[mobile-devel] Android front-ends

[d.haslam at ukonline.co.uk]

Hi everyone,

I have read the recent messages about designing a 2-dimensional grid for
selecting books of the Bible.

This is a plea to make the front-ends being developed for the Android platform
to be 'canon-neutral'. Please do not "freeze in" a book selector interface that
works only with the 66 protocanonical books.

For further background, please refer to the following wiki page.

and take in the talk given by Neil Rees (Studge) at the BibleTech 2010
conference held in San José this March.  See the link under

http://www.crosswire.org/wiki/Alternate_Versification#Resources

By doing so, you can make the new Android applications much more versatile for
others to use.

Also, please ensure that the book abbreviation labels are part of the
localization strings. In that way, non-English users can easily adapt these for
their own locale.

Keep up the good work.

Yours in Christ's service,
David Haslam
