[Martin Gruner]

Hello Jens-Peter,

Cool. Esp. the part about BibleTime (I am one of the admins of BibleTime). =)
I respond not because I know everything about sword, but just because nobody 
else did. I like your idea.

Right.

Right.

Right.

Nothing.

None.

No idea.

I really like the idea of making sword more public. But what else than a 
passive web strategy would you aim at? Do you already have thoghts / plans in 
the queue?
