I thought I'd bring up a series of 3 articles by Larosa Johnson of WORDsearch, especially since the Sword project came up a few times in the comments:
The Ultimate Bible Software Application http://blog.trailblazinministries.com/tech-stuff/ Adobe AIR was mentioned for a cross platform solution that could also run on the web. Flex apps like Buzzword and Saffron make it clear to me that a very nice application is possible, across Windows, Macintosh, Linux and with some limitations, the web. Of course re-implementing the functionality of Sword in ActionScript 3 would be a lot of work, and the single-threaded limitation makes it challenging to maintain responsiveness while searching. One the other hand, AS3 is a fairly nice very high-level language, and the Flex SDK is free, so cost need not hinder development. Just wondering if anyone has considered this before or done any work towards this end? --- Nathan Youngman Email: nj at nathany dot com Web: http://www.nathany.com _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
