== What prompted me to do this? ==

This exercise was prompted by something posted in facebook by one of my friends. He had pasted a verse from our existing Wycliffe module, which contains only the Pentateuch and the Gospels, and which was derived from Sergej Fedosov's Slavic Bible. IMHO, it should be fairly straightforward to create a SWORD module for the entire Wycliffe Bible, albeit we would require to use '''av11n''' to include the 10 Deuterocanonical books.

	For the first time in my life, I've just tried the WikiSource Book Application. I added all 76 pages for the Wycliffe Bible to a special book, then downloaded it in Open Document text format (*.odt). This can be opened using WordPad. The complete text is thus available for further processing and hence potential comparison with the one it was derived from at the Wesley Center Online.

		+	== WikiSource Conversion to USFM ==
		+	I made a separate TextPipe filter to process the WikiSource file, after first converting the downloaded ODT file to Unicode using WordPad. The single text file was split automatically into 76 USFM file. The file split was at a pattern, so the file numbers do not match how I manually numbered the Wesley Center files.
		+
		+	=== Versification errors in the WikiSource edition ===
		+	The only correction in this edition was to the verse numbers for Psalm 9.
		+
		+	The following additonal errors were detected:
		+	<pre>
		+	04_Numbers.usfm 31 15
		+	04_Numbers.usfm 31 34
		+	54_Romaynes.usfm 3 17
		+	</pre>
		+	The text for these three verses is missing. [[User:David Haslam\|David Haslam]] 19:59, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
