[bd-users] [sword-devel] Map Idea

[DM Smith]

I've been following this discussion but have not responded since I have 
terrible internet connection while on holiday this week.

These are cool ideas! Also on sword-devel we have talked about 
annotating the map modules. You should look there, too.

The bd-users mailing list is ok for people to request new features, but 
when the discussion of them gets technical (i.e. starts to talk of how 
or detailed wrt what), they really should be on jsword-devel.

In Him,
    DM

Why not write a new Bible desktop using the eclipse Rich Client Platform, after all it's not just for IDE's.  Look here for more information:
