Welcome to the CrossWire Developers' Wiki This Wiki now always uses HTTPS protocol. CrossWire still has a self-signed certificate. You may therefore need to add an exception in your browser. Be sure to check out our current projects page to see how you might use your skills here at CrossWire. Please look at our general volunteering page, the bugs database and/or assist end-users in the forums. Also, we have pages describing the purpose of our work and the CrossWire Bible Society itself. You can even come and chat with SWORD developers on IRC: #sword on FreeNode. Newcomers should take note of the difference between SWORD as a back-end, and the SWORD Project as a front-end application for Windows.
