[jsword-devel] Bible Desktop

[Joe Walker]

Thanks.
Having flashcards traffic here is fine, and probably makes more sense 
than on sword-devel.

I'm a bit concerned that there are people on this list as users who are 
getting a bit overwhelmed with the devt traffic.
Maybe we should have a jsword-user list for lower bandwidth/tech level 
stuff?

It might make sense if we started to move all the java based projects to 
the same cvs repo as well. We probably ought to be sharing code more 
than we do.

Joe.
