[sword-devel] Bishop for Android 1.0.6

[David Haslam]

Further to Karl's point, I have just updated this wiki page:

https://wiki.crosswire.org/Choosing_a_SWORD_program

A column has been added for Bishop, with legend = B.

The cells for the first table have been filled.
Please edit the Bishop entries in the other tables. Thanks.

Aside: If you look at my new topic in the [Talk page](https://wiki.crosswire.org/Talk:Choosing_a_SWORD_program), I have suggested that we should remove FireBible from the page.

Best regards,

David

Troy has already worked out a bunch of kinks I mentioned in the last couple days and it's much better than the previous release. It has a couple warts yet, mostly due to needing to work out how to run a UI that allows the user to pick the speakers to whom Bishop should listen. It's not a trivial problem, for several reasons.
