You've really put in a fine effort Nathan, I'm glad to be on your team
Now that you've got the building blocks established on the Maemo5 platform, and brought Rapier 'back to life', you really have got us to a great launching point for developing a new GUI.
Regarding time - I am a pro SE, and I'm not getting paid for this, so I tend to squeeze my book-lernin' into lunches and evenings. I've got deadlines as I'm sure Nathan does. I'm extremely impressed that Nathan has got the entire stack
including
Rapier pushed into devel - he has arguably single-handedly got us to the 'critical mass' point where ongoing dev is progressively easier.
Kudos to Nathan
My thoughts regarding an 'attack plan' is to first spend some time exploring Qt and what I can do within the confines of the Maemo5/hildon environment....then (as Nathan suggested) start digging into BibleTime to see where a clean 'split' can be made (hopefully the code isn't so gnarly that this is impossible!). There should be a layer of code that deals with interacting with the Sword API - we can borrow heavily from this - and above this should be some presentation layer code that we can hopefully find a way to 'massage' into a new hildon-style GUI.
Everything I've just typed comes with the caveat "I'm a ***** and could be totally wrong"
