[jsword-devel] JSword GoBible Creator

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Hey guys.  How's the GoBible creator from JSword stuff going?

I have another idea for you, in addition to the website download generator:

How about something we can place on our CD which will generate a GoBible 
package from user selected options.  We're pretty tight on space on the 
CD so I don't want to duplicate the data for every module inside a 
GoBible installer, but if we could have an on-demand Generator instead, 
that would be really cool.  The root of CD is a SWORD library 
installations so JSword can grab Bibles from there.

What do ya think?

	-Troy.
