[sword-devel] GnomeSword 2.3.1 (Re: 1.5.10 Released)

[Troy A. Griffitts]

I agree with everything DM said, but I'm trying to picture any of our 
10s of thousands of windows users pulling up a list of genbooks and 
seeing between Calvin's Commentaries and Duke Databank of Papyrii, the 
Gnomesword User's Manual.

Do you see where I'm a little concerned that it seems out of place?

I'm sorry Karl, I do think it's cool, and I honestly tried to find an 
email from me on sword-devel in Nov '06 to help me remember my thoughts 
back then, but couldn't find the one you mentioned.

Regardless, I still think it seems out of place for our end users who 
are looking for Theological Content.  Maybe we could have a special 
section for these?  Chris' buyin is important on this one, as he is the 
pumpkin holder for all things "SWORD module".  (and it lets me pass the 
buck)

Congrats on the new GS release!  Sorry for delaying it with 1.5.10.

	-Troy.
