Welcome Kurt!
A few things that might interest you.
We have an ESV module about ready for release and have permission from
Crossway for such:
http://crosswire.org/study/passagestudy.jsp?mod=ESV
We also have a number of binding for our engine, including CORBA, and a
number of languages supported by SWIG.
Utilities should all be cross-platform. Be provide binaries for
windows because that crowd usually can't do it themselves :) Have a
look at our SVN source repo at:
http://crosswire.org/svn/sword/trunk
Glad to have you. We could use the help. Looking forward to sharing
together with you in service for our Lord.

Hey all,
My name is Kurt. By day I'm a mild mannered application architect for a
nation wide car rental company who shall remain nameless because they
don't pay me to advertise. In the evening I help my wife of sixteen
years take care of our five kids and write software. Why do I write
software in the evening after doing it all day. That's the way God
wired me I guess.
Current areas of interest ( in no particular order):
Studying the bible
Java -- Of course that's what we use all day
Ruby -- this is how I relax in the evening
scripting languages in general (groovy, perl, python etc.)
Regular expressions -- did I mention I was some what of a ... I guess
they still call us geeks
Web application systems and web services (soap)
Data warehousing
Math
Current projects outside of work
I'm currently testing the experimental soap interface for the ESV
on-line bible using ruby's soap module so that we can integrate it into
our church web site
Figuring out how to convert Crossway's XML schema to OSIS
Some Ideas I had for participating in the Sword project
Helping to get some of the modern Bible translations into the project
especially the ESV
Adding red letters to the the ASV. For some reason this feature isn't
working in the ASV module I downloaded for use with my macSword. I
don't know if it's a bug or if it's just some extra mark-up that needs
to be done. I'd like to try my hand at a couple of modules anyway just
to get an idea of how that side of things works.
All of the import utilities seem to be written for windows. I'd like to
try my hand at some more cross platform friendly versions. Where can I
find documentation on the final *.swd format and the conversion
algorithm. I know that the intermediate format is OSIS or one of the
other markups. It's the stuff for the final import I'm interested in.
I'd prefer not to have to reverse engineer it from some C/C++ code, but
I guess I can if I have to.
These probably aren't the only things I'd be interested in they're just
a starting point. I'll let you guys clue me in as to who needs help
with what
Regards
Kurt
