We had some talk about the website. The front page should have
catchwords to get hits from search engines. The current result is poor.
Try for example "bible study software". Logos and e-Sword are at the
top. Add "free" and you get e-Sword. No wonder people use it if it's the
first one they find. What kind of searches should return "BibleTime"? At
least those including some combinations of these words:

free
open source
bible (study)
software
application
program
windows
linux

Can you find more? Here is one description having all those words.

"BibleTime is completely free - and Open Source - Bible study software.
The program's user interface is built with Qt framework which makes it
run on several operating systems including Linux, Windows and MacOSX.
This computer application uses the SWORD programming library to work
with over 200 free Bible texts, commentaries, dictionaries and books
provided by the CrossWire Bible Society."

Also the page title might be better if it included "free" but for
conciseness not "Open Source". People search for "free" more probably
than "Open Source". (BTW, it has "Open Source" with O S but "bible"
with b. Not good.)
