[sword-devel] Mobile HTML JavaScript - Bishop + Designers, Help Wanted

[Greg Hellings]

Oh good, Bishop has been my main mobile Bible app for a bit now and there's
only one minor issue I had with the UI. Now that I know where the code is,
I can mash up a fix to it.

Before I click the link and expend any actual effort to answer my own
question, are there build instructions for it?
