Subject: Re: [sword-devel] NET Bible
Thanks DM. I saw that thread after I had posted the one that I did to
the list. David, Barry, I'm willing to help where I can. I'll admit,
I've only thought about what doing a project like this would entail.

Josh, Thanks for your offer to help, Barry and/or Moses will be in
contact with you.. IF you would like to see what we have done with
e-sword its available at the netbible tab
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.bible.org/default.asp?scid=3">http://www.bible.org/default.asp?scid=3</a> click the download link on the
left navigation section. There u will find the various downloads and if
u click the free e-sword one you will see what we did in the e-sword
enviroment. (it will ask u to register for the site). I am the
bible.org product manager and I hope that our sword developers come up
with a superior product that shows off the capibility of sword well. I
have not seen their finial proposal because they are still coming to
grips with how best to do the displays and GUI's and what platforms to
support in addition to windows. mac? linux? etc.<br>
<br>
As a side issue for the group, I had hoped that Sword would have a
better capability than it does to display non biblial texts as I would
like to build a tool that can display Islamic and <font
face="Book Antiqua">Buddhist scripture </font>the Quran and the
hadiths in various languagers and a search tool that lets you search a
topic and do a comparission of what the Islamic or the <font
face="Book Antiqua">Buddhist scriptures </font>say about topic xyz. I
think this would be very helpful to those in the field ministering
within these people groups.. But i am told that I have to look
elsewhere for the tool to do this or i have to write it from scratch.<br>
