Initial Comment:
Hello!  I've just transitioned to Linux, and love Bibletime and everything it gives us.  Thanks for it.

I notice you have the Joseph Smith translation, with the proper warning.  Is it possible in some way to load the Book of Mormon and other LDS scriptures into Bibletime?

I'm an independent Mormon historian -- not a member of the LDS church, but a researcher/writer/speaker on LDS-related subjects.  Having the other Mormon scriptures available would be a great help.

Thanks.

Eeli is right, please take this to http://crosswire.org/bugs. Closing.

Technically it's possible if someone creates those modules. We use the
capabilities of the Sword project engine which takes care of reading the
modules. The Crosswire Bible Society is responsible of that project and
hosts most of the modules including JST, but anyone can create and publish
content. I haven't heard that anyone would be interested in creating Mormon
related material, though. You have to find someone who is. The work isn't
too difficult but it requires some time and knowledge to add proper markup
to the digital source text and turn it into a genbook (general book)
module.
