[sword-devel] wxWindows Sword Viewer

[Joachim Ansorg]

Hi!

Nice work!

I think it should be no problem for us if you use the BibleTime icons. Maybe 
you find some nice ones in our package?

> The project is hosted on sourceforge at

> It can be got by cvs with:

>  cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/christiangame co

> The look and feel that I was aiming for was that of a web browser, allowing
> for multiple windows, and multiple tabs within each window. The only
> difference being that I am allowing each window to be split into up to four
> frames, each containing tabs. I have all of the main functionality for tabs

> credit-card size, (if you haven't seen credit card cd's, here is some info:
> http://www.memorex.com/products/category_display.php?cid=10) one in the
> ~210MB 8CM size and a ~700MB full size. Each with selected modules
> installed that can be run directly from CD. With the goal being that CD's
> can be used as witnessing tools and distributed freely, perhaps even one
> day put beside the AOL cd's at your local gocery store.
>
> The goal of using them as witnessing tools leads me to the next goal of

> verses with associated comments that can be used to guide the user through
> some verses. Specifically I see this being used in the "run from cd" mode
> to lead the recepient of the CD through verses on salvation. Perhaps ending
> with "1-800-NEED-HIM" or some similar resource.

> I'm horrible at making icons and to give this a polished look there will be
> a need for some good ones. Currently it is only tested on GCC-Linux-GTK2,
> and needs to look good on Windows. None of the "Bible Study" functionality
> has been started. Code is as yet undocumented :). Only VerseKey and
> Module->SetKey() based lookups work right now, so general books cannot be
> read at all and daily devotionals are kind of a kludge, knowing that you
> have to enter, i.e. "01.25". Personally, with the vision that I have in
> mind I see appearance as a bigger concern than the technical features, so
> automatically looking up strongs references, for example, would come later.
>
> Anyhow, I'll stop rambling now.
>
> I have a real desire to see this completed and will be spending a lot of
> time on it, anyone who is interested please join in. I suggest that any
> development discussion about this new project take place on sourceforge.
> I'll set up a mailing list if need be.

> Thanks,
