Hi,

I'm pondering if we should give the GUI a separate name from the main 
engine.
Here's why:
-> It's the way the C++ SWORD project does it
-> "JSword" explains well to front-end writers what it does (A Java 
version of Sword), but to normal end-users it is very confusing. I'm 
often asked "Why is it called JSword" and I'm not sure the answer helps.
-> It is a common assumption that the Swing GUI is tightly bound to the 
main engine when it isn't.

Yes/No?

Joe.
