mine, I've taken particular interest in it for Bishop, because
it's the 2nd program to provide it after Xiphos. 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.<br> <br> I mentioned to Troy that I consider Bishop's BibleSync interface
to be an interesting instance of differing UI perspectives:<br> - Xiphos speaks every time the user navigates somewhere new;
Bishop speaks only when the user specifically asks, from the
sidebar.<br> (Of course, Xiphos doesn't nav at all until an explicit choice is
made; Bishop sort of continuously navs just by scrolling the
pane.)<br> - Xiphos auto-navs on receipt by default, with an option to use
the verse list as indirect nav; Bishop always uses the verse list.<br> - Xiphos uses the logged-in name to identify the user; Bishop has
no inherent sense of the user's name (unless dealing with a
permissions issue to retrieve that info from Android), so it has a
settings twiddle for setting a friendly name.<br> <br> Both methodologies are perfectly fine and acceptable ways of
dealing with putting capability in the user's hands, but they are
very different in how that capability is seen. I would be
interested in others' opinions, now that there's more than one app
that speaks BibleSync.<br> <br> This has also induced me to make a couple small fixes in Xiphos. I
think I may finally have the motivation to finish kicking out
Xiphos 4.0.8 soon. Sorry for the delay; life has not been fun
around my house lately.<br> <br> I was going to say that Troy needs to update the Choosing a Sword
App wiki page, to add a new column for Bishop, but I can't find
the wiki at all, it's all 404. What's up?</span></div></blockquote><div><br></div>
