Scott!

What a small world. I was just thinking about you this morning when Will
announced the release of MacSword 0.2.5 and then you show up on the list
before I even contacted you. Kind of freaky actually. :)  Welcome aboard.

I hope no one takes this the wrong way, but new volunteer assimilation is
not exactly the Sword Project's strong point, if you know what I mean. I
wish I could point you in the right direction, but I don't really know
anything about the Mac version development. Hopefully someone will come
along and give you something to work on. If not, just dive in and make
something up.


by grace alone,
