Re: [sword-devel] Collaboration efforts for a front end

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Actually, we have 2 flavours of Java SWORD these days. We've gained an independent project: Project B, that has decided to join our efforts and has been relabeled: jsword, and we have our our older attempt at a class by class port of the sword libraries that our website uses, now renamed jsword-old. They are both still developed but one day may become one project.

-Troy.

you can view the jsword page at:

http://www.crosswire.org/jsword

and view the code from either one in our cvs repository or viewcvs at:

http://www.crosswire.org/ucgi-bin/dglassey/viewcvs.cgi


ModEdit still uses the C++ engine, though it seems to work quite nice and might be advantagious for certain tasks like searching.

Sounds like a great Java project,  ;-)

And we already have a good start in form of well-organized,
over-engineered ModEdit ;) :)

Subject: [sword-devel] Collaboration efforts for a front end


With regards to Sword for Windows, BibleTime, & GnomeSword:

Just some questions and thoughts...

1) Has anyone considered using a cross-platform toolkit like wxWindows
for this project so that we all can work on the same code, be able to
compile on different platforms, and still maintain the look and feel of
each respective OS?  wxWindows is great and this would allow all of us
to contribute to the same project.  This would eliminate the need to
re-invent the wheel for each OS.  Therefore, instead of working on just
an OS X port, we could port the existing front-end to wxWindows and then
use it on all platforms.

2) Are the goals for each of these different (ie. is one focused on just
providing a Bible study tool and another focused on providing a
full-featured Bible study and analysis tool like BibleWorks)?

3) If someone wants to see an open source versin of a full-featured
Bible study and analysis tool like the commercial software, BibleWorks,
developed, what are the major components that are needed to be developed
(ie. databases on morphologies, parsing, etc.)?
