Dear all, This is a call for volunteers interested in (mostly) English language commentaries and general spiritual books.
After a long hiatus of non-communication with CCEL I have been given permission to use their ThML files to upload to CrossWire. This is a brilliant thing. Trouble is when I looked at it closer I realised we actually do not have any thml2vs like import utility. We do have a utility for general books, but not for commentaries. I do see that we have some work on scripts for the Calvin commentaries which are CCEL derived, but I had not had a deeper look inside that yet. So, in short - if someone feels willing and called to tackle this 1) a well described and fully automatised process to create a commentary module from ThML source, including XML validation 2) a well described and preferably fully automatised process to pre- process CCEL source to make it clean for further import. any language, as long as it runs on Linux. C, C++, Perl or Python preferred though. Then, if someone wants to take on a guardian and shepherding role to deal with what is on offer and produce quality modules from it, with conf files etc etc, this would be hugely appreciated. I will continue to deal with the upload. This is probably a huge opportunity to help us get a large number of quality texts from a well reputed source, so it would be wonderful if someone or some who are previously maybe not so deeply involved want to tackle this. Thanks!
