I don't want to fight about this yet again. This is a commercial module to be sold by Lockman. That is a different scenario from other modules. For this module, I have reasonably asked:
1) That we have a scripted, reproducible way to transform their data from their pristine source to a module. 2) That we support their entire dataset which they have given us for this module (base text + footnotes / crossrefs + lexica) 3) That the result works generally in all major SWORD/JSword frontends. It is not as simple as-- just release it and fix it later. This is to be sold by Lockman. Historically, we have had at least 4 people own this effort over the years. It is not simply that one person has sat on this and hasn't finished it for 12 years. I think we are close. In my mind, the current owner (Greg) simply needs to have a list of outstanding items which keep us from satisfying 1-3 and push each of them down the road until they are done. I don't know what those items are. I am just concerned that we meet 1-3 before we give the data to Lockman to sell and I feel these 3 items are reasonable requests.
