I would like to see "memorization" added to BibleDesktop.

In the JSword engine our approach has been to have a generalized 
interface that would work for any implementation and then define 
specific implementations of the interface for each way the data is 
stored. After vacation, I can work with you on this.

For example, JSword could easily be extended to sit over top of a 
database, say Access, Ingres, Oracle, Mysql, ..., and pull verses from 
it. Another example, JSword could implement web access to get data. We 
have prototyped these and some others that sit in "jsword-limbo".

Together in Christ,
