[sword-devel] New Project Idea: MozSword

The code I wrote for the screenshots are pretty sloppy and would probably
not be very helpful. They are simply a product of me fiddling with XUL one
sleepless night, trying to figure out how it worked. I will try to make time
this week to put something simpler together and make that available. Maybe
we can go from there.  If I can figure out how to get XUL to talk to the
Sword library I'd be very happy. I do not even know how XPCOM works.

by grace alone,
