[sword-devel] Android SWORD

[Wes Widner]

Troy,

Is there any chance we could start up a seperate project/repo for an Android
front-end?

Now that I'm done with my project (flashcard clone for Android) I would love
to help out with an Android Bible app. Especially since I've begun to notice
the abrupt shortcomings of the other Android Bible apps.

-Wes
