Guys,

We've had the full project Paratext/USFM files from Arfon Jones since last
July.

Module building is held up due to unsolved issues in usfm2osis.py as
reported in MODTOOLS.

To be clear, there's currently a hold on all module releases. This is because there are currently bugs in the toolchain that transforms USFM to OSIS and that transforms OSIS to Sword modules. Some of these are long-standing, and I'm nervous/wary about their causing data-loss. As a result, I want to concentrate on fixing bugs. I figure that my time is better spent fixing reported bugs than determining whether a particular module would be affected by a particular bug.

My own personal TODO list, as pertains to this issue, is:

1) Clear all of the bugs in JIRA pertaining to osis2mod. (I mean this to be within reason. Some bugs may be generally irrelevant to module releases. Others could conceivably be so obscure or so far outside my ken that I can't find their source.) With the closure of MODTOOLS-1, I might be at the point where I can move on to #2...

2) Clear all OSIS-formatted submissions to modu...@crosswire.org.

3) Re-issue any OSIS-formatted modules that likely suffered from recently fixed bugs.

4) Clear all of the bugs in JIRA pertaining to usfm2osis.py.

5) Clear all USFM-formatted submissions to sword-modu...@crosswire.org (or elsewhere).

6) Re-issue any USFM-formatted modules that likely suffered from recently fixed bugs.

7) Finish the last bits of the script that builds & auto-update modules from Michael Johnson's site. (It's almost done, I promise, but the aforementioned utilities have been too buggy/sketchy to make this live.)

8) ...

9) Rejoice! / Take a nap.


There are some out-of-channel issues that I am also working on, of course. If you're following sword-cvs, you'll be aware of these already, but I'm trying to clear up some bugs & complete the implementation of various new features for 1.8. So the above TODO list doesn't necessarily mean that the completion of one task will immediately lead to my work on the subsequent task. But we should get there soon--and before 1.8.
