<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;">Hello</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;">First,
I must say you are doing a great job.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;">Some
ideas of mine: </p>
<ul>
<li>Bookmarks - add import/export (XML, probably), add colors to
labels</li>
<li>AutoScroll - text scrolls automatically (like palmbible+)</li>
<li>Document lang - change book names and so according to the
document, UI lang not relevant</li>
</ul>
Maybe we can see other mobile applications for ideas (PocketSword,
PalmBible+, etc.)<br>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;">BTW,
a small bug - at the end of each chapter, there's a long blank
part (almost screen size). I don't know if it always like that or
Hebrew document cause that, but still annoying.</p>

And Bible and would like to give people a chance to comment. The
items in the first list I have been thinking about and am probably
ready to implement. Please comment if you have any thoughts or
opinions regarding implementation or regarding items you would
like to see or not see in And Bible. Items in the second list I
would like to implement but am not yet ready. Items in the last
list I have no plans yet to implement. People seem to like the
recently added grid navigation and that was pushed through because
of comments from this group:

<div style="direction: ltr;"><b><u>Possibly Next Release</u></b></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><b>Speech</b></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><i>I have spent too long thinking
about how best to do this.</i></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Aim: Allow multiple sequential or
diverse chapters to be queued for speech.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
Alternative 1: Simple enhancement so that if Speech button is
pressed on a chapter not being spoken the chapter is added to
the speech for queue. If Speech is pressed on a chapter just
requested to be spoken then all speech is aborted.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Possibility to allow fewer presses
by moving the Speech button to the first screen of menu
buttons but which button to remove and how to know if user
can/does use Speech.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Alternative 2: Show Speech Dialog
when Speech button is pressed but this would involve a lot
more button presses.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Alternative 3: Add stateful Speak
button beside Quick Link buttons (at top) in Portrait mode
(more room) if selected in Settings. The Speak/Silent button
would switch between the several states Speak, 2 Chapters, 4
Chapters, Book, Silent. </div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">My vote: I prefer Alternative 3 or
possibly Alternative 1 because I feel a dialog just to add a
chapter is overkill and could frustrate users.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><b>Allow Xiphos Module Download</b></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Include modules from Xiphos in
download list. Is there a Master List we can use? If not I
just plan to merge the Xiphos list with the CrossWire list.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">I also need to add a Refresh List
button.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><b>TSK Links</b></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Requested by a couple of users.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><b>Bad XML Toleration</b></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
The optimised page loading does not have JSword's bad xml
structure toleration for books like WEB. I plan to try
falling back on JSword if the optimised technique fails.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><b>Strong's List of Ref use</b></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Use Lucene index to display a list
of all verses containing a certain Strong's ref</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><b>Remove Create Index Button</b></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Does anybody use it?</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><b>RTL Page Header Tidy Up</b></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">I have considered separating out
chapter, verse, book, module into different components to
prevent bidi problems and improve layout for rtl languages
(Hebrew). Separate components would also allow us to switch
everything around </div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><b>Small Changes</b></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">More wait cursors e.g. when
searching.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Formatting of text needs more
consistency and tidying.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Splash screen needs better layout.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Large screen Tablets can't scroll
to last verse.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Nav to Verse or Chapter Setting to
optionally 3rd level to Navigation</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><b><u>Later Release</u></b></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">These are things I would like to do
but not yet.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
<div style="direction: ltr;"><b><br>
</b></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><b>Improve Formatting</b></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Important and ongoing. I have
really focussed on ESV but need to look at others more
closely.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><b><br>
</b></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><b>Fancy Header</b></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">It could be prettier but it needs
to be small. The Android Twitter ui is supposed to be a
good model but the Toolbar there is very wide. Also some
have suggested allowing full page viewing but I am not sure.
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><b>Navigation</b></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">I don't like putting my fingers
all over the screen I am reading but thumbwheels are not so
common now so maybe: touch right/left edge to go forward
back a chapter, touch bottom corner to scroll down.</div>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><b>Gen Book Module Support</b></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Support CrossWire book modules</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><b><br>
</b></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><b>Book Speaker</b></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">I really like the TTS and would
like to use it with Books</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><b>Chinese Search</b></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">I had to disable this a few
releases ago but I have no visibility of the number of Chinese
users of And Bible so don't know the priority.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><b>Reading Plan</b></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">I did not know how many people use
a reading plan until recently.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><b>Twitter & Facebook
Integration</b></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Maybe somebody would like to
contribute the code<i>. </i><i>I am not even on Twitter.</i></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><b>Hide Document Facility</b></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">For documents you want on your
mobile but don't use often or for non directly used docs like
Strongs.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><b>Better Localisation Support</b></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Localisations merit a dedicated
resource to organise, support, check, ... Possibly integrate
with Translations LaunchPad.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><b>More Inter Document Links</b></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><b>Faster Start Up</b></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><b>Tabbed Document selector</b></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><b>Pictures & Maps</b></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><b><u>No Plans yet</u></b></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Flexible verse selection</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Enhance/fix TTS suppport for non
built-in versions like SVOX</div>
