Fabrizio,
Thank you for considering working together in your effort for our Lord.
I, personally, have had a desire to build a translation software suite
to facilitate a distributed Bible translation project. We have
immediate plans for a 'SWORD Community Editor (SCE)'-- a web-based tool
to allow uploads of modules and community tagging, footnoting, etc. My
hope is that this will be a good breeding ground for tool which will
facilitate the former.
I'm hopeful to hear your ideas and am excited to work together with
you. Please feel free to use sword-devel to communicate with our
community here, and if interest and traffic peak, we'd be happy to
create a separate mailing list to meet the need. If there are any
services we might provide, please also let us know. I hope you will
find that the true valuable advantage of CrossWire is a _community_ of
sincere engineers who desire to use their talent together for our Lord.
The technical services are offer are a very distant second.
Looking forward to working together,
-Troy A. Griffitts

Hi Martin,
your project sounds really exciting. I am not the boss of crosswire,
but
currently I don't see why your project should not be acceptable. Why
do you
want to collaborate with crosswire? Do you want to base your software on
Sword?
we will use some bibles of the Sword project, and our project is
targeted primarily to the biblic language. I think it could be a good
enhancement to the Sword project, since it will supply additional study
tools.
Imagine you can open a chapter of the bible in Hebrew, and see word by
word every possible meaning and translation. You could catch all the
possible nuances, and it is known that many things in the bible can be
interpreted in different ways.
Kindest regards,
Fabrizio Lanza - ULC-ITALIA
Troy would have to speak the final word, and he is the one who can
give you a
SVN repository / webspace etc.
Martin
P.S. We use mysql a lot at work, for high-load applications, and it
works just
great.
