible files, so > we ask you to put your available OSIS-files online for downloading. The Sword API supports conversion of modules into OSIS XML files, for example using the mos2osis tool. That could be done automatically to publish OSIS files of modules online. Atm I don't know what Troy's and Chris's plans about pure XML data files are but I think it might be a worthy addition to the existing Sword module data files. > in short our credo for working with OSIS XML is: > > We do not convert them in a ** > <http://dict.leo.org/se?lp=ende&p=/Mn4k.&search=Intermediate> > intermediate format but our API will work directly on XML.

Directly working on XML data files has some nice advantages in my opinion, just like you said. > The Theologische Initiative Freiburg has no doubt that our support of > OSIS will push the OSIS-Project and the Sword-Project also to a higher > level of acceptance by biblesoftware developers who look ahead the future. Yes, a better collaboration between Zefania and OSIS (or even MyBible/Zefania frontends <-> Sword frontends) is something I'd really love to achieve.
